Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant, All Purpose Beauty Salve, Moisturizing Balm for Body, Repairs Dry Hands, Cracked Feet, Chapped Lips & Cuticles

THE BEST LIP MOISTURIZER EVER!!! It starts out greasy but absorbs quickly. It's the moisturizer that I keep in my purse because I can apply to my lips generously, smear the rest onto my hands and dab on my eye area as needed! The smell is not the best, but it's tolerable (it dsnt interfere with any fragrance that you are wearing.) I WON'T run out so I'm grateful I can order it online!

I am a great fan of this product. It has a proprietary mix of Lionel and mineral oils. It’s good for my cracked fingers. As a barber, washing my hands all day. I also use it as a face cream at night. As my eye cream. And to heal cracked heels on my feet. It has a little smell like ginger and lanolin. So don’t expect it to smell like flowers. The smell doesn’t stay with you. I believe Princess Diana used this product as her night cream. And nothing else. It is by Elizabeth Arden, and they still to this day make very quality products. I am a cosmetologist and read the ingredients in products. I did a little homework on this one. And it works! It is a lifesaver.

I have been using Eight Hour Cream for over forty years. It has now become my at home face moisturizer. I pat it in on, It absorbs nicely leaving a nice refreshed moist look. For those who find it is too heavy, keep it around, the day will come when you will see the benefits of this incredible balm. It can be used on your hands, elbows or dry patches anywhere on your body.

I bought this after Prince Harry had mentioned it as the lip product his mom Princess Diana used to prevent windburn and chapped lips in the cold weather. I don't ski but it gets very cold and windy in Wisconsin and I'm always on the lookout for a product to prevent chapped lips and windsurf. You do get a generous sized tube of this product and it is an ointment consistency. It does help keep my lips from drying out in the cold and the harsh dryness of Winter heated homes. I found it to have a strange smell and to be honest it is really overpriced Vaseline with a few other ingredients thrown in. I don't think it works any better than a dollar priced Vaseline. I will continue to use it till it's gone but won't be repurchasing in the future.

product has a strong smell that is difficult to get used to no difference from other petroleum jelly based products give the impression of an old product bought at discount with intent to resell no expiration dates

Makes my lips very hydrated

My sister read an article where a celebrity mentioned this product as her ‘secret to looking ageless’. Being ‘of an age’ we jumped on it as soon as we could open up our Amazon apps. As luck would have it, mine was delivered first. Squealing, I texted her a quick picture and ran to wash my face so I could try it out. I excitedly opened the box - I couldn’t wait; I’m gonna be ageless! When I opened the tube, I sniffed the contents - a decidedly medicinal smell, but that’s ok! I’ll get used to that, I thought. I squeezed the tube and a thick, formed, pinkish glob? came out onto my palm. I don’t know what I expected, but this wasn’t it. So, I tentatively tapped the tip of my finger onto the top of the glob and it depressed somewhat, but didn’t budge - it didn’t coat my fingertip like I’d expect a moisturizer to do. So I tried again, but with a scooping motion. The entire glob came up in one piece on the end of my finger. My initial thoughts were that maybe once I put it on my face, it would become more liquid and spread easier. (It did not.) As soon I made the first pass at rubbing it in, I thought - um, this feels exactly like Vaseline! What the heck? Still hopeful though, I continued to apply the goop to my face. Once I finished, I stood looking at myself in the mirror. Yep. I looked exactly like someone who’d just applied Vaseline all over their face. Greasy, shiny - my glasses wouldn’t even stay put on my nose, they slid down every time I’d lean forward. The feeling of the product on my skin was decidedly unpleasant; thick, sticky, almost a suffocating sensation, like my skin couldn’t breathe. Feeling a little stumped, I thought this can’t be right, it feels exactly like Vaseline - not a semi-expensive moisturizer by an iconic company like EA? So I read the ingredients: “petrolatum 56.8%” I couldn’t believe it. I’d paid almost $30 bucks for a tube of pink smelly Vaseline. Granted, nowhere on the tube does it say it’s a moisturizer, the tube clearly states “Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant” So, lesson learned - I’ll make sure to read the reviews before I try the next miracle ageless cure. I doubt I’ll use it on my face, because I can’t get past the sticky, heavy and greasy feeling - but it’ll work for a nice cuticle cream, I guess.

This has been around since the 30’s So have I. We used it for everything- scratches, bites, sun burn, and imagined childhood ouches. It worked for everything and still does. It is still the original formula. We grow old together. Hooray Elizabeth Arden!
