Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant

A household staple at a pretty good price (compared to its RRP). I tried this after getting a trial sample a couple of years ago, it's become such a must have I always have two or three on the go so I'm never without. It's odd really as I always saw it as being some sort of posh face cream or something, but it's actually an all-rounder balm for the whole family. It comes out of the tube a very thick, luminous red/orange and clearly has a petroleum jelly base, but has a pleasant almost herbal medicinal smell. Saying that though you can't smell anything once used. I have sensory processing disorder, which essentially means 'odd' textures freak me out, including moisturisers that leaves a certain tacky feeling or won't sink in. Although it most definitely *is* a gloopy balm, it does t stay like that on the skin for long and maintains a smooth texture. Some uses: - It works on skin conditions better than any emollient or steroid I've ever used for our family of eczema and psoriasis sufferers, myself included. - Speaking of healing properties, whether nappy rash, sore underboob, chapped lips, aftersun, thigh chafing or stopping a ladder in your tights, it works! - Also a great beauty staple, whether fixing eyebrows or lips, or you want to dewy skin look, 8hr 'cream' can handle it. - Great in sensitive skin (though always do a test patch particularly on children). Honestly I should get shares for the amount I go on about it, I only wish I'd found it years ago!

This healing cream is fantastic for lips and my hairdresser uses it on her hands as they are always in water. Lasts ages - grab yours now.

This cream is really magical. I use it on my lips, dry spots, insect bites and heels and elbows. It's fantastic!

I just LOOOOOVVEE this cream. As a woman in my mid 50’s, 4 years into full menopause and suffering from dry/combination skin with areas of red dry patches across my nose and cheeks from years of sun damage, this cream just hits the spot!! I’ve used so many different types of day and night creams, topical dry cortisone ointments and even had expensive homeopathic lubricants that are designed to re-hydrate my skin and remove the dry patches, but NOTHING has worked. Then I remembered this cream that I first tried in the late 90’s, which was lovely but too strong for a person skin that is still young. However the menopause has really dried my skin out on my face, hands and areas of my body and this has been the only cream that has eased the dryness and brought my skin back to life again. I do use it at night as it’s like a thickening Vaseline texture, but it’s not Vaseline. It’s clearly full of amazing ingredients that over the last month has made my skin look fresh and more youthful again. Highly rated if you are suffering dry skin, psoriasis or menopausal skin.

Smaller tube than I used to buy and the smell isn’t what I remember , not sure about this item although it feels good on my skin

Absolute godsend of a product. I use this at night to put on my lips which seemed to be permanently dry and chapped, especially when I chew or pick my lip whilst stressed or thinking. This has helped keep them more supple and as such has mean less dryness which means I don’t chew or pick my lips. I also smear on my eyebrows at night to keep them nourished and in place and if I have dryness on my hands or feet, this usually helps soothe it. The cream is smooth, it is a paraffin based product so it is like Vaseline to a degree but it squeezes out of the tube nicely and has a more gel like consistency. There is a pleasant scent to it, not overly fragranced but also not quite medicinal, it sits somewhere in between. This soaks into the skin and it can feel a little more greasier than an actual cream, but I find it much more tolerable than Vaseline and as mentioned, I use mostly at night.

Interesting feel, almost like an ointment but it went on very well and I like it so far.

Have used this product for years, it's good for hands that are a bit sore after too much gardening and feet that are dry. Works every time

Does what it says, has multiple uses. A new staple for my makeup bag. Didn’t mind the smell, reminds me of my grandmother lol. Will definitely buy again.

Eins vorweg: die Eight Hour Cream ist super! Wer sie nicht kennt: Die Creme ist keine weißliche Creme im generellen Sinne, sondern mehr eine transparent-gelbliche Vaseline Paste in der Konsistenz. Die meisten Verwenden sie nur auf kleinen, trockenen Stellen oder den Lippen. Ich jedoch habe eine so trockene Neurodermitis-Haut, dass ich sie regelmässig im kompletten Gesicht verwende - und bis jetzt noch keine negative Auswirkungen wie Pickel oder Unterlagerungen erfahren habe! Nach dem Duschen/Baden spannt meine Haut oft furchtbar und ich trage dann eine dünne Schicht auf und danach ist die Haut super entspannt. Sie glänzt dann jedoch sehr - am besten nur vor dem ins Bett gehen verwenden! Zum Geruch: Er ist speziell! Ich hatte mich für die Fragrance Free Version entschieden, weil ich von der parfümierten gelesen hatte, dass sie recht unangenehm riecht. Die parfumfreie Version braucht auch etwas Zeit, bis man sich daran gewöhnt hat, aber mittlerweile konnte ich mal an der "parfümierten" (was haben sie sich dabei gedacht?!) riechen und bin sehr froh, die parfumfreie gewählt zu haben! Ansonsten eignet sie sich noch super zur Pflege trockener, spröder Lippen, der Nagelhaut oder generell trockenen Händen. Absolutes Nachkaufprodukt!

Finns inte så mycket mer att säga än att det var den produkt jag förväntade mig till ett bra pris.

Excelente producto

Nice price 🙏👍👍👍
