Eight Hour® Cream Skin Protectant Lightly Scented 50ml

Product code: T233655F

This lightly scented, skincare classic, calms, protects and hydrates skin for up to eight hours.

Eight hour® cream is the legendary, award-winning skin protectant that does more than soothe sun-burned skin, rehydrate chapped lips, and heal rough elbows and calluses. It’s also the secret that makeup artists all over the world use for keeping legs, lips and eyelids shiny; eyebrows in place; and cuticles perfectly manicured. There are an infinite number of ways to use this classic cream. The legend created in 1930 by Elizabeth Arden herself to soothe skin, eight hours® cream skin protectant became an instant and overwhelming success. What made it so effective? A combination of petrolatum, a skin-soothing beta-hydroxy -- debuting in one of its first cosmetic uses -- and vitamin e. The apricot-colored balm was so beneficial to her clients that miss arden even used it to soothe her famous thoroughbred horses' legs. Even its name came about thanks to a remarkable performance – a loyal client used it to treat her child's skinned knee and "eight hours" later, the skin was all better.

Multi-use love!

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is probably one of my most favorite products of all time. I have super dry skin and I can use this on my face and body! The only con is that I hate the smell of it lol. But the texture is thick and a little greasy, BUT- I like that. I sometimes just use it as a base for my makeup. I'd recommend 10/10.

I like the cream / but when I I ordered I was promised a small gift bag that included a smaller same cream as well as other. I was looking forward to the smaller sizes for upcoming travel. I certainly feel duped. Sincerely. S fordyce

Smells absolutely awful

Originally posted on elizabetharden.com

I saw this online and had such high hopes for this but the scent is awful. I tried a small amount on my cuticles first and had to wash my hands right away. No way I could put this on my face. I received a small unscented as a gift and it’s fine. But this stuff isn’t much different than Aquaphor. I won’t buy again. .

Horrible smell

Originally posted on elizabetharden.com

It says it’s lightly scented but whatever scent they added was bad and wrong. It’s basically bad smelling Vaseline.

Feels Moisturizing

Originally posted on elizabetharden.com

The overall quality feels good on the skin and seems hydrating. Not a very pleasant scent, smells a bit medicinal.

Works as intended

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife really enjoyed this product. She could very easily tell a visible difference in her skin shortly after she started to use it. Although its not the most pleasant smelling its overall effect is worth it.

Deep Moisture

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! I love this product. I live in a very dry climate and this product has saved my skin this winter. Even when I wake up the next morning, I can still tell that my skin is being moisturized. The only negative I would say is it can be a little sticky (like lipgloss) and can get in your hair.

Weird smell

Originally posted on elizabetharden.com

I bought this cream after seeing an Instagram add. I was excited about the benefits to my skin. When I received my order I was wildly disappointed with the smell. I may have to return it. I don’t know that I can stand the scent

Was supposed to also receive a gift with purchase. Never came. This feels like Vaseline. My skin cannot breath through it. I wish I had not purchased.

Just a Small Amount Goes a Long Way!

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love how light and absorbent this cream is. It also isn't heavily scented and is great for my sometimes super-sensitive skin. I have incorporated it into my skincare routine and I apply it to my face and neck every other night in very small amounts, which is all I need. My face feels hydrated and my skin immediately looks more nourished and healthier. I have even shared it with my Mom, as she is always in search of hydrating, hypo-allerginic products for her skin. We love it!

A little goes a long way, so the tube lasts forev

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried a lot of moisturizers over the years and nothing has stuck quite like this one. I use n my face every night and on my elbows when they get rough in the winter - works autifully for both. ne texture is thick but it absorbs well enough that you're not waking up feeling greasy. My in genuinely looks calmer and softer within a few days of consistent use. The light scent is ubtle and not overwhelming at all, which was a big selling point for me since I'm sensitive o heavy fragrances.

Best handcrafted for hydration

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me start by saying this is not the first time I have used this product and it is definitely one of my go too's. Its the best for winter skin and it is gentle on your hands. It does have a mineral oil fragrance it is light and not unpleasant but it instantly hydrates your skin and makes it feel so supple.

Okay

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Felt a lot like a thicker Vaseline-type balm but more refined. It seals in moisture really well and helps dry spots stay smooth. I’m not sure if I’d repurchase but it came in handy a few times

Great hand cream for extremely dry skin

Originally posted on elizabetharden.com

This is the only cream that I’ve found to relieve dry skin. The best ever and I’ve tried so many creams that claim to relieve dry skin and they did not live up to their claims.
