Eight Hour® Cream Skin Protectant - Fragrance Free
HotThe skincare classic that soothes, restores, calms and helps relieve chapped, cracked, dry skin. Soothes roughness, redness and minor skin irritations. Created in 1930 by Elizabeth Arden to soothe skin, Eight Hour® Cream Skin Protectant became an instant and overwhelming success. What made it so effective is a combination of petrolatum, a skin-soothing beta-hydroxy in one of its first cosmetic uses, and vitamin E. The apricot coloured balm was so beneficial to her clients, Miss Arden 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. - www.elizabetharden.co.za

Amazing product, this is slightly thicker than the original Eight Hour Cream, and even more moisturising. It has the signature fragrance, and is definitely a hit for me! Soothing and moisturising, and it definitely does protect my lips. It doesn't have spf, but is still a favourite!

I had a really bad, very uncomfortable writers callus which just wouldn't go away no matter what I tried, I decided to try the Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Protectant which I applied directly on the callus and then wrapped a plaster around the area of my finger, the next morning the callus was much softer so I repeated the procedure for a few more days and then filed the callus for just a few minutes and VOILA... the callus was completely gone and hasn't returned for months now.
I've also tried using it for chapped lips, insect bites, boils, rashes... you name it and it works like a bomb!!! I've tried it on burns caused by my GHD too.
And whilst it is really effective, it is not harsh it's gentle enough to be used on babies so I tried using it on my sons bottom for diaper rash and it helped clear it up. I now use it on any cuts or abrasions he gets as well as on his insect bites and sun burn patches he often gets on his shoulders.
It is however quite oily and hard to wash out of clothes so be careful not to get it on your clothes.
I think this product is a must have in every woman's hand bag and any family first aid kit!!!

This is one of the best products I have in my body/face beauty collection.
You can use this product for anything and everything.
Its great for nourishing dry skin, you can use it on your hands, faces, body, lips.... ANYWHERE. Its literally a ALL-IN-ONE miracle fix.
I love to use it on my lips, as a lip treatment and at times on blemishes or stubborn breakouts.
The beauty of the product is also that men can also use it... It applies smoothly, treats problem areas like chapped dry lips, breakouts, blemishes and it gets rid of them quickly.
A little goes a long way with this product, I have had mine for over a year now, and its STILL no where near finished. Its a cult beauty product -very thick, intensely moisturising and good for your money.
This one is definitely worth it!

I have to say though, the scent isn't great but for the absolute magic it works, I can deal with that. It has a number of wonderful uses including fixing up dry elbows and knees in winter. It also has a soothing effect that helps when your dry skin develops and itchy quality or your lips basically burn from chapping.
I love it now and I will forever. Yay Elizabeth Arden!
This product is my saviour, has been my saviour and I would marry it if I could. No, seriously! Elizabeth Arden was a genius, and it is definitely a must-have product for every female who currently walks this planet.
With its healing properties and sheer shine, it is a product that will become a necessity in your cosmetics bag!
The wonderful benefits are:
-Helps protect, soothe and moisturise skin.
-Soothes dry skin and provides anti-inflammatory benefits.
-Soothes and comforts minor weather burns, scrapes and abrasions.
-Looks fab on every skin tone.
Elizebeth Arden 8 Hour cream can also be useful for:
Weather Protector
Eight Hour Cream is an ideal moisturizer for intense situations like extreme cold or high altitudes. Add a dollop of Eight Hour Cream onto your hands, let it heat up, and then apply it over the face and neck for a protective moisturizer that fights dehydration.
Glow Giver
For highlighting or adding glow to the skin, add a dab at the highest point of your cheekbones after your foundation application. It gives just the right amount of sexy shine.
Lip Protector
As a lip balm and treatment, Eight Hour Cream heals quickly and leaves behind a soft shine and a light, glossy effect that complements any lip color.
Lip Scrubber
Add a dab of Eight Hour Cream to the center of dry, chapped lips and use an old toothbrush to gently scrub and slough away the flakes—it leaves behind a beautiful pout every time.
Brow Shiner
Use a spoolie brush or wand to brush Eight Hour Cream through the eyebrow. The cream is brilliant at keeping unruly brows in place and providing a bit of sheen that creates an amazing frame to any shadow application.
Chic Accentuator
Want to add a bit of edgy, professional polish to your makeup? Mix a bit of soft taupe or light gold eye shadow into Eight Hour Cream and brush it through the brow for a gorgeous ombre effect that looks very young Hollywood.
Eye Opener
For romantic looking eyes with a bit of shine, take a touch of Eight Hour Cream on your fingertip and apply it into the center of the lid. It opens up the eye and gives your lid a sheer, mysterious glow. You can also try applying the product on bare skin at the highest point of the brow bone, right below the brow. This gives you a highlight in that area without the dated look of a shimmer or lighter eye shadow.
Body Highlighter
For a sexy summer glow, or a hint of red-carpet-ready sheen, apply a small dab of Eight Hour Cream along the collarbone, shoulders, knees and shins.
Cuticle Comforter
Eight Hour Cream is the perfect post-mani or pedi product to condition and soothe cuticles, especially during brutal winters.
Overnight Healer
Massage Eight Hour Cream into your hands and feet before bed every night. Don a pair of socks and a pair of cotton gloves and it will heal even the roughest, driest skin while you sleep.
Age Concealer
Don’t neglect elbows, knees, and necks. These areas can get dry and ashy very quickly and can become the telltale sign of someone’s age. Rub a small amount of Eight Hour Cream into these areas regularly and you can help keep them conditioned, fresh, and youthful-looking.
It's slightly more pricey than your normal lip/skin protectant, but definitely worth every bit of the price. Hope you go out and get one now ladies!
To beautiful, radiant skin!

