THE LEGEND Created in 1930 by Elizabeth Arden herself to soothe skin, Eight Hour® Cream Skin Protectant became an instant and overwhelming success.

In addition to its properties as a “skin savior,” the cream’s petrolatum and natural lanolin help smooth strands and moisturize dry ends. It can be smoothed onto skin as protection from windburn, particularly when adventuring outdoors. Run the tiniest amount through eyebrows to groom hairs, helping neaten and define the arch.What makes it so effective A combination of petrolatum, a skin-soothing beta-hydroxy debuting in one of its first cosmetic uses and vitamin E. The apricot-colored balm was so beneficial to her clients that Miss Arden even 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 Hour®s” later, the skin was all better.
