The Legend
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 colored 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.

To use: Simply smooth directly on with fingertips whenever and wherever needed. Avoid contact with eyes.

I have to agree - this 8 hour balm is effective in curing dry flaky skin. Yes, the smell is less than desiring but it works! It's too thick for everyday use but it soothes sensitive skin or flaky spots. This is the best during the winter and when you have a cold. A co-worker of mine had a sore, red nose from blowing it too much and I gave her this balm and it instantly went away! The flakiness disappeared and she was able to apply cover-up over top without it settling into the cracked skin. I use this also as a hand cream and lip balm when my hands are severely dry and when my lips are super chapped. Definite must-have!

This cream is amazing. The smell may throw you off at first, but it's very effective. A bit thick for everyday use, but perfect for application for dry flaky spots. I prefer to use this at night as a spot treatment.

Is also effective on burns and skin irritations.

This intensive cream is the perfect antidote to chapped lips and dry skin as it sooths and restores rough, dry and irritated skin. If you apply to flaky lips or chapped hands before bed they should be as good as new by morning.

This product is a firm staple in my personal and professional makeup kit and I am yet to find a product to rival it!

I have used the Eight Hour Cream on everything, from dry hands and chapped lips to minor burns and rashes with amazing results.