When I first sampled this some time back, I didn't like it. Please don't get me wrong, I am referring more to the texture than anything else... Because the formula is so thick, It made me feel sort of claustrophobic when I had it on my skin...
So when I received this, I just thought to myself, it has amazing reviews, i just need to get over myself and try it. The safest place and time to give it a go would be on my feet at bed time.
So I applied the 8 hour cream to my footsies, wrapped them up in my fav snuggle socks and off to sleep I went (In all honesty in the middle of the night I had numerous urges to take off my socks and wash my feet - i'm weird, i know hehe)
I can truly say that I am uber happy i stuck in there!! My feet were left amazingly soft to the touch, the dryness of my heels seemed like it was never there in the first place, and my skin looked beautiful and glowing!
I am now a convert... I'll try and give it a go on my hands, and I read on 1 review that it makes an awesome lip balm which I will try as well. Im really happy I tried this :)
I squeezed a bit of it and literally a blob came out of the tube. It was a really think cream and I was pretty hesitant about using it after my shower.
With previous attempts at using thick cream after a shower, I learnt my lesson because it really does not absorb into your skin. It instead just lies there.
With this Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour body treatment Cream it was completely different. It absorbed really really quickly into my skin and the best part is that it did not leave my skin oily and greasy. I could actually put on a pair of jeans easily without having to fight with them LOL
The cream was thick, but once applied to your skin, it practically vanishes. I dont know what everyone below is talking about, because I actually enjoyed the scent of this. I'm going to just assume that they are talking about the skin protectant and not the cream. The scent is not really herbally, but more like a fruity scent I think. It is not overpowering at all and I quite like it. It is different from other body creams, but this different is a good different.
Rather pricey though, but worth every rand spent! I will continue to purchase once I run out.
Try it and you will not look back.
My boss had been telling me about the wonders of the Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream for months and I decided to take the plunge one day and buy it. I'm not sorry! At R165 for 50mls it is quite pricey but you literally need so little product if you're using it on your whole face even that the tube goes a long way. The wonders of this product is known far and wide so I thought I'd do a review on what I specifically had used it for.
Dry/Winter skin - I'm 29 this year. I've never before had to think about my skin like I do now. What I've taken forgranted before due to youth and good genes is now a thing of the past. For the first time ever I got Winter skin! All around my T-Zone and cheeks my skin was chapped and dry and flaky for about a week until I tried the 8 Hour Cream one night. I washed my face as normal and then applied the 8 Hour Cream liberally to my whole face. The next morning already there was a HUGE difference. Already most of the dryness and flakyness was almost gone! 3 more nights of doing this and my Winter skin was a thing of the past! Its now about 2 weeks since then and still my skin does not have that winter skin effect any longer.
Lips - I recently had a cold so I couldnt breathe out of my nose much and had to breathe out of my mouth which caused my lips to become very dry. Just a little bit of 8 Hour Cream once in the morning and once at night put paid to the dryness. My lips are soft and supple and crack-free.
Feet - My heels were cracked and my whole foot quite dried out but a little bit of 8 Hour Cream mixed with some Blue Seal Vaseline and even 2 weeks later my feet are not a bit dried out.
So in all the ELIZABETH ARDEN 8 HOUR CREAM SKIN PROTECTANT gets two thumbs up from me!
It works faster/quicker than all the other creams I've used to help remove stretch marks/scars. Ever since I started using this Eight hour Cream, I no longer get cold sores, cracked or dry lips. My lips actually looks like its getting renewed....you know, almost better than the day before I started smoking.....all I can say is wow, wow, wow!!! ILll say it everyday!!! This really works and with quick results too.....I now use it for my whole family, from my kids to my husband, to my neighbours kid as well, lol!!! Thank you Elizabeth Arden....you've got hooked/addicted fan.
I would still recommend it to anyone that can afford it. Pricewise, the 50g tube is steep at R185.00
Burns
Bruises
Allergic reactions
Bites
Dry skin on elbows
Cracked heels
Chapped lips
And I've used it as regular moisturiser during winter. It's so amazing and helps everything I could possibly need it for. The scent can be a slight killer, but can be ignored. I would really recommend you give this product a try because it has wonders. I would swear by this miracle cream.
the go to for anything, scrapes, bruises, burns and even chapped lips.
no matter what beauty regime i am trying, this will always be in my beauty bag.

Very excited that they've brought out an unscented one though because the smell is quite strong, especially if you're not used to it.
