How to Use: 8 ways to use eight hour apply head-to-toe to seal in moisture and experience hours of hydrated, healthy-looking skin with each use

At face value: simply rub a dime-sized amount in the palms of hands to warm through, then pat onto the face to seal in moisture

Comes in handy: deep condition by working the formula into palms and over the fingers, then wrapping each hand for 10 minutes in a warm towel

Heel-to-toe healing: relieve weary feet by mas­saging the cream generously onto soles, pads and heels, then topping with cotton socks for deeper moisturization to heal dry skin

A flash of brilliance: create instant radiance wherever skin normally catches the light, including legs, shoulders, collarbone, cheeks and bow of the lips

Lavish the lips: with its effective moisturizing ingredients, this do-it-all wonder perfectly re-hydrates chapped lips

The mane benefits: in addition to its properties as a “skin savior,” the cream’s petrolatum and natural lanolin help smooth strands and moisturize dry ends

Frost smitten: it can be smoothed onto skin as protection from windburn, particularly when adventuring outdoors

Keeping it high-brow: run the tiniest amount through eyebrows to groom hairs, helping neaten and define the arch

Works

Originally posted on elizabetharden.com

For cuticles, scrapes, etc. I kept my tube for years until I ran it out and you only need a little each time.

Very greasy and heavy, not a fan of this skin protectant or of this line of skin care.

Brilliant product

Yes, I recommend this

I have been using this product for years when necessary. It’s not something I necessarily use every day but it’s a great all rounder - lip salve, antiseptic ointment, ragged cuticals, chapped hands (with gloves on at night) and my husband thinks it’s magic for infection bites and cuts and graze.

Stinky and Greasy

Originally posted on elizabetharden.com

Received as a gift set and just could not get beyond the “fragrance”. The skin protectant has the consistency of Vaseline and the colour and smell of motor oil. The hand cream isn’t much better, smell wise. I’m afraid this will not be part of any skincare routine for me.

The product is greasy like Vasoline. It is not a cream, but rather a greasy substance.

Fabulous nails!

Originally posted on elizabetharden.com

After years of acrylic and gel nails my own nails were shocking, peeling and breaking with no strength at all. So I read that moisturising your cuticles was beneficial for your nails… the nail oils didn’t work, but this did. I now have long nails which are strong and look fabulous! Highly recommend 8 hour protectant, be patient and it will work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging is super cute and makes it mess free and easy to use. The application and ingredients are also great and has helped my skin feel so hydrated and smooth.

8 hour cream smells awful - like Vaseline, which is basically it's main ingredient- 56%, along with mineral oil, lanolin, and the preservativeBHT along with small amounts of other things. Cera Ve healing cream however is only 46% petroleum and includes ceramides and hyaluronic acid along with other decent stuff, does NOT have that funny smell, and costs waaaaayyyy less. I don't get the "cult" following of this overpriced product. Bet this review does not get posted.

Great product!

Bought as a gift for my daughter for Christmas and she is very pleased with this cream. It has multiple uses eg face, lips, hands as well as sun burn and grazes. It is fragrance free but has a sort of “functional” smell.
