Elizabeth Arden‘s Eight Hour Cream is often called the “cure-all”, and is advertised as so.

However, I hate it. I mean, sure, it packs a punch. But it also packs a pungent odour! It’s not the type of smell to fade, either – it’ll hang around for as long as it moisturises, I promise you that! It is a hardcore moisturiser, but with the department store prices and the aformentioned smell? Not for me!

A great alternative to this would be Vaseline – but hey, we’ll get into that later.

The verdict: Not worth the hype.
