Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream review

I’ve been using this product for my lips and I 100% recommend. My lips when from being dryer than the Sahara and cracked due to what I presume to be the weather changing to being hydrated again! Only downfall was the smell

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

After hearing great things about this 'Miracle' cream I decided to give it a go. Upon trying it the consistancy was nothing like I imagined it to be, it is more of a thick balm (similar to PAWPAW ointment) with a very distinctive smell which I have to say I am not a fan of. A little dissapointing as I love the smell of the Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Hand Cream! I have used it on burns and dry skin and it has soothed the areas well. Not a fan of using it as a lip balm due to the strong smell. I didn't love this product as much as I thought I would unfortunately - perhaps I might feel differently using the Fragrance Free version!

This is such a popular product but for me, it just didn’t live up to the hype. I found the consistency very sticky - it was as lip balm, but I couldn’t use it for anything else. It has a very distinctive smell which I’m not a massive fan of.

This is an absolute holy grail product for me! When I was young my mum used to put it on all the cuts and grazes we had, chapped lips and skin, and any other part of our bodies she felt needed it! I completely forgot about this when I grew up, until I started suffering from particularly dry lips and skin during a course of acne medication.

I bought some hoping it would help with the dryness and have never looked back! It helped amazingly with smoothing down my chapped lips and dry skin. This is an amazing healing ointment, I use it on everything.

When I put this on pimples at night, I wake up the next morning and they always look so much better and heal so much faster! I use it every night under my eyes, around my nose and on my lips, and my skin always looks and feels plump and hydrated when I wake up.

This has such amazing skin smoothing abilities that I even wear it under foundation to give my skin a smooth, poreless finish!

I would recommend this to everyone! It is an amazing, must have product.

Ok, so I call this miracle cream. I was given some of this and did not use it as didn’t really take much notice as to what is was used for until we were out camping one time and I got a burn, I googled best products and thank my lucky stars, this product popped up. I healed so amazing I couldn’t believe it. Thanks heaps guys

I love this product! I was given this in a sample size and went back the next day and bought a tube of it! I use it for everything. Chapped lips, dry skin, I even use it to tame my eyebrows when i don't fill them in.

I picked this up a few years ago when I was taking Roaccutane and was going through the 'peeling like a lizard' stage. I'd been intrigued by this product and its reputation for years. Whenever I had looked at it though I was put off by the fact that it is a very thick balm rather than a cream. I really couldn't imagine rubbing it into my face! But I was keen to give it a go when my Roaccutaned lips were about to fall off! Whilst I did find this healing, it is not the greatest thing to use on lips due to it's distinctive fragrance. I've heard it being described as smelling like furniture polish which is spot on! Unfortunately this fragrance is so strong that I can actually taste it! It does do a good job of soothing very dry skin though so I prefer to use it on dry cracked heels or on cuticles. I still can't imagine using it on my face as the couple of times I did it was not pleasant. It also thickens up even more in the tube after awhile, even though it has a very long shelf life. I can't see myself repurchasing this as I think there are quite similar products without the scent (although you can also buy it unscented) for much less. I don't think this really does anything that your average pawpaw ointment will also do. ​

Come in thick plastic tube with screw cap. Does say it's recycleable which is good.

Pretty handy to have, and does what it claims like smoothing hands and cuticles, shaping brows etc... I use it a lot as a lip moisterisor which is perfect, mind you it's a lot to pay for a lip moisterisor.

Pleasant fragrance, gel like. Does have a lot of petrolatum at 57% but much better than just using Vaseline.

I feel this product is in a category of its own, doesn't claim to have healing properties however I am kinda used to having balm like products with Manuka Honey or other properties than also do what this product does and more like healing/helping to heal & calm down.

I would say it's a great all round product but get on promotion. I'd buy again but not at full price. It's a great looking product which comes in a nice box so even good as a stocking filler or those pesky secret Santa requirements.

Tube will last a while seeing you only need just a little.
