Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant, All Purpose Beauty Salve, Moisturizing Balm for Body, Repairs Dry Hands, Cracked Feet, Chapped Lips & Cuticles

I am a great fan of this product. It has a proprietary mix of Lionel and mineral oils. It’s good for my cracked fingers. As a barber, washing my hands all day. I also use it as a face cream at night. As my eye cream. And to heal cracked heels on my feet. It has a little smell like ginger and lanolin. So don’t expect it to smell like flowers. The smell doesn’t stay with you. I believe Princess Diana used this product as her night cream. And nothing else. It is by Elizabeth Arden, and they still to this day make very quality products. I am a cosmetologist and read the ingredients in products. I did a little homework on this one. And it works! It is a lifesaver.

I have had rosacea on my cheeks for several years now and have been using a prescription cream which keeps it basically under control, with the help of a little makeup. However, a few weeks ago I had a really bad flare up coupled with eczema at the same time (which hasn't happened since I was a teenager) all around my eyes and eyelids and around my lips. It was very painful, the eczema was weeping and crusty under my eyes and my eyes were bloodshot. In a panic I ordered a bunch of products, and this came first.Wow! I was highly skeptical as almost everything causes me to break out in a rash and as well, this is incredibly oily so I thought for sure it would make the rosacea "acne" worse. It came at 2pm and I took a chance and slathered it on. By bedtime I would say I was 25% improved. By the next evening I was 50% better and 2 days later, my skin was back to "normal." At the end of the week I went out without foundation for the first time in years. I am in love with this stuff.Reading the ingredients, I couldn't tell you why it works, but it sure does. It's kind of addictive, I love the way my skin feels. A friend of mine sent me expensive, spa-quality organic moisturizer and it doesn't feel like it does anything compared to this (and it also caused a rash).The only con is that it really is extremely greasy, your face will shine. I just put it on any time I am home alone, and at night. When I wake up in the morning I layer more on for good measure. It's the exact opposite of what I have been doing for years--washing my face often and applying acids. Now I just slather this oily stuff on. If a pimple is coming, I rub this on top and it goes away really fast!In conclusion: it works for acne, it works for rosacea, it works for eczema. No rash or sensitivity whatsoever for me.----***(EDIT) Been using this more than a month now and still no rash or reaction, which is practically a miracle. I have started using it in the day too. I was surprised, but it does soak in and become not oily, quite quickly. It is great under makeup. I have not had to renew my rosacea prescription, which was very expensive, due to this very affordable product.----*** SIX YEARS LATER: it still works. I use a light amount at night. I wouldn't describe myself as suffering from exzema or rosacea anymore.

A little background, I have been suffering from dry skin all year long. Nothing had worked. I even tried putting jojoba oil but it left it a little too oily and then it didn't really worked to moisturize my face. So I came across this and it's has been the best face moisturizer. The thickness is like petroleum jelly so it's perfect. I squeeze a tiny bit, I rub it on my fingers and then that covers my entire face. Once you rub it, it's less thick but once you apply it, it feels so good. It's hard to describe the scent, it's slightly there but not too noticeable. It definitely does its job, I don't have those dry patches anymore (those dry patches are noticeable when wearing makeup, on my forehead). I highly recommend it, it is a bit pricey but if it's going to solve a problem like dryness, I say get it. It's worth investing on it because you know it will work.

Have used this years ago. I really like it! It’s good for around my eyes, backs of my hands and my lips. It so thick and rich. Smells like the highschool hallways though, from the 80’s. Mostly petroleum and lanolin. So if you’re a fan of bag balm, this is for you ladies! With out the udder smells. See what I did there? Ya, it’s that good. But better smelling. It does have a bit of a rancid smell, but don’t worry it’s not. It’s a good emollient, with salicylic acid and other goodies in it. Last a long time, and keeps the wrinkles away. Start using it early around your eyes and backs of your hands. The younger you start the better you will look at my age. I don’t have crows feet yet! Or forehead wrinkles either. Just sayin’ :-)

it’s perfect
