A perennial favourite, this cream helps relieve chapped, cracked and dry skin. Use to shape brows, revitalise shine and smooth cuticles.
What we say:
‘Finally, I’ve found something that actually offers instant relief for cracked skin! Whenever I do any hand washing or wash the dishes, my fingertips – specially the thumbs, actually – get painful cracks that make my life a misery. They don’t look like anything dramatic but the pain is out of proportion when compared to their appearance, and even running my fingers through my hair makes me want to scream. I’ve tried putting plasters on them, but they just get wet when I wash my hands and make things worse. Elizabeth Arden’s Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant is a wonderful, thick, waxy cream reminiscent of beeswax, and it has a fresh, herby fragrance unlike many other products like this. Wonderful stuff! I’ll definitely keep it on hand in future (no pun intended). The only downside is I won’t have any more excuses for not doing the washing…’

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 got this product as a sample, I usually use it after washing the dishes and at night. It’s really good for very dry and cracked hands.
I got a sample of this from Edgars, and it made my hands feel wonderful. That said I don’t think I would buy it because of the price and the fact that each time I buy my Clarins face products from Dischem I get a mini hand cream that goes straight into my handbag.
Love this product!
I always have this in my bag, but it doesn’t really work for my skin. I dislike that petroleum is the first ingredient.
I need this, sounds like it was sent from heaven.
I use this everywhere. It is great for winter lips and burns as well.
I love this product. I was given a sample and I have been hooked ever since. It is such a versatile product which adds to its appeal.
I was introduced to the Elizabeth Arden’s Skincare product range by my cousin and since that I can say I have been their unknown product ambassador. I love all their products and recommend them to friends, family, clients and people in general everyday!
Most if their 8 hour creams have the strangest smell
