Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream review

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 :)

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.

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!

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.

I keep a tube of this in my handbag, car, room and on the kitchen bench. I love it for dry winter lips or just to make my hands extra soft but it can be used for so many different things. I'm yet to find a product that's better than this.

I was introduced to this product when I was given a bag of goodies from the Dermatologist when I was put on Roaccutane about 15yrs ago.

It comes in a tube or occasionally they sell it in a small glass jar. I preferred to use the tube as I tended to use too much when I used the jar. The smell is very "average" but not unpleasant. If you are looking for something flowery you won't like this but it also comes in a fragrance free version which would be better.

It is quite greasy so you don't need to use much. Warm the small amount on your fingertips before applying to your skin. It is also great as a lip balm and if you have had a bit too much sun during summer.

I wouldn't like to use this during the day as it does feel rather greasy on the skin so I only use it after I have cleansed my skin at night so it absorbs during the night.

Very inexpensive for such a great product for people with sensitive or dry skin. I have oily skin and it is still ok on mine.

This product is amazing. I use this for my dry lips and it works a treat. It glides on easily and is not overly sticky.

I have been using 8 hour cream for years and it is the best! I mostly use it on my lips as lip balm but it's also amazing for peeling, sun burnt skin, cracking etc all over your body. I have found that my lips now crave it so if I haven't put it on for awhile then my lips are super dry but I love it and have one tube in my handbag, and one by my bed for putting on before I sleep. I once got told by a boyfriend that it smelt like crayons - it doesn't have a delicious smell but I still rate it!

Love the feeling of this on my skin. Have only recently started using it but am already noticing my skin is a lot more hydrated and soft feeling. Love that it lasts so long

I love the Elizabeth Arden 8 hr cream! It lasts forever, isn't too sticky and stays on your lips.

Its perfect for dry or cracked lips - only downside is the smell isn't great.
