Abyssine Cream |
 |
Introduction & Overview |
Abyssine Cream is a skincare product marketed by the well-known company, Kiehl’s, which sells a number of lotions, cleansers and creams meant to address a variety of functions. This product is said to diminish the effects of aging on the skin, and reveal a younger, youthful looking glow. This cream is also said to improve skin texture, resiliency and clarity, as well as minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
We find this cream shares many of the same attributes as other anti-aging products. There is a plethora of lotions and creams on the market, and many are promoted to perform the same function. Unfortunately, this may be a confusing process for many people, since some of the products are ineffective. We believe that educated individuals may find this decision process easier to make, which is why we will aid in this procedure by examining this product and concluding if it may be effective and safe to use.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
The complete formula for this product is available for viewing on the company website and the product label. This cream contains a high amount of ingredients, and we have to wonder if this high content may hinder its overall potency. Some people may feel a product with fewer, more concentrated ingredients will be more effective.

| Ingredients in Focus |
This formula contains several purported moisturizers. Properly hydrated skin may enhance its radiance and create a glow, which may make the skin look younger. Dry skin is said to accentuate wrinkles, so hydration may slightly decrease the appearance of lines and creases. Though, this may not create prolonged results, and is ultimately just addressing the surface of the skin, and not penetrating down to the dermis.
We believe that creams may improve the appearance of skin and reduce lines and wrinkles. Collagen-based ingredients may aid this process. Collagen is the most abundant amino acid in the skin, and is responsible for its firmness. As people age, Collagen levels decline, and wrinkles occur. A cream that penetrates the top dermal level may reduce wrinkles by plumping facial skin. Though, it does not appear that Abyssine Cream provides a source of Collagen.

| Website |
There is no Abyssine Cream product website, but it is featured on the Kiehl’s website. This site provides important information, such as posting the complete ingredient list, and posts a detailed product description. Though, it would have been appreciated if the company also took the time to display cited research and testimonials to indicate that the cream is both safe and effective to use.
Also, the website provides a list of “related products” that Kiehl’s produces that may also work well with Abyssine Cream. Though, it is often preferable when an anti-aging product works effectively on its own in order to maximize convenience and minimize cost.

| Final Thoughts |
This product may be very attractive to fans of Kiehl’s products. The brand is very well known for its skin and hair care products. Abyssine Cream may be purchased in various department stores and on the Kiehl’s website. Currently, a 1.7oz jar sells for about $40.
Though, we believe it takes more than a well known name to create an effective anti-aging cream. Based on the contained ingredients, we feel this product may moisturize and hydrate the skin, but a product that contains a patented Collagen stimulator may be better equipped to reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles. Fortunately, such an advanced formula is available online from reputable manufacturers that also provide a complete money-back guarantee.
