Kaley Cuoco — of Big Bang Theory fame — has been known to call herself an Amazon "stan," so we're guessing she's pretty busy this week, what with the absolute bevy of Prime Day deals happening through Friday. One surprisingly affordable item that's almost certainly on her list? Egyptian Magic All Purpose Skin Cream. While Cuoco has access to all the concoctions celebrities use for eternal youth, she surprised us with this multi-tasking ointment that doesn't cost a pretty, er, Penny. Right now, you can get a tub of it on sale at Amazon for just $26.
This healing balm contains olive oil, beeswax, honey, bee pollen, royal jelly and bee propolis.
Why is it a good deal? 💰
This cream only goes on sale a few times a year. If you've been looking to try this cult-favorite, all-purpose skin care cream, now is the time to drop it into your cart.
Why do I need this? 🧐
Kaley discovered this magical salve on set and notes she soon "fell in love with it."
"My makeup artist on The Flight Attendant started using it on me as a barrier cream," she told New York Magazine. "I ended up ordering a ton. I apply it absolutely everywhere: my hands, lips, neck, elbows, face. Because it’s allergy season now, I’ve actually been putting it in my nose, too. I use it if I have any sort of chafing or irritation. It can really, truly go anywhere."
The ingredients sound like a beehive in a tub: beeswax, honey, bee pollen, royal jelly, bee propolis and olive oil. We get loads of good things from bees — honey is known to have antimicrobial properties, and royal jelly from queen bees is packed with nourishing nutrients. It's very good for needy, sensitive skin.

What reviewers say 💬
Nearly 8,500 Amazon shoppers are keen on this cream too.
Pros 👍
"I have very dry heels, I have tried everything, and nothing has worked," a five-star fan shared. "The heels are so dry that they become uncomfortable, at night the burning and discomfort disturb my sleep. The first night I used this, I slept like a baby. I have been using it consistently for the last two weeks and for the first time in 5 years, the skin is healing."
"Had a bit of dermatitis on my eyelids, and a client recommended this to me, it was fine after using it for six days!" shared an excited shopper. "I had been trying every doctor-recommended cream for 10 months prior! Absolutely obsessed with this product!"
"I have been having some serious issues with acne for the past several months I usually use a regimen but everything I normally used wasn’t helping," reported another rave reviewer. "I apply this at night before bed on a clean face, and my skin has transformed in the last week — it’s absolutely remarkable. I know not everyone has the same results, but I have sensitive acne-prone skin with enlarged pores, and it’s like night and day."
Cons 👎
Some shoppers say it might not be the best cream for people with sensitive noses.
"Been using it for almost a month and I love it!" wrote one shopper. "I use it on my face, neck and also started using it on my feet since they get dry during the summer months. It sure is working wonders! Definitely recommend. Only gripe I have is the smell — not terrible but not nice either."
"I have some eczema patches on my face, and when I put this stuff on it, it clears it up, moisturizes the area, and all without causing any type of acne from the oil," another shopper shared. "Be aware that it is unscented and therefore doesn't smell that great; not bad, just not great."
This versatile cream can be used to heal dry skin, treat minor cuts, improve the look of scars or even as an ultra-hydrating makeup remover.
