I use Decleor Balms as a sealant over creams and oils. For dry skin, the best is the Iris Aromatic Balm. I was developing a wrinkle under my right eye but when I apply Shiseido Benefiance Eye Cream (the old version) and then press a teeny amount of the Iris Balm, that wrinkle plus any crows feet literally disappears. It's incredible.

I put my 75 year old Mom on Decleor products about four years ago when she started to get kinda old looking with a turkey neck and wrinkles. Up until then she had firm unlined skin but had started swimming daily outside and the sun and chlorine just aged her. She looks amazing now and attributes it to Decleor (she's also using many other products I've introduced to her but she swears by Decleor).

You have to get the proper balm for your skin type - I wouldn't recommend someone in their 20s using the Iris Balm. The Oils are really potent too - much better than argan, baobob, jojoba, coconut - well I've tried pretty much every oil in every price range. Decleor is the best but can be very pricey.

That's the reason I tried out the Egyptian Magic as some people said it is like Decleor - NO WAY! But EM is still good and highly recommended as a daily slap-on treatment,hahahahaha.

Iherb.com has something called Madre Magic with some of the same ingredients:

• Olive Oil* • Beeswax* • Manuka Honey • Bee Pollen Extract, Royal Jelly & Bee Propolis Extract • Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate (from Olive Oil) $10/2 oz jar

http://www.iherb.com/Madre-Magic-All-Purpose-Skin-Cream-2-oz-56-g/51816


Egyptian Magic:
Olive oil, beeswax, honey, bee pollen, royal jelly and propolis extract.
$37/4 oz jar.

They both have the same consistency in the jar but Madre Magic seems to absorb a bit better and not feel as oily. Neither has a fragrance.

Actually, there has been research on bee pollen, propolis and royal jelly.
http://www.hchs.edu/literature/Bee_%20Pollen-Propolis-and-Royal_Jelly.pdf

And of royal jelly in particular:

" an in vitro study, RJ has promoted the
collagen production of skin fibroblasts in the
presence of ascorbic acid-2-O-α-glucoside (AA-
2G), the increase of the collagen production being induced by 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid
(10H2DA) and 10-hydroxydecanoic acid
(10HDA) in a dose-dependent manner."

http://www.usab-tm.ro/utilizatori/ZOOTEHNIE/file/REVISTA%202011/vol%2044/2/BIOCHIM/Pavel.pdf

Showing it has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antitumor and antioxidant properties.

Plus EM doesnt have any nasty carbomers, PEGs, acrylates, silicones or other manufactured ingredients. I like it.

Yes Sissweets did bring up a good point, I like it as a way to seal the skin around my nose when it's been cold out, to avoid flaky skin there...forgot to mention that. It gives me the same effect as my rosebud salve on those sensitive flaky areas.
