About the Brand
Kypris Beauty creates luxurious and high-performance skin care. Their ingredients are wild-harvested, organic and sustainably grown.
Kypris Beauty has a mantra: “Beauty with a Soul Supported with Science”. Kypris offers you the best of science and nature, while also supporting and honoring the communities from which their ingredients come.
Here is a two part Video with the founder of Kypris, Chase Polan.
These two videos are a great introduction into Kypris’ entire line of skin care products. Chase teaches you how to create a micro-emulsion that will transform your skin.
My First Impression of the Product
I received a sample of the Beauty Elixir II and I loved how even the sample came in a dark glass bottle with a tiny glass dropper!
Scent is always the first sense I use with new products, A nice calming scent gets me every time. The Beauty Elixir II smells like a heavenly bouquet.
I noticed how dark this facial oil was, a deep reddish orange. I put it on my face and it absorbed right in, it is nice and light – not too greasy. I absolutely love this stuff, it is amazing.
Scent and Texture
The scent is composed of geranium, jasmine, patchouli and lavender.
Application
The oil goes on well and leaves a dewy glow. Creating a micro-emulsion with the Beauty Elixir II and the Antioxidant Dew is a decadent treat for the skin (watch the video’s above to learn what a micro-emulsion is).
The Antioxidant Dew is a water-based serum, so it penetrates deeply, the Beauty Elixir sits more at the top of the skin.
When you mix the two together to create a micro-emulsion, the Antioxidant Dew pulls the Beauty Elixir deeper, giving you ultimate hydration and delivering all the amazing anti-aging ingredients to where they are needed.

Who is this product for?
It is suitable for all skin types but works especially well for: Combination or inflamed, fussy skin caused by blemishes or environmental over-exposure.
How well does it work?
It works really well. Kypris’ products are formulated with proven ingredients. I love how well this oil soaks into my skin and makes it feel soft and cared for.
The scent is calming and soothing. I feel truly pampered using Kypris’ products.
Final Thoughts
I love using this product, either alone or mixed with the Antioxidant Dew. If I were to just use 2 products for hydration and skin repair, the Antioxidant Dew and the Beauty Elixir would be the ones I would choose.
My only qualm about the Beauty Elixir II is that it contains coconut oil, which is a pore-clogging oil. This may not be the best facial oil for acne prone skin. I liked using it when I was still on Benzoyl Peroxide for my acne, but now that I have ditched BP, I have temporarily given up facial oils.
Kypris’ products would work best for anyone looking to add potent and natural anti-aging products to their skin routine.
The price is high for these top performing products, but they are worth it. A full size bottle will last you months.
Pros:
- penetrates the skin well
- gives a soft glow to the skin
- hydrates and nourishes
- contains potent and proven anti-aging ingredients
- comes in a dark glass bottle with a glass dropper
- scent is a lovely floral bouquet
Cons:
- contains essential oils, which some people might not be able to tolerate, luckily for them, Kypris Beauty has another beauty elixir called Prismatic Array, which contains no essential oils.
- second ingredient is coconut oil, a pore-clogging oil.
My Rating:
I give this product a 9/10. The ingredients are exceptional, the company has values I can feel great about, and the packaging will protect the contents. The only downfall is the coconut oil, it is a high pore-clogging ingredient. Coconut oil is great for the skin, it just isn’t recommended for people who are prone to acne.
The essential oils may not be what people want, and the smell may not be for everybody. Kypris has made a facial oil for those who want to avoid essential oils, it is called Beauty Elixir III : Prismatic Array (bonus, it is cheaper).

*p.s I received these samples for free, but my reviews are always honest. This post contains affiliate links, if you click and buy, I receive a small commission. Thanks for your support.
These reviews are heaven sent! I am on the same boat as you just different kind of acne (cystic). I literally shot Ktpris an email asking the same question, whether I could use their products over my benzoyl peroxide, and got a quick and very detailed answer saying that I should do the patch test. They also recommended me their beauty Elixir III. I am so glad I bumped into these reviews cuz that gives me the little push I needed to do the patch test over my benzoyl layer. I have used the moonlight catalyst, the elixir I, and the clearing serum mixed with a bit of moisturizer for 3 days and I have already noticed a difference in my face. My skin looks glowy! That is until my natural oils break through haha. Again thank you for these posts!
Hugs,
Angie
