This is a miracle cream that I use for soooo much! But I must admit, I need to use the unfragranced version because the normal one smells a bit funny too me. This works amazing for dry, chapped lips and also for chilblains or windburn :) a must have for every handbag!!

Reviews
I absolutely love this product and I could rave about it all day! I was introduced to this product over ten years ago when I started working in Pharmacy and was always complaining about dry lips from the air conditioning.
Over time I have used this product for all sorts of things from a dry end of your nose when you have a cold, dry patches on my skin, sunburn, ghd burns on my ear and even on my hands and cuticles.
I found that it was best to keep the tube at home and take a small pot of it around in my hand bag to use as a lip balm and for emergency type purposes like burns and tiny scrapes.
The smell is something that you will definitely love or hate. If you are not a huge fan of it them try the fragrance free option.
Tips: If you don't want to carry the tube around in your hand bag - ask your local Pharmacy if they have a smaller container that you can buy. I find the little containers that they put foundation or cream samples in very handy.
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.
Tips: Another product gentle enough for kids
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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
This is something that should ALWAYS be in your handbag. I have sensitive skin and can get away with using it pretty much on anything - in a pinch it's served as lip balm (obviously), eye cream, face treatment, eczema cream, sunburn relief, hand cream ... a tube lasts for ages, and it doesn't need to be reapplied often.
Tips: Use it for anything. Lips, eyes, mask, itches ... a little goes a long way! If you aren't a fan of the mild scent there's a fragrance free option now.
