Abyssine, a naturally derived survival molecule which thrives under the extreme conditions in hydrothermal ocean vents where magma and seawater mix.

A-prih-kaht KUR-nuhl OY-il

Apricot Kernel Oil is extracted from apricot kernels and has a very high Vitamin E content (aiding fast absorption) and is a trygliceride composed of 75% oleic acid and 20% linoleic acid, and unsaturated fatty acids esterified with glycerin - similar to avocado oil and sesame oil. Found to be highly compatible with the skin. Apricot Kernel Oil moisturizes and softens skin while helping retain clarity and suppleness.

This "vegetal coral" is an unusual, mineral-rich red algae with the unusual ability to produce a gel which forms a self-defensive, calcified shell from minerals found in sea water. It has been shown to thicken the stratum corneum layer of skin and to help reinforce the moisture barrier function of the skin.

Apply evenly to clean skin in the morning and/or night.
This skin-age deterrent is made with naturally-derived ingredients and is formulated to help reduce the signs of aging and help skin protect itself from external damage. Abyssine, a survival molecule which thrives under the extreme conditions in hydrothermal ocean vents, helps soothe and protect skin. Combined with Corallina Extract, sourced from a mineral-rich red algae with self-defensive properties, our formula helps minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while defending skin from free radical damage with antioxidants

Question How do I use this product in conjunction with the Ultra Facial Cream?

  • Answer I use abyssine cream at night and ultra facial in the morning. by Shelby S 05/17/12
  • Answer I use abyssine cream at night by itself. Sometimes if I have been out in the wind or sun or in a dry place, I use it in the morning and put the ultra facial cream with SPF 15 on top. This seems to be a good combination in moisturizing and also gives a clear look to my skin. I have been using the ultra facial cream for 16 years and abyssine cream for about 5 years. I am 66. by Kathryn H 05/17/12

Question I have a very sensitive skin and easily break out, can I use this Abyssine cream?

  • Answer I have a sensitive skin too! This cream works like magic. by Seung Hee L 05/07/12
  • Answer Hi, I also have sensitive skin and the Abyssine doesn't sting it irritate my skin. I do not have oily skin, but it has not caused me to break out. It isn't greasy and absorbs inti the skin immedietly. by carrie e 05/03/12
  • Answer My skin is sensitive only in that I tend towards rosacea but not breakouts. Since I started using this cream a few weeks ago, my skin looks younger and more even toned. I am 79!! I love the way my skin feels now. Definitely a keeper. I use one with sunscreen every day as well the plain one at night. by Betty S 05/03/12
  • Answer Hi Tammy, My skin is very sensitive to skin products and I have had no trouble at all using this cream. I hope this works for you. by Debbie G 05/03/12

Question I tried a sample of this cream with spf, and I literally... you guys have NO idea it might have changed my life... Is this the same in terms of consistency? I feel like minus the spf it'd be a little more versatile (day or night)

  • Answer Seems to me the creams are almost identical. That's something Kiehl's does so well--sneaks in the SPF without changing the product. I really love the cream, but I've been using the Abyssine Lotion (SPF 15) for awhile. It lasts longer for me. I use it for daytime and Rosa Arctica for nighttime. (The Rosa Arctica takes care of my need for luscious cream.) If you don't need the SPF, I'd just get the one without. SPF is a great bonus in such a terrific cream, though, if you DO need one. Just FYI, the Abyssine Lotion is truly more of a lotion than a cream. Not as luxurious, but I don't use as much and just re-apply it as I need to during the day. So if you really love the cream, stick with that! by Janet G 04/28/12

  • Answer I like it better without the SPF. It absorbs better and has no residual stickiness. I love this cream and can't live without it. I only use it without SPF. by Ann C 04/27/12
  • Answer It has the same consistency and is a wonderful cream. I would recommend it to anyone. You can still use this cream, at night, even with the spf. I know I do. by Alice S 04/27/12

