As you all know, I have SEVERE scarring on my right cheek, I don't know why, but it's just on my right. I think that's the side I sleep on, which is why I need to wash all my sheets/pillow cases. After months of not seeing any results of scar fading from GOW products I was using (since they were more hydrating than"scar fading"), I decided to branch out and try more products. I've heard good things about Egyptian Magic but gawked at the high price tag of $35 at my local health food store (like Wild Oats, Trader Joe's, Whole Food, etc). However, I couldn't stand my scars anymore (and since I need a "referral" from my regular doctor to see a dermatologist, and she won't refer me, so I can't get Retin-A or Differin), I sucked it up and purchased my first jar of Egyptian Magic (EM).
HOLY MOTHER OF JESUS!! How did I live for so long without this piece of jem?!! I couldn't believe how moisturizing this is! So, move on to detailed review:
Name: Epytian Magic All Purpose Cream
Price: $25-$35 depending on where you buy it from
Where can I buy it?: online or big health food stores
Ingredients (This is the best part!): Olive oil, Beeswax, honey, Pollen, Royal Jelly, and propolis extract
Claims:"...used as an anti aging rejuvenation to maintin radiant, healthy, smooth and glowing skin."
Packaging: It's in a very plain jar. It's simple but a little unsanitary since you have to dig your finger in.
Texture: When you first touch it, it seems like vaseline, but it melts on contact and turns into oil.
Pros:
--Extremely moisturizing. I couldn't stop touching my face in the morning!
--All natural ingredients.
--Even though it's $$ at first, one little 4oz jar will last you a LONG time!
--I can see that my scars had faded quite a bit in the 3 weeks time.
--Works on all skin types. YES, even oily skin!
--It doesn't break me out or clog my pores.
--It evens out my skintone.
Cons:
--The intial cost.
--The stupid jar! Even though this is how they allow you to control the amount you needed.
--When you firt put it on, it's really oily. It takes about 30 minutes to sink in, which is why I recommend to only use this at night. However, your skin will be unbelievably soft afterwards.
My before and after:
Before: The scars are red and very visible.
After: Less visible and red. IDK why I was making that "I see dead ppl" face.
I know the lighting is different. I promise I will take better pics next time.
With makeup...You can barely see them! YAY!!
Let this be our little secret!
Overall, I give this product 4.5 out of 5! High recommend!
Thanks for viewing!
Take care!

WOWOWOWOWOOW
this product seems pretty amazing...i have severe oily skin...will this make me break out even more...orrrr make me more oily in the day...what is your skin type...but i see a vast difference from the 1st pic!...super sweet
im w pink on the oily skin :( but i too have many acne scars argh! oh! and yes when ever you can of course could you possibly add the maybelline age rewind cream foundation to the review list :)
Nice! Seems to be doing its job for you!
wow that seems like good stuff!
I'm so scared of trying new face products cause almost everything seems to break me out :( I'm hoping my current routine will be the best since its very gentle :)
oh and the new MSFs, someone got it earlier and posted it on specktra :) I wish I had them that earlier lol
WOW!!!! i so need ths product for my brown spots!!!
ps: i just discovered your blog and i really love it. listed on my blog roll now. i love all the posts i have read!
Do you use this as moisturizer all over your face? Or just target spots?
Hey, what are the ingredients for this? Can this be used as a night cream?
woah. this is hot stuff!?!?! i wonder if it'll work on my oily skin ?
Thats so weird your doctor won't refer you? This product sounds good but really rich - does it smell strongly of beeswax at all? (like how Burts' Bees lipbalm does)
wow, congrats on finding the product that truly works for you :) and the scars do look lighter in the after photo :)
Interesting. I wanna try it now! I wonder if I can get it in Canada.
girl you are so good with covering scars and i swear you look like you have the world's perfect skin :)
wow... i've never heard of this product before but thanks a lot for the review
apparently, madonna swears by this stuff... and look at her - she doesnt look her age at all!
thanks for the review! looks amazing!
Hi!
Is that China Glaze V you're wearing on your nails?
Hi Tao! Thanks for this review!! I immediately purchased it and can't wait to see results!! <3
Oh awesome! I'm using a bunch of scars right now and I wanna get that to try!! =) Thanks for sharing! Aw you're so cute! You make the funniest faces!!!
oh wow! i cant wait to try it... i've just started reading your blog and appreciate you sharing your experience and review on acne scars. i'm facing the same problem -__-
can you do a review and swatches on the coverblend concealer you use? i really want to try it but the colors on their site are pretty vague... thanks!
Ooh, I want to try it but one quick q first...did this cause any zits?
Awww I am sooooo tempted to go and buy this Tao! But i have combination to oily skin. will this make me even oilier?
sound like a good cream thnk for the review i like ur blog in youtube review.
ANGE, I suppose u have no idea how much plastic surgery Madonna has done!lol
it may not be your pillowcase but your cell phone that is causing the breakouts on one side of your cheek. Certain cellphones contain a metal that irritates the skin. is that the side you talk on??
thanks for the review!
This is supremely late, BUT I also just wanted to point out that visiting a derm. might not necessarily be cheaper. I don't know about your insurance plan, but my health insurance is $40 copay for specialists and something around $10-15 for prescriptions.
So this is still cheaper. The only thing that's holding me back is I'm not sure if it will work successfully on me... =(
Looks very intriguing! Don't use differin, my sister has severe acne and she has tried it. It doesn't work for her =\ She claims it actually dries her skin and breaks her out even more, weird!
wow veryyy good... great coverage!
btw.. im new to your blog.. and i LOVE your blog!!!!!!!
WOW! your skin is amazing! i have many scars and acne. so ive been wanting to use it since you highly recommended. ive searched EVERYWHERE! so can you please send me a sample? i would be much apprecated.

