Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream review

I was introduced to this product via a wee free sample potter from Farmers and have been in love ever since. The first night I applied a small amount to a few very small pimples on my forehead and the next morning they were gone!!!

The packaging is a durable tube with plastic top - has never broken or punctured in my experience. Good size for hand bag or makeup bag. The tube makes it easy to get out every last drop.

The product itself is an unusual texture, like a tacky Vaseline. It has a nice scent and rubs in easily. A little goes a long way.

You can use tgis product for anything - acne, dry lips, dry skin, cuts, scrapes. When used under make up gives a great dewy look.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

I was introduced to this product about 6 years ago, and i am still using it to this day. (new ones of course) It really works wonders and you can use it on practically anything thats feeling dry and needs a pick me up. Even got my partner to use it for his lips in winter :)

I've been using EA 8 Hour cream since high school, it is great for patches of dry skin! It works to heavily moisturise anything, from your face to your lips. However, it has quite a shiny, almost glossy finish to it, and so if you apply it to your face, it will make it look shiny. it has a bit of a lipgloss consistency to it too, so it does also feel a bit heavy and sticky. but it definitely does it's job!

This is my HG! the best best best lip balm!

I use this every night before bed, i honestly cant use anything else.

The smell is one thing that can put people off, at first it was a bit of a shock for something like this to smell so strange, a weird... almost medical smell to it, but i actually don't mind it now For some reason i find the unscented version not as effective

I primarily use it for my lips, but the last cold i had i formed a dry flakey nose and this was amazing for that too.

Ive had a decent sized pot of it (one of the limited edition jars they do every year), i've barely made a dent and its a few years old!

This is a product I can never be without. It has been around for as long as I can remember, which is a good sign of a tried and true product, not here today gone tomorrow like a lot of things. This little miracle tube is like your beauty kit/first aid product in one. Its a wonderful healing balm, fantastic for sore chapped lips, dry patches, grazes, to smoothing untamed eyebrows, a lip gloss over your favorite shade of lipstick and a moisturizing treatment for dry hands, feet elbows and so on. Its packaging is simple, and it does smell a bit unusual compared to some products, but that can all be forgiven for a formula that has stood the test of time. Every home, hand bag, glove box and first aid kit should have this little tube of liquid gold in stock. Recommended to everyone!