Question Hi, I'm 39 years, is this cream, good for me? Ana Teresa

  • Answer Hi, I love Abyssine Cream. It has wonderful creamy texture, and I notice that I have less wrinkles since I've been using it. I am older than you and would highly reccomend Abyssine Cream. Thanks, Meenakshi by Meenakshi K 04/07/12
  • Answer I recommend this cream to any one over 30. I have been using this cream since 2005 and absolutely love it. I wear contacts and it does not creep. It is light going on and staying, but very powerful. You see the results in your skin rather quickly. I would not be with out this cream for anything. I am currently running out of my "stock" and getting ready to replenish. I usually buy 2-3 at a time. You will not be sorry. I also recommend the eye cream and the serum of the same line. I have tried their marine line, but I have not been as happy. The Abyssine line is phenomenal, by the way I am 60 years old and when I go to have my facials done, they usually tell me my skin is that of a 30 to 40 year old. I have elasticity, smoothness and even tone. I love It! by Roxana H 04/06/12
  • Answer Yes! I'm 37. Love this cream, makes my skin so soft and looking great. by Andrea R 04/06/12

Question using fece or eyes?

Why did you choose this product?

Makes my skin seem healthier - firmer, reduces lines, and moisturizes.

My friend strongly suggest this one

Loved the reviews

Hope it works well!!

I purchased this in store about 8 weeks ago and absolutely love it. It's a l

Saw this in a magazine add. Good reviews. Been looking for a good product. Price was affordable.

used to use it and liked it

First time

Had seen this product mentioned in a couple of different places so tried & loved it. Purchasing this one as a gift for my sister.

Have been using it and like it

I read on your website, that this could help smooth out wrinkles, and give skin a healthy glow.

This is my favorite night cream and needed a travel size! This product hydrates and makes my skin noticeably younger.

used at least 3 bottles, make my face skin peaceful

I've noticed that others have purchased this product and I thought I'd give it a try. I'm a first time customer and am trying four items.

I've repurchased this cream several times and while I don't have any wrinkles yet I can feel a difference in my skin almost immediately when I start using this.

I love this stuff! I started using it about 4 months ago to combat my first signs of aging. I have noticed a tremendous improvement in skin tone and firmness.

I have never used this but thought I would try it because it was listed as a favorite on the website

FOR MOTHER'S DAY GIFT

good reviews

my mom likes it

I heard from my friend about this product.

Product has very good reveiws.First time buyer so i try it and see if it helps

a good friend uses the products and has great success with improved skin and complexion. Also, i have open pores and which i thought this product would help to address. I am also concerned about aging and this product states to have anti aging elements to it. I am very excited to see how this product will help my skin!!!!

would like to try it since reviews were very good.

I have used abyssine cream for years, nothing works better to keep my skin soft. Love it!

Heard it produces great results!

It works great on reducing my crows feet at night. It works great with the Midnight Recovery Concentrate, well at least on my face.

I have used this pretty consistently over the past 5 years. I just turned 40 and constantly get comments from people saying my skin doesn't show my age. I have tried other (more expensive) creams, and they made my skin dull or dry. I live in a northern climate, and this cream is the only one I have found that combats winter skin, and does it beautifully!

used in past and it worked

I liked the one with sunscreen and wanted to use it without for a night cream

As a first time buyer I choose this product based on the Kiehl;s name and reputation and also after reading the great reviews!

Nothing else works as well. It's not really moisturizing enough - so I have to use more (I just bought this 2 weeks ago at Halls on The Plaza) but it really does lift skin.

very mousterizing for dry skin without being sticky.

I have been using this product for years because I love how it feels on my skin.

this cream seriously makes your skin feel incredible in the morning. Its still moisturized & your face is so soft. Its so worth it! I always invest in long-term natural beauty

I received a sample of the eye cream and I hope it does for my face what it does for my undereye area.

Good reviews, looking for a new cream
