Elizabeth Arden GREAT 8 Eight Hour Daily Defense Moisturizer SPF35 Reviews

I picked this up in the Beauty Vault, thanks BR! I have not used many Elizabeth Arden products as they are a bit on the expensive side.

It comes in a box which has information on all the benefits.  The product itself comes in a squeezy tube with a pump, yay for pumps! It has an spf of 35, I have to be careful as some products with sunscreen in them can irritate my skin and cause me to break out badly. Thankfully this does not do that. However it smells like sunscreen which I really don't like.

The cream itself is a medium consistency, you only need a small amount as it spreads well. It doesn't seem to dry down completely and my face has a slight tack to it. A huge pet peeve of mine!

My foundation glides on well and performs like it should. It keeps my face feeling hydrated throughout the day although even though I have dry skin it seemed to cause oil on the sides of ny nose. I definitely dont love it. I have supermarket moisturisers that perform better. I wouldn't go out and buy this.

I have an oily T-zone even though I’m in my 50’s and find that products with SPF components irritate my eyes. This product kept my skin hydrated all day without making the oily skin worse and the best part...... no eye irritation. This product does what it claims and is my new daily moisturiser. You only need a little amount to go a long way.

I got this product in the Vault. I love a moisturiser with a sunscreen. This product is lovely and light to use. You can 'smell' the spf component of the cream but otherwise the smell is quite pleasant and not too over powering. Sitting under makeup it does a pretty good job as a primer too, as it controls excess oil and I had no issues with how makeup applied over it.

I don't tend to have 'oily' skin so I did wonder if this would be wrong for my skin, however I was pleasantly surprised at how hydrating it was. My skin stayed hydrated all day, and maintained a 'glow' that other moisturisers have failed to deliver for me. I was really really happy with this moisturiser. I love the pump dispenser so I don't use too much product and don't have to put fingers into a jar, like other products.

I'm really loving my Elizabeth Arden skin care at the moment. It seems a great fit for my 40+ age bracket/skin requirements
