Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream review

I have been using this cream ointment on my hands for the last 5 days. My hands are very dry from detergents and hand soaps that don't moisturise. I have applied it every time after I wash the dishes and wash my hands and just when they have been feeling dry and I can say that this ointment/balm has helped them but I do have to keep re applying it through out the day.

I think i have a tube of this in every bag I use! I use it for lips (although they need a lip friendly applicator!), itchy bites, chafe, sun burn .. have given a friend some to use on her nipples after b/feeding. I find it doesn't last 8 hours at all but none the less where I put it feels great.

My mum got me onto this product a few years ago, she uses it religiously, and I have to say its is pretty amazing. I used to love putting it on all the dry patches that I had before jumping into bed ( esp lip) it just works like magic. As I am a poor student now, I don't have any at the moment, but when I go home, I still sneek a bit of mums stash. The smell takes some getting used to, as its odd. but for something that good, yah get over it.

I do honestly believe it is worth investing in this product as it has many uses. I really does do what it says it does, healing sores, perhaps not always in eight hours but still in good time. It also lasts a long time as you can use it sparingly and still get good results.

i was bought this for Christmas last year from a friend as i had been in hosp and my skin was pretty bad.. i used Elizabeth Arden face wash and then used this cream my face was red and raised irritated alot.. but after a week of this my face is clear and smooth and no irritation.. i use it twice a week now to keep my face feeling fresh

It works like magic. I suffer from terribly dry hands and with constant hand washing it strips the oils but I put this on overnight and it was instant results. I couldn't believe that this could help my dry flaking hands and I have super sensitive skin and it worked perfectly with no bad results

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.

I have used this cult classic cream for years and it really is wonderful. Although $35 can seem quite pricey, a little goes a very long way and the rather large tube will last a long time.

The packaging is very sleek, and its tube design allows for minimal product wastage and control over the amount of product. I generally don't leave the house without a tube in my bag.

The cream is very thick, slightly greasy at first touch but the greasiness tends to absorb quite quickly. The apricot colour makes for a lovely lip tint with a glossy finish.

My only complaint with this is the smell. I really dislike it but haven't found a product that does even half as good a job. I am aware Elizabeth Arden have released a Fragrance free version so will be trying that next time.

Overall, I love this product. It's so multi purpose and really works well. Definitely worth the money and overcoming the scent!

I love this cream! The very first time I tried it was when I was about 15 and had a huge burn on my hand so my nana put the Eight Hour cream on it - needless to say I've been using it for everything since. I find it most useful during the winter when I get quite bad windburn on my lips. I've also recently started using it on my eczema. If applied when I'm about to go to bed I wake and find that my skin has healed overnight. It is an expensive product but you get a decent amount and a tube easily lasts me a year so I believe that it's worth it.

The biggest con for me is the smell, it's not very nice at all. But all the benefits of using the cream definitely outweigh this :)
