As a beauty journalist, I love a good brand story. But over the course of my career, few have struck me quite like that of Egyptian Magic. According to the brand, it all started in 1986 at a Chicago diner, when LordPharaoh ImHotepAmonRa (then known as Westley Howard) was approached by a stranger. While the details of his identity were vague, the stranger introduced himself as Dr. Imas and told ImHotepAmonRa that he had been “moved by the spirit” to reveal something to him. The something, as it turned out, was the recipe for Egyptian Magic, a do-it-all skin cream Imas claimed was the same formula used in ancient Egyptian tombs.
In 1991 ImHotepAmonRa launched the cream to the world, and soon, it went gangbusters. Nowadays, it’s available in drugstores and pharmacies world over, lauded for its nourishing properties and varying uses.
But legends aside, does it really work? Or better said, is it worth the hype? There’s only one way to find out. Keep reading for my review along with expert insight from board-certified dermatologist Morgan Rabach, MD.

Dłonie i ciało
Skóra na dłoniach o tej porze roku częściej ulega przesuszeniu. Zdarza się, że bywa popękana lub zaczerwieniona. Często nawet osoby, które nie mają stwierdzonego AZS (atopowego zapalenia skóry), narzekają na spierzchniętą skórę rąk. Przydają się nieco bardziej tłuste formuły kosmetyków.
Sięgam po odrobinę kremu Egyptian Miracle Eveline Cosmetics za każdym razem, gdy chcę dłoniom dać chwilę odpoczynku. Ogrzewam go we wnętrzu rąk, a odżywcze składniki kremu rozpuszczają się do postaci delikatnego olejku. Wykonuję nim delikatny masaż i wkładam bawełniane rękawiczki. Smaruję nim też stopy i pięty, a potem zakładam na nie bawełniane skarpetki. Rano skóra dłoni i stóp jest gładka jak jedwab! Znikają nierówności, naskórek jest miękki i miły w dotyku, a podrażnienia – dużo jaśniejsze.
Na dłoniach Krem-Ratunek Eveline Cosmetics zdecydowanie lepiej się sprawdza wieczorową porą, ale za to egipska receptura jest genialna o każdej porze dnia do stosowania punktowego. Przydaje się do ratowania spierzchniętych ust. Krem-Ratunek można nakładać zamiast balsamu do ust, a także pod kolorowe pomadki. Wygładza, odżywia, regeneruje i wyrównuje powierzchnię ust.
Wosk pszczeli, oliwa, olejek słonecznikowy i miód doskonale radzą sobie także z wygładzaniem skóry pod oczami, która nie ma tkanki podskórnej, więc najszybciej widać tu oznaki zmęczenia i starzenia. Nakładam go i jako krem pod oczy na dzień i krem pod oczy na noc. Bez problemu napina skórę, daje jej zastrzyk odżywienia i wyrównuje powierzchnię, sprawiając, że jest bardziej elastyczna. Dzięki temu wydaje się młodsza!
Egyptian Magic Review
Egyptian Magic is a skin care brand that has amassed a cult following because of their “magic” All-Purpose Skin Cream. Making its debut in 1991, Egyptian Magic All-Purpose Skin Cream is a healing balm formulated with natural ingredients that can be used for a variety of purposes. Even celebrity makeup artists, models, and actresses – like Kate Hudson and Ashley Benson – swear by Egyptian Magic cream.
So is Egyptian Magic cream really the secret to glowing skin or is it all hype? In order to answer this question, we’ll have to review this product with a scientific lens, meaning we’ll evaluate the research that supports (or doesn’t support) the ingredients that you’ll find in this product. We’ll also share some Egyptian Magic reviews so you can get a better idea of what customers really think about this product.
What’s In It: Six simple ingredients
The Egyptian Magic Cream is made up of six simple ingredients: Olive oil, beeswax, honey, bee pollen, royal jelly (the food source given to the queen bee), and propolis extract (a compound produced by bees with antiseptic qualities). This is the aforementioned secret formula allegedly used by ancient Egyptian pharaohs to soothe and nourish the skin, and still hold true today. According to Dr. Rabach, the best skin cream products have antioxidants like vitamins C and E, which in this formula would come from the bee pollen and olive oil, respectively. Olive oil and beeswax are highly moisturizing, whereas the bee pollen, royal jelly, and propolis are rich in nutrients and have an antiseptic/anti-inflammatory effect on the skin. There’s not a lot of actual science to back up the formulation, but the raving reviews are hard to ignore.
As a beauty journalist, I love a good brand story. But over the course of my career, few have struck me quite like that of Egyptian Magic.
