Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream review

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.

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.

I brought this a few months ago as I had heard rave reviews and I have had the worst dry lips over winter. It was quite pricey but I thought it was at least worth a shot. I found it great. It helped my lips within days. I have also found it really good to put on dry areas like knees an elbows when needed. It is quite a thick texture but rubs in well. The smells not too great but its easy to deal with. Anyone suffering from dry patches would love this

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.

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.

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.

There are so many uses for this product and I'd be lost without it! It's a bit pricey but it's totally worth it in my opinion, I like to use it as a lip balm before bed and when I wake up my lips are super smooth and ready for lipstick.

I've always had a problem with mosquitos attacking me during the night and i wake up with billions of itchy bites that I can never not itch. But when I discovered this magic stuff, I applied it and didn't feel the need to itch again. It was amazing and they healed super fast too.

It's also great if you have a cold and are always blowing your nose, because for me, that area gets so dry and sore and this cream fixes it right up.

This is also good for minor burns and since I live in a house full of boys, this definitely comes in handy.

This is a miracle in a tube, the only downside is the smell. But I can totally get over that when I see its results

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!!

I have been suffering for a long time from dry skin on my forehead and around my nose. Especially after wearing makeup, even when I put on moisturiser before applying. A friend recommended the eight hour cream and I love it! Completely fixed the dry skin and can now wear other makeups over top without it caking up.
