Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream review

This is my HG! the best best best lip balm!

I use this every night before bed, i honestly cant use anything else.

The smell is one thing that can put people off, at first it was a bit of a shock for something like this to smell so strange, a weird... almost medical smell to it, but i actually don't mind it now For some reason i find the unscented version not as effective

I primarily use it for my lips, but the last cold i had i formed a dry flakey nose and this was amazing for that too.

Ive had a decent sized pot of it (one of the limited edition jars they do every year), i've barely made a dent and its a few years old!

I've been using EA 8 Hour cream since high school, it is great for patches of dry skin! It works to heavily moisturise anything, from your face to your lips. However, it has quite a shiny, almost glossy finish to it, and so if you apply it to your face, it will make it look shiny. it has a bit of a lipgloss consistency to it too, so it does also feel a bit heavy and sticky. but it definitely does it's job!

I was at work one day with severely chapped lips and ended up talking to one of the Elizabeth Arden girls. Try this they said, you can come back and reapply during the day if needed but let us know how you go.

Well taking the stress of purchasing for starters made this a great idea. But by the end of the day I had purchased a wee gift set with 2 little tins of lip balm as well as the original eight hour cream.

You can use it on cuticles, split ends, fly aways on your head, sunburn...The list is endless!

It's a great all around product to have!

I was introduced to this product about 6 years ago, and i am still using it to this day. (new ones of course) It really works wonders and you can use it on practically anything thats feeling dry and needs a pick me up. Even got my partner to use it for his lips in winter :)

I used a sample of this before I went on the Tongariro crossing a month or so ago and it was amazing! Pouring rain, gale force wind and strong sun and my lips were soft and supple still after our 8 hr adventure! I like that its like an ointment and felt very soothing as well as protective. Only thing I didn't like was that it tasted a bit iffy so I'd reccomend eating and drinking before you put it on :p

I absolutely love this product. I first was introduced to eight hour cream when my step mother was using it to treat dry skin on one of our horses. Since then I have been hooked, it's always in my handbag. Great for dry skin, and other skin problems as well as an awesome lip balm.

Mum had used this product for years and would always tell me to use it if my lips were dry, it can be also used for many other skin problems. It does smell a bit funny but it doesn't bother me that much, possibly a signature smell? I have purchased my own, it does go along way as you don't need much product. This is a pricey product but would repurchase. I also have the lipstick version and that js great too.

My mum used to always have this when I was little, and I used to steal it when my lips got dry. Actually, things haven't changed that much, the new tube I have came from her too! It is brilliant to have for when my lips decide to do their weird get rid of any moisture possible trick. I also find myself reaching for it for the kids itchy bites, grazes etc. It has a really thick formula, so you only need the tiniest amount (so a tube will literally last forever - actually better check the expiry!). It has an interesting scent, I can see it would take a bit of getting used to it, if you didn't grow up with it like I did (lol). It's just a brilliant all-rounder cream to have on hand.

If I had to only ever have one product in my life, Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream would be the one. I have always had at least one tube of Eight Hour Cream somewhere in the house, handbag and First Aid Kit. My kids have grown up thinking everyone has this in their first aid kit. It is great for chafing, sunburn, dry cracked skin, small grazes, eczema, split ends, eyebrows, skin conditioner, softening skin, great on elbows, knees and gardeners hands, we even use it on our dogs when they have scrapes etc. A tube taken on holiday is like having a medical kit with you - it really is a wonder product and deserves it longevity and status in the marketplace. I love the smell and feel on the skin, it is even pleasing to the males in the household, who have no qualms using it. A tube lasts for ages and never loses potency or deteriorates in consistency or smell, so is really good value for money.

This is one of those products I had heard about for years but never purchased. I was generously gifted this, which excited me as I never would have purchased it.

Firstly, you get a heap of product in this. I have been using this weekly for about 2 months and there is still heaps left. Because the product is so rich, you barely need any - so this will last a long time.

One thing I dislike is the scent - it is a weird kind of herbal smell which I honestly don't like. This doesn't put me off of using it though.

As in the description, you can use this for almost anything. I like to use it on my chapped feet and elbows, as a lip balm, a raw nose when I get the flu - basically anything.

The product is a kind of thick gel texture which blends easily into the skin. It does leave the feeling of an oily residue, so bear that in mind of you go to use this.

I do really like this but I wouldn't pay $35 for it... I feel that Lucas' Paw Paw Ointment does the same thing (without the nasty scent), and it is a lot more affordable.

If you're a fan of the brand you might like to check this out, as it is a decent product - just not one I would purchase when there are more affordable products around that are very similar.
