Talk to me about Elizabeth Arden?

[Tippychoocks]

I've heard she's a cow

More advice needed from S&B wise ones please. I have plaque psoriasis on my face that is currently under control and not really noticeable. A friend suggested Elizabeth Arden's 8 hour stuff and gave me the end of a tube to try.
She says it's the original but it's a cream with spf 15 and I remembered it (from years ago) as being a sort of sticky orangey paste iykwim. Has it changed or is there a better version than the face cream one?

The origiaal 8hr cream is sticky and orange and smells imo like TCP. hate it.
Someone did give e the 8hr hand cream and body cream andalthough it still smelt like disinfectant it was not too bad.

Clinique do a nice calming cream for redness/irritated cream. I used to have facial eczema and Clinique suited me best.

so if it worked and I was to buy it, what would I order? Had a look online and it ALL claimed to be original
I don't know if it'll be any good anyway, will bear clinique in mind, thank you, but I am wary of buying without trying as I have spent a huge amount on creams trying to fix myself. Maybe I'll go along for a chat and see if they will give me a sample.

The original 8 hour cream is a different consistency to the body/hand/face versions. It's much thicker - I'm not sure I would be able to use it on my face regularly although I have done for very dry patches of skin in the winter - so it could work for you.

Generally I use it for elbows, knees, etc. I haven't used the face cream but love the body cream - have not found a single other one that touches it to date.

Oh, yes - the original one you remember is indeed orangy in colour. This is the one I use on very dry skin. And the other types are white and more like typical creams / lotions.

Thanks. So the level to which they work or the strength or whatever is constant across the range do we think?
I am also not sure about the sticky on the face but could maybe cope with it at night if it works.

The body one I use is excellent and the effect lasts a long time. I assume the face one would be equally as rich?

It smells much as I remember and is rich but not heavy like a body lotion.
So without being too thick, if I decide to try the sticky one (assuming the EA formula works for me) then what is it called? Is it still in a metal tube as opposed to a plastic one do you know?

Have you tried hydrocortisone cream? It's the only thing that works on my face for psoriaisis.

8hr cream is greasy like cheap vaseline.smells vile

I'd say I've tried everything on the market and dreamed up BOF, including steriod and HC creams.
It's OK now but I live in fear of it flaring up . So I try all sorts.

Am currently washing in nettles and taking stinging nettle pills
