Basic sunscreen ingredients
Originally posted on influenster.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Has that usual sunscreen scent and ingredients that drive my eyes crazy. I can’t tell how well it works because I can’t keep it on my skin because I react to it. The packaging seems nice and the lid has a satisfying snap to let you know it’s closed all the way.

Naturally nourishing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always been a fan of Elizabeth Arden beauty products and cosmetics. This top-shelf luxury nourishing treatment with SPF works wonders. Clearer skin and less damage from the sun. (I use it daily with the E. Arden daily bounce cream!)

Hydrating, Lightweight, and Reliable SPF!
Originally posted on influenster.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour® HydraPlay™ Daily Defense Nourishing Fluid SPF 40 daily, and it’s honestly become a go-to in my routine. The texture is super lightweight and absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling soft and hydrated — no greasy residue or heaviness! As someone with sensitive skin, I really appreciate that this formula doesn’t irritate or clog my pores. It wears well under makeup, which is a big win for me. The broad-spectrum SPF 40 gives me peace of mind for everyday protection, whether I’m running errands or heading into the office. I will say it leaves a slight dewy finish — not oily, but if you have very oily skin, you might prefer something more mattifying. Also, it has a subtle fragrance, which I personally like, but it might not be ideal for everyone.

Very good product
Originally posted on influenster.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the packaging and the texture was fine. I noticed a little bit of a difference, but nothing really significant showed up as a difference, but it did show a little bit and I do like it and the ingredients are very good.

Fragrance Free Sunscreen
Originally posted on influenster.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Eight Hour sunscreen is fragrance, easy to apply, and is similar to lotion in texture. The sunscreen seems to work well but I would have to try it for a longer period of time to accurately assess the effectiveness of the product.

Finally, a Sunscreen That Doesn’t Feel Like One
Originally posted on influenster.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour HydraPlay Daily Defense Nourishing Fluid SPF 40, and I’m genuinely impressed with how it performs. The formula is lightweight, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a white cast—perfect for everyday wear. The texture feels silky and moisturizing, yet breathable, making it ideal even for warmer days. I love how it gives my skin a healthy, dewy glow without looking oily. You can see in the close-up—my skin looks hydrated, smooth, and radiant. It wears beautifully under makeup and hasn’t caused any irritation or breakouts, which is a big plus for my sensitive skin. The packaging is sleek and portable, so it’s easy to toss in a bag for on-the-go reapplication. If you’re looking for a sunscreen that feels luxurious while still being protective and nourishing, this one is a great pick. Definitely a new staple in my skincare routine.

Flawless SPF
Originally posted on influenster.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who has sensitive skin, I absolutely loved this product. It applies easily onto my face and doesn’t leave a white cast. It also protects from blue light, which is amazing! The packaging is great, the applicator is nice, and is small enough to fit in a toiletry bag when you travel. I wear it underneath my makeup every day. It really has become a staple in my skincare routine.