hmm this product looks like vaseline but from your review maybe i should try it. your skin looks amazing! so hydrated and clear! my skin is so dry from acne treatments and nothing works to fade those horrible acne scars. just makeup to hide them. but it sounds oily wont it make my skin break out more? maybe i can try Trader Joe's thats the only store close to my town. but thanks for reviewing it. but for $35 thats a lot do you have any samples?

hey tao! is there any any any any way i can get a sample of this product before i buy it in the stores for that much of the price?
PLEASE LET ME KNOW by commenting back on my page<3
Hey Tao, Thanks for the review. Just wondering, since you posted this initial review, do you still in love with this cream now? I have this really nasty scar on my cheek which I had tried to get rid of using laser treatment once. After the treatment, the scar was faded by some degree. However, before I can get another treatment done, the scar came back with a vengeance. It not only gets bigger and darker also. Looking at your amazing result, I was wondering if I should try it myself, but a bit worry about my combo skin's ability to take this magic balm. one more question, do you notice any effect on shrinking pore sizes? I have pretty noticable pores on the both sides of my nose. I would appreciate if you can give me your extra two cents on this product. Thanks so much.
Can you get it in England? x
Wow this amazing, i have a hard time with my face being oily and i get zits and black heads all the time. And everytime my zits start to go away more comes up and its even worse. I dont know what to do, ive tried a few different things but nothing has changed. I would love ti try this product some time, how might i go about trying it?
Cant you help me out?
Ok, so that stuff is good but what does Jesus and His Mother has to do with it???????? Is there no other words in the mighty English language to express an excitement?! Don`t get me wrong, I am not trying to be rude but it is just getting ridiculous and offensive for Christians.
Hi I recently started blogging and cam across yours when I was trying to read about scar remedies.
Could you please tell me a way to get hold of the sample jar of the EM so I can try it out? I would really appreciate it! I am trying very hard to get rid of my acne scars and would to try this!
Please let me know where I can get a sample size!
Thank you!!
hi, does this product work for keratosis and pock marks? thanks. :)
hey you blog is great...ive been looking ALL OVER for a product like this but not sure if it will work on me as im not the "happy go lucky" person dat many people r, like u! Could i please try some samples first before i get a whole in my wallet?? thank you
oh sorry, can u get back to me on rae93@live.co.uk i would appreciate that soo much thank you x x
Whoaaaa - Easy on the eyeliner there !
Use individually wrapped alcohol squares pads available in a pharmacy by insulin supplies a few times a day on your mobile phone.
Disinfecting your phone will cut down all that acne on your face.
Do you know where i can get a sample of this?
By the way my email is cindytran.91@live.ca if you can please get back to me on this. Thank You!
Hi! I have too many acne scars(much more than yours) and they are very red and very visible. Can this cream cure my problem??
