Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream review

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 :)

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.

The eight hour cream is fantastic for healing dry skin or lips. It works almost overnight for me if i have dry patches. It smells nice and smoothes onto the skin easily.

My main problem with eight hour cream is the price! It seems really expensive to me for a product that is mainly petroleum. A little does go a long way though.

I've been using this since I was very young . As a lip gloss, for fly aways,eyebrows and as a barrier cream for my son

This stuff has always been used in my family. It does what it says it does, its a magic cream and a tube lasts for AGES! The only thing i don't like is the smell, its nostalgic but also kind of makes me ill. I recently purchased the fragrance free version but it still had the distinctive EOC smell which if you can ignore the scent then the benefits of this are worth every penny! Also the lip balm version of this is amazing and I have one for every room of the house

I love this product and i've only recently become a convert. I wondered what all the raving about how great it was in the magazines was about until I tried it on my hideously dry and cracked heels . Overnight (hence I guess the 8 hour bit) they were transformed! I think this product is an awesome spot treatment product for lips, hands, feet but not an overall face moisturiser as such.

Having only heard about the cream and not actually seen it I really wasn't sure how to use it at first... the instructions suggested to smooth eyebrows and apply to hands. I tried my eyebrows, but to be honest just made them feel greasy and look shiny against my makeup so didn't do that again. Used it on my hands and it was quite nice... again, my hands ended up quite greasy so not ideal if you need to do things but just before bed would be perfect. I did also try it on my dry and cracked heels before bed and it was fantastic... I have been applying it every night in combination with pumice in the shower and it is working a treat!
