Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream review

I have used this glorious stuff for about ten years. My favourite use is as a non-sticky lip product that gives shine, but I also use it liberally in winter around my nostrils which have a tendency to crack.

It has a strong smell, but it's not too unpleasant. It is expensive, but it lasts forever.

This product is the most versatile must have in my handbag. After starting a course of Accutane nothing would control the dryness especially on the face and lips. This skin protectant was the only product that kept the lips under control. Even though I stopped the medication a long time ago I still continue to use this for my lips. I would absolutely recommend this for anyone who has issues with dry lips, eczema, sunburn/windburn, and just general dry areas on your body.

It's all pro's for me! I don't see any con's because it's totally worth the price and a little goes a long LONG way!

No other product is as amazing! Although the smell takes a bit of getting used to! It is more of a balm/thick sticky gel than a cream. It is ideal for putting on blemishes at night and miraculously cures them. And it will always keep your lips soft and supple. I carry it around everywhere in my handbag. My lips wouldn't survive without it! Make sure you always take this cream on the aeroplane when you go travelling.

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 is my new miracle-does-everything product! Perfect for really dry lips, but I also find it really good for sorting out dry patches, if I get dry heels or knees sometimes, eczema or anything like that really.

I don't usually go for these name brands since I typical go for natural NZ brands since I find them cheaper and prefer the natural ingredients but after reading so many reviews plus there was a sale at Farmers so I had to get some. I used this for knees, feet, elbows, cuticles and lips. My knees and elbows have a tendency to get all discolored from calluses and really dry. I put a dab of this on before bed and the next morning the skin is back to it normal color and smooth and hydrated. I also use this on my feet and the next morning the calluses are softened even if I didn't use a foot file the night before. This can also be used on lips but my person preference is lip balm since this is a bit sticky and doesn't taste good. I have also used it for cuticles but I prefer cuticle oil as it sinks deeper and is less sticky.

The pros are: It's multipurpose, has some natural ingredients, comes in a decent sized tube and a little goes a long way.

The cons are: It's expensive for a balm and I wasn't fond of the scent of the Original tube. It also has some ingredients like mineral oil and BHT which is a toulene based ingredient and I avoid toulene in nail polishes.

Overall I will probably consider repurchasing if I can't find a better and cheaper balm to deal with calluses.

I get INSANELY dry lips as well as a few spots of exzema, this is a miracle worker.You can use it for several things, but i use it mostly as a lipbalm. Its quite lipid based-so fatty consistency a bit like Lucaspawpaw in a way, but better. Works wonders and far better than other lipbalms, also your lips dont get that addicted thing where they eventually become dry from using the procudt too much. Will repurchase again and again. Some people dont like the smell-it doesnt bother me, but if it does there is a fragrance free version. Will last you forever so great investment.

I have been using this products for years now but mainly for travelling especially for long haul flights when your skin gets dry. The only reason I don't use it everyday is it's a bit greasy for me. But the product is great, very similar to Lucas Paw Paw and I use it for dry skin, chapped lips and for swelling.

I actually won this product and had never tried it before. 6 months on and I use it for everything, dry skin, chapped lips - anything that just needs a little TLC! I find the balm is a nice change from a cream, but is slightly, stickier/greasy - just something to be aware of.

This is a must it is great on dry lips and skin cuts etc it is a go to product when every needed it is also great on sunburn
