TL;DR
Look for international brands like Maybelline in Senzo Mall or Hurghada Mall — both have sections with non-Egyptian cosmetics; locally made Egyptian cosmetics are generally not worth seeking out.
Travelers asked whether Maybelline-type cosmetics are available in Senzo Mall, and whether Hurghada Mall also carries non-Egyptian cosmetics — both malls reportedly have such sections.
One traveler warned not to blindly trust tips about buying specific masks or cosmetics — better to check the product in a small shop first rather than buying right away at a big store.
Overall consensus: purely Egyptian-made skincare cosmetics are often low quality — fine to try if you come across it by chance, but not worth seeking out on purpose due to the high risk of disappointment.
