Eight Hour Cream

I bought this years ago when the Elizabeth Hurley collaboration with limited edition packaging came out. Everyone raved about it, including my mother and she convinced me to buy it. It was pricey, but worth it. It's a very versatile, and to quote them "miracle" product which lasted me quite a couple of years. I used it as moisturiser and lip balm and on general dry patches, bumps and bruises. The colour and smell did put me off a little, but it was something I could live with. I didn't repurchase as I didn't really feel the need to, but I might invest in one again.

Multi Purpose

I brought this a few months ago as I had heard rave reviews and I have had the worst dry lips over winter. It was quite pricey but I thought it was at least worth a shot. I found it great. It helped my lips within days. I have also found it really good to put on dry areas like knees an elbows when needed. It is quite a thick texture but rubs in well. The smells not too great but its easy to deal with. Anyone suffering from dry patches would love this

Tips: I put it on my lips when I go to bed and always wake up with soft hydrated lips

A good all rounder

This has been one of my go to creams for years an amazing multie purpose cream. Packaging is simple, understated even. A very light weight soft apricot colour balm. Smells of oil and lanolin to me it's not a pleasant scent. This is used for everything from cracked lips to sticking flyaway hairs down, it leaves a we shine and the balm softens up with the heat of your body, I found it absorbs quite readily but does leave an oily residue that I just whipe off. I have used this for years especially on my fingers when I get infected chillblanes right down to the cracks on my feet. This is the one thing I make sure I take when I'm travelling it's great on the plane for dehydrated skin and dry lips even bug bites. I have used this on sunburn as well and like Elizabeth Arden herself I used it on my horses and my leather boots. A awesome all rounder. Well worth the money.

A Good Product.

This is one of those products I had heard about for years but never purchased. I was generously gifted this, which excited me as I never would have purchased it.

Firstly, you get a heap of product in this. I have been using this weekly for about 2 months and there is still heaps left. Because the product is so rich, you barely need any - so this will last a long time.

One thing I dislike is the scent - it is a weird kind of herbal smell which I honestly don't like. This doesn't put me off of using it though.

As in the description, you can use this for almost anything. I like to use it on my chapped feet and elbows, as a lip balm, a raw nose when I get the flu - basically anything.

The product is a kind of thick gel texture which blends easily into the skin. It does leave the feeling of an oily residue, so bear that in mind of you go to use this.

I do really like this but I wouldn't pay $35 for it... I feel that Lucas' Paw Paw Ointment does the same thing (without the nasty scent), and it is a lot more affordable.

If you're a fan of the brand you might like to check this out, as it is a decent product - just not one I would purchase when there are more affordable products around that are very similar.

My all time favourite

If I had to only ever have one product in my life, Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream would be the one. I have always had at least one tube of Eight Hour Cream somewhere in the house, handbag and First Aid Kit. My kids have grown up thinking everyone has this in their first aid kit. It is great for chafing, sunburn, dry cracked skin, small grazes, eczema, split ends, eyebrows, skin conditioner, softening skin, great on elbows, knees and gardeners hands, we even use it on our dogs when they have scrapes etc. A tube taken on holiday is like having a medical kit with you - it really is a wonder product and deserves it longevity and status in the marketplace. I love the smell and feel on the skin, it is even pleasing to the males in the household, who have no qualms using it. A tube lasts for ages and never loses potency or deteriorates in consistency or smell, so is really good value for money.

Tips: You can really use it for any purpose, however be smart as it is not for internal use and I also wouldn't keep using it on wounds that do not heal within a day or so - they probably require medical advice.

Will always have this around.

My mum used to always have this when I was little, and I used to steal it when my lips got dry. Actually, things haven't changed that much, the new tube I have came from her too! It is brilliant to have for when my lips decide to do their weird get rid of any moisture possible trick. I also find myself reaching for it for the kids itchy bites, grazes etc. It has a really thick formula, so you only need the tiniest amount (so a tube will literally last forever - actually better check the expiry!). It has an interesting scent, I can see it would take a bit of getting used to it, if you didn't grow up with it like I did (lol). It's just a brilliant all-rounder cream to have on hand.

8 hour cream

Mum had used this product for years and would always tell me to use it if my lips were dry, it can be also used for many other skin problems. It does smell a bit funny but it doesn't bother me that much, possibly a signature smell? I have purchased my own, it does go along way as you don't need much product. This is a pricey product but would repurchase. I also have the lipstick version and that js great too.

handbag essential

I absolutely love this product. I first was introduced to eight hour cream when my step mother was using it to treat dry skin on one of our horses. Since then I have been hooked, it's always in my handbag. Great for dry skin, and other skin problems as well as an awesome lip balm.

Tips: Try the lip version lasts for ever in a lip stick styled package

8 Hour Cream

I used a sample of this before I went on the Tongariro crossing a month or so ago and it was amazing! Pouring rain, gale force wind and strong sun and my lips were soft and supple still after our 8 hr adventure! I like that its like an ointment and felt very soothing as well as protective. Only thing I didn't like was that it tasted a bit iffy so I'd reccomend eating and drinking before you put it on :p
