Eight Hour® Cream Skin Protectant

Eight Hour® Cream Skin Protectant is the legendary multi-tasking balm created by Elizabeth Arden in 1930 to soothe, protect, and moisturise skin. Its uses are virtually endless: it seals in moisture on dry hands, feet, and lips, soothes minor irritations, burns, scrapes, and abrasions, smooths cuticles and nails, tames and shapes brows, and adds a luminous sheen to cheekbones. Apply liberally as often as needed, anywhere on the body. Explore the full Eight Hour® Cream collection to discover all available formats and formulas.

The original Eight Hour® Cream has a distinctive light, herbal fragrance with fresh citrus undertones that has become iconic in its own right. For those who prefer a softer scent, the Eight Hour® Cream Skin Protectant Lightly Scented offers a more subtle fragrance experience.

Yes. Eight Hour® Cream is a beloved multi-use facial staple among makeup artists and beauty lovers worldwide. On the face, it can be used to soothe dry or tight skin, add a dewy glow to cheekbones, smooth and shape brows, and condition the lips. Its petrolatum-based formula creates a protective barrier that seals in moisture without irritating skin. For a formula specifically developed for facial use, explore the Eight Hour® Cream collection for targeted options including a dedicated lip treatment and face moisturiser.

Apply Eight Hour® Cream liberally as often as needed. Because it is a skin protectant rather than a traditional moisturiser, it works by creating a protective barrier over the skin to lock in hydration and aid the skin's natural recovery process. For very dry or chapped areas, apply generously and reapply throughout the day as needed. It is gentle enough for frequent use on the face, hands, lips, and body.
