It was good enough to use on her horses!!!!
thedragonslady (472 reviews)

I will save my money and use vaseline. This is a good product but please vaseline works just as well! When I worked at Macy's we had this strange lady that would call constantly asking if we had it in and she would buy everything we had, she would come in all wrapped up almost mummy like, her hubby said she uses 10 tubes at least a month!You meet very strange people when you work in cosmetics!! — 3 years, 10 months ago

Orange Grease
Iowillowa (23 reviews)

Unless you are buying this on Elizabeth Arden's website for her Gifts With Purchase, I don't get the hype about this product. It's orange, greasy and smells bad. I can't pet my cat with this handcreame on, and it rubs off on my sheets when I wear it bed. Vaseline has a softer consistancy and does the job just as well. — 1 year, 2 months ago

Heals dry lips and chapped skin
cherrypie (195 reviews)

Love this stuff. I use it on my lips almost every morning. I put it on right after washing my face and by the time I'm done with my makeup it has softened the little flakes on my lips and I just rub them softly with a washcloth and they're left soft and moisturized. I use it whenever my lips feel super dry and even on the skin around my nose which gets red and chapped when I have a cold. It has a high level of petrolatum which is the main work-horse in this product. Love the smell, too. — 1 year, 2 months ago

HORRIBLE!!!
sarai (22 reviews)

I CANNOT BELIVE ALL THE GOOD REVIEWS HERE!!! this is the WORST cream (whatever the darn things it need to be for) the smell is so strong and disgusting!!! and i bought it for the raving reviews it had regarding using it as a lip treatment. now i am a very high end skin care junkie (looove la prairie lol) and at first my snobish skincare brain felt like weird wanting to buy an elizabeth arden product as its not really a "high end brand" (sorry for all you guys that like this brand) but i know that there are times where a great product comes from not the most high end brand so i just bought this cream. i put it on at night on my lips and gosh i wanted to throw up from the smell! and it was so oily on the lips and it felt like it was just sitting on the lips and thats it! listin girls (and guys) if you are like me looking for the GREATEST EVER TREATMENT FOR THE LIPS then just follow what i do and i promise you that you will have an amazing,soft,beautiful,luscious lips!!! so after years of experimenting and trying ALL the brands out there here is what i do...... i use the "SKIN CEUTICALS-antioxidant lip repair",this is a anti aging "serum" treatment for the lips and what it does is that it is a penatrating multi vitamin and anti oxidant serum that hydrates to the deepist layers of the lips and it plumps my lips really nice.(read my review on it here at "total beauty") NIGHT TIME...... first off ,every other night i love to exfoliate my lips(this gives your lips the smoooth texture cause it sweeps the dead skin cells away and that means your lipstick will go on smooooth and beautiful) so what i use for that is the "LUSH- lip scrub" and remember after you do the scrub your lips will be very dry so you MUST put a cream on top of them!!! after the exfoliation i apply the "SKIN CEUTICALS-antioxidant lip repair" serum and then wait 5 min and then....... i apply the AMAZING "darphin age defying lip balm" now this has got to be the most hydrating-heavy duty lip balm i ever had. it is an intense lip balm that i use for night time use only. i just use this as a nightime beauty lip treatment,guys this is really amazing stuf!!! so thats it girls,that is what i do: "lush-lip scrub", every other day "skin ceauticals-antioxidant lip repair",as a serum underneath a lip balm "darphin age defying lip balm" as a nightly lip tratment(after the "SC" lip serum) DAYTIME USE:(OPTIONAL)....... "cle de peau-lip treatment"-,as a lip balm in the morning/daytime(i use this as a "daytime" balm becouse its light,not gloosy,not waxy balm and it gives an amazing feel to the lips,now this would be your "carry around lip balm" as you can smooth it on the lips whenever you feel you need to) have fun guys and if you dont find somthing from these products and you dont know where to order them from then just send me a message and write me what country your from and ill be happy to tell you where to order it from online. sarai from israel:-) — 6 months, 1 week ago

I love it, but it is different
Tiffanys_Face (133 reviews)

They advertise this is a cream, but more of a balm combination. I found this at my local Marshall's Store for $7.99 and heard all about the wonders of this cream for a lot of people. It usually is about $22 and so at $7.99 how could I go wrong. Well, it is absolutely incredible. It works on everything from a complete facial hydration product to the soles of your feet. I have been using it on every part of my body....lips, elbows, neck, feet, face....i could go on and on....It is great stuff....the smell is a little on the intrusive side, but for the benefits, not much of an issue. I have found a new "wonder balm" and I love it....went back and bought 3 more tubes to give to my daugher (who has severe eczema) and my mother. It is addictive for lip care....it lasts forever on your lips and unlike most balms which I used to love (Nivea, Carrots, Burts Bees, etc) it lasts and lasts without reapplication. — 1 year, 2 months ago

WONDERFUL!!!
Mermaid3358 (86 reviews)

this is a great product like all the Eight Hour line from EA/ This sounds really strange, but in the winter my ears dry out really bad...to the point of cracking and bleeding. This is the ONLY thing that I can use that stops it! The lady above who says she will save her money and buy vasaline...no way! This works WAY better!!! — 1 year, 3 months ago

Sucker born every minute
dp7073 (40 reviews)

I read all about how EA created this junk 80 years ago, and how fabulous and curative it is. She was a horse lover and used it on her horses. One lady used it on a child's boo boo and in 8 hours it was all better, and EA was so moved she decided to name the product after this incident. It is a light orange ointment--thick, greasy, and heavy and it spreads poorly. From what I can tell, it is just petroleum jelly and aspirin (which is salicylic acid aka beta hydroxy acid), so it could easily be made at home for much less. Petrolatum is a heavy occlusive, meaning it blocks water loss, but does not add moisture, and salycilic acid is an exfoliant and clearer of pores. — 1 year, 4 months ago

Intensely Moisturizing, but smells "off".
Elessaria (53 reviews)

EA's Eight Hour Skin Protectant is amazing. It is incredibly moisturizing -- perfect for dry, chapped, flaky skin. Unfortunately whenever I used it, I felt as if my skin was burning (and I don't normally have very sensitive skin). It's thick and sort of greasy, so I'd save it for nighttime. Amazing stuff if you can get past the unappealing texture and scent. — 3 years, 7 months ago

Heavy/Thick for extremely dry skin
Jxdavis (53 reviews)

My mother-in-law gave me this for Xmas one year & I was really excited to try it after hearing rave reviews about it from people & in magazines. I was really surprised by how thick & heavy it is. I would never use it on my face again! It felt was difficult to spread & felt greasy. It probably works as a good spot treatment for extremely dry areas, &, for that reason, will last a long time. — 3 years, 7 months ago
