Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream review

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream is one of those staple beauty products that you have to try at least once... I am not saying it is the best product out there but its a cult classic.

It is very versatile and you are able to use it all over for many different reasons (one of the lovely ladies below has some great options) The smell/taste is questionable however and using it on your lips can be a bit overpowering sometimes. If you hate the smell then that would be quite hard to get over as it is very strong. It is hydrating and would be a good product to just have in your handbag for all occasions.

All in all its an ok product but I am sure you can get the same if not better results from Vaseline for much less of the price.... but not in quite as classy packaging ;)

I have loved this cream for many years and it is one that I always make room for in my budget.

Usually I use this on areas of skin that need extra TLC - such as my hands, feet and elbows. I also like to apply this to dry patches on my face during winter time.

Over all of the years I have used this I have never been disappointed with it and have even bought it for friends as gifts.

This is something every woman should own.

This 8 hour cream is a must in your bathroom cupboard. It works wonders on dry skin,cuts, grazes and even burns. If I ever have any burns from in the kitchen I apply this as soon as ive run it under the water, I find it leaves a protective barrier without making the burn worse. I have also noticed that any scarring i would normally get after a burn is almost non existant if i apply this. I got my first tube as a luxury sample in a gift with purchase and have been buying it ever since. It does leave a coating on the skin so you need to be mindful of that

You can't go wrong with this product. I use it on dry skin, or put it on my lips over night to wake up with them feeling so soft and moisturised, with all dry spots gone. The smell is quite overpowering, but manageable, and this product is also good for sensitive skin. I do find the product quite think so it has to be used in small amounts.

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

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.

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 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 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.

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.
