Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream review

I have used this product and would recommend it to anyone. I have even used it on my cat when he got into a fight and it actually worked well and healed him up pretty quick. A great item to have in your handbag as you never know when you might need it. I have it in mine and have used it on my daughter for minor abrasions. It is also one of the creams I find that last for a good while as you don't need too much each time.

I know people swear by this but for me the taste and smell really put me off this product as they are not pleasant. It is very effective on dry lips and skin irritations but I only use it when I have to as it isn't my favourite and I think there are other more natural and nicer smelling products that have a similar effect such as paw paw ointment. This is also very expensive and although it lasts a long time as you only use a small amount at a tip this is also true for paw paw ointment which is a fraction of the price. Will not be repurchasing this.

There are so many uses for this product and I'd be lost without it! It's a bit pricey but it's totally worth it in my opinion, I like to use it as a lip balm before bed and when I wake up my lips are super smooth and ready for lipstick.

I've always had a problem with mosquitos attacking me during the night and i wake up with billions of itchy bites that I can never not itch. But when I discovered this magic stuff, I applied it and didn't feel the need to itch again. It was amazing and they healed super fast too.

It's also great if you have a cold and are always blowing your nose, because for me, that area gets so dry and sore and this cream fixes it right up.

This is also good for minor burns and since I live in a house full of boys, this definitely comes in handy.

This is a miracle in a tube, the only downside is the smell. But I can totally get over that when I see its results

This product has been around for years, I remember my Grandmother using it and I am 44, I love it, I think it may have been reformulated I am not sure, but its still as good as ever. Highly recommend as a go to cream when you need an extra boost of moisture and soothing. Well worth the investment and you don't need to use much, last a long time. don't let your teens or kids get their hands on it and it will last.

My grandmother used it, my mum uses it and now I can't live without it. I use it on my lips at night and any leftover I moisturise into my cuticles. The smell isn't too pleasant but you get used to it. I wouldn't use it during the day as it doesn't contain any SPF.

I was a bit hesitant about using this because I feel like sometimes people over-hype products, but this cream was amazing!! I recently travelled to Fiji and because of the change of weather my lips became really dry and skin began to peel - I used this over 8 days and I came back home looking like I just had a facial. Would highly recommend it for anyone who has sensitive skin like I do.

This is such a popular product but for me, it just didn’t live up to the hype. I found the consistency very sticky - it was as lip balm, but I couldn’t use it for anything else. It has a very distinctive smell which I’m not a massive fan of.

I loooooove my eight hour cream and I couldn't get by without it anymore! I love how it has different purposes and can be used in so many different ways! I mostly use it on my chapped lips, but have also been using it under my nose when I've been sick or have terrible allergies. The only thing I don't like about this product is the smell, but I can deal with that since I love the product itself so much!

Eight hour cream has a promising name really; I envisaged it making every day feel like a Friday and fast forwarding through the eight hours of work so I could get to the good bits after 5.00pm but this is a close second.

This probably wouldn’t have been a product I would normally buy; with a RRP of $35.00 it is quite pricey. But a little blob of it goes a long way

The packaging is clean and simple and easily identifies itself

Upon opening the first thing I noticed was the fragrance which isn’t the most pleasant of smells; it has a peppery odour to it that tends to linger. This being said I didn’t like it as a lip conditioner.

The cream is thick and almost heavy feeling, a touch greasy on initial contact which was a little off putting for me. It is pale orange in colour.

It does however rub in well and leaves skin feeling refreshed and revitalised.

I used it for a few days and definitely noticed a difference on the areas that I tested.

After it has soaked in my skin does feel softer. I used it on my hands and cuticles as I am a chronic cuticle chewer (yuck I know), it pretty much instantly soothed the cuticles and a bonus was they didn’t smell that nice so I wasn’t tempted to put them near my mouth!

Also I applied it to my cracked heels to which I noticed a considerable softness within a day of the first application and believe me it has been a long road finding a cracked heel cream that lives up to expectations. I used it on a scaly scarred area on my arm which is usually very dry and it soothed that and has hydrated it well.

I used it as a brow gel and it made it easy to define my arches and I would use it again for this.

I believe the hydration does last most of the day and gives better moisturising than many other products that are on the market. Having used this product I would recommend it to others and would likely purchase again in the future.

This cream is magic in a tube. It is an extremely versatile product and I used it for dry chapped lips, dry heels, face moisturiser and a hand cream. It did wonders for my dry, sensitive skin leaving it feeling very soft and moisturized for the whole day.

Consistency: This is an extremely this balmy textured cream.

Application: It is easily applied. Just apply a small amount to the area requires and gently rub in.

Fragrance: This cream does have a strong fragrance which did bother me at first but I soon adjusted and got used to it. If strong fragrances bother you this product is also available in a fragrance free variety.

Coverage/Usage: Only a small amount of this cream is required for deep and thorough moisturisation. One 50 ml tube of this cream will last ages as you don't need to apply it as often as other moisturisers because it actually works.

Longevity: This definitely lasts the 8 hours it claims to. I only apply this once a day at night before bed and it is still doing its thing in the morning.

Price: I used to use paw paw ointment on my lips, heels and any other dry areas and I used a lot more product than I do with this cream. I think this product is reasonably priced at $35 a tube. It think this product will be replacing my paw paw because the amount I use of the 8 hour cream it works out cheaper.

Packaging: The packaging is nice and simple with the nice red and white design. The packaging is also functional and the lid is easy to put on and off.

This product is recommended for shaping eyebrows but I found it too shiny for this purpose.

I would definitely recommend this to others, it will replace several of your other products such as: lip balm, heel balm, hand cream, facial moisturiser etc.
