Abib Jericho Rose Creme Nutrition Tube 75ml: The Resurrection Plant Moisturizer That Actually Earns the Name

Jericho rose (Selaginella lepidophylla, also called rose of Jericho) is the desert resurrection plant that can survive almost complete dehydration and rehydrate when water returns. Abib uses this biological quirk as the central story of the Jericho Rose Creme: a nutrition-focused moisturizer built around Selaginella extract alongside panthenol, shea butter, and a supporting cast of barrier oils. The 75ml tube is the everyday format; Abib also sells a larger jar for bathroom use.

This cream sits in the "rich but not heavy" zone. It's not a dewy water cream, and it's not an ointment-style repair cream. It's a balanced nutrition cream designed for dry, stressed, winter-damaged skin that needs actual lipids but also needs to wear under SPF or makeup. At $39.52 for 75ml, it's reasonably priced for the category, undercutting Korean luxury nutrition creams like Sulwhasoo's Hanbang options while leaning into a more modern, botanical formulation.

What It Does

Jericho rose extract is rich in trehalose and polysaccharides, which bind water and support skin's self-hydration under stress. Shea butter and plant oils restore occluded lipids to the barrier. Panthenol (vitamin B5) supports repair and reduces sensitivity. The result is a cream that rehydrates visibly dehydrated skin, softens rough patches, and cushions redness without feeling greasy on normal-dry faces.

Who It's For

• Dry to very dry skin: The core target, especially in winter.
• Dehydrated skin on oily faces: Light enough to use in small amounts without greasy finish.
• Barrier-compromised skin: After retinol flares, over-exfoliation, or harsh weather.
• Mature skin wanting botanical nutrition: Alternative to heavy Hanbang creams.
• Travel and layering: Tube format doesn't spill, easier to carry than the jar.

How to Use

After toner and serum, dispense a pea-sized amount onto fingertips. Warm between hands, then press and pat into face and neck. Finish by pressing palms into cheeks and forehead for 10 seconds to encourage absorption. Use twice daily. For extra-dry skin, layer this over a hydrating essence while skin is still slightly damp; the water content helps the cream spread further and absorb faster.

FAQ

Is this greasy?

No. The finish is closer to a satin cushion than a balm. It's richer than a water cream, but it absorbs in 60 to 90 seconds and doesn't leave a film that interferes with makeup.

Will this clog pores?

Formulation includes shea butter, which is low on most comedogenic lists but can be an issue for very acne-prone skin. For oily and breakout-prone users, start with a small amount 3 to 4 nights per week rather than daily. Normal to dry skin should have no issues.

How long does 75ml last?

Twice-daily use: 2.5 to 3 months. Once-daily use as PM cream only: 5 to 6 months. The tube dispenser is efficient, less waste than a jar.

Tube vs jar version?

Same formula. Tube is more hygienic (no fingers dipping into product) and travels better. Jar is larger and often more economical per ml. For home use both work; for purse or travel, the tube wins.

Can I use this with retinol?

Yes. Apply retinol first, let absorb 5 minutes, then layer this cream as the sealing step. The barrier-supporting ingredients actually help buffer retinol's initial irritation phase. Good pairing for users starting retinol.
