Quick Review Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

I've wanted to try the Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream forever. It has been around for a very long time and holds somewhat of a cult status in the beauty industry.

It is said to help with cracked lips, minor burns & dry or flaky skin.



Price R300 for 50ml
You can buy it from Clicks, Dischem, Foschini or Edgars.

Now I must say reading all the fab reviews online, I had very high expectations for this product.

The first thing you should note is that this is not really a cream, it is more of an emollient with a balm like texture. It has a bit of a medicinal scent which doesn't linger for to long so it's easy to ignore.

It is quite dense so I would recommend using at Night Only unless you are using on your lips as a lip balm, then it's okay to use during the day as well.

Whilst it did soften my lips and offered an extra boost of hydration I wouldn't buy it purely for the purpose of using it as a lip balm. There are more affordable options that work just as well.

I've used it a few times on my face after my cleansing routine at night and found that my skin was much softer the next morning. You have to make sure that you massage it well in to the skin or else it will leave an oily residue behind.

It also helped soothe a scrape that I had on my leg so it does deliver in that aspect.

I don't however find myself buying this again, I didn't notice any major benefits to my skin (maybe I need to use it for longer than a month) and feel it might be more beneficial to those with extremely dry skin.

Have you tried out this product, let me know your thoughts below:
