This felt like I was putting Vaseline on my face and it had a very artificial smell. I read the ingredients; Petroleum 56.8%, Lanolin, Mineral Oil, Fragrance, Salicylic Acid, Propyparaben, Castor Oil, Corn Oil, Tocopherol, BHT, Iron Oxides. Petroleum is a by product of oil drilling and no one should ever put this rubbish on their face (or their babies bottoms)

Sticky and icky
This stuff has such a cult following, I expected it to be amazing, but it was like really thick, orange coloured vaseline...really really thick, like the tackiest lip gloss ever. I'm not sure how people use it on their hands, it felt like my lips were being glued together. I ended up giving it to my Mum and haven't heard a word about it since.
Tips: Err...no?

Basically It's Vaseline
The active ingredient in Eight Hour cream is Petrolatum ( Petroleum) . This product is over priced Vaseline, which is known not to really be the greatest thing for your skin.
It works by sealing the skin from the enviroment. While this can be useful occasionally, if this is done regularly ( say if you were using Eight hour cream as you daily lip balm) then it is going to be detrimental. The skin is unable to breath and absorb moister from the air, and gets out of the habbit of doing so. You then become dependent on using the product all the time. You are better off using a balm that helps the skin to heal and function normally.
Tips: Use some thing else - Like the trilogy everything balm

I would only use this as a lip moisturiser myself as it's far too oily/tacky for my face although I'm a little on the fence even with that as I'm not that keen on the ingredients. I know many people love this but I'm not one of them,it's greasy and would be perfect for those with dry skin but not my cup of tea.
