Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream review

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.

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!

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

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 absolutely love this product! I occasionally get very dry patches of skin around my eyes and have always suffered from dry lips. I usually use this at night time before bed or anytime my lips need a hydration boost. Come morning any very dry areas are no longer flakey or rough - they're smooth to the touch making my morning routine and makeup application a lot easier. I really liked that you dont have to continually apply this product multiple times on one day to get rid of that tight/dry skin feeling once is enough. Although it doesn't have an added fragrance the smell reminds me of rosemary/thyme which I dont mind but if this is something that you wouldn't like you could try the fragrance free version.

What is this magic? Literally works wonders on dry patches, on cuts, on burns, on grazes, on lips, on hands, on anything and everything. It’s one of those products that you can’t help but buy/use over and over . An incredible all rounder !! 10/10

I got this cream as a gift, and i wasn’t sure how i was going to use it because i don't have any severely dry skin areas.

The only area i could think of using it on was the bottom of my feet after every shower i applied the cream & wore socks it hydrated them nicely! So i used it as a heel balm.

It doesn't say on the packaging that it can be used as such, but it is made for very dry/cracked skin.

The cream does have a yellow color to it which can stain your socks if they are white so do not wear white socks when using this cream.

The cream does have a herby smell to it, which I wasn’t a fan off it quite strong. Reminded me of zaatar which is a herb. But otherwise the product works great!

It’s so good even Prince Harry uses it (Google that - it’s a hilarious story!) From parched lips, dry heels, bites, scratches, dry patches Elizabeth Arden's 8 Hour Cream (more like a balm really) has lasted the test of time (my grandmother used it!) and it is a staple in my handbag.

What a miracle worker, I get really chapped lips especially in winter and I only use this twice and they end up healed. Use it everywhere thats chapped and cracked.
