Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Hand Cream is a bluddy miracle

[Sparkletastic]

My hands are always pretty dry but never more so then when dealing with the delights of clearing up after DD2 who has rampant D and V. The past few days have been a non-stop whirl of washing up the sick bowl, scrubbing PJs and bedding, and bathing DD2. My order of Liz Arden 8 Hour Hand Cream just arrived (good price from www.fragrancedirect.com) and my hands look like somebody else's - a smooth young person's for example, after only one application!

I had to share....

Mine has just had the D&V too, so I hear ya!

I am using the new double strength Q10 Plus Nivea Hand and it is coping quite well - I am impressed with it.

I have always wanted to try the 8 hour stuff though. Thanks for the tip.

It is a firm favorite here to. Pity it stinks to high heaven

Stinks of what?

Just stinks. It was originally intended for horse hooves.

It does stink, doesn't it - like rotten eggs. I can't use it for this reason

Agree, it is good but it doesnt smell nice at all. Smells like an ointment/medicine rather than a beauty cream.

I like the smell - sort of like coal tar soap and rosemary.

I haven't used the hand cream though, but desperately need it .

Smells of Preparation H...so a friend told me.

I love, love, love the original 8 hour stuff - the smell doesn't bother me one little bit.

But the hand cream? Good though it is the smell does put me off. It's pretty strong.

It works but it smells of TCP or something like that.

How weird - I totally agree that 8 Hour Cream proper smells somewhat medicinal (although I love it all the same) but the hand cream doesn't have the same smell at all I don't think. It is much milder / more soapy-smelling and isn't the same sticky formula so sinks in immediately. BUT - I have got a cold so could be that I'll agree with you once the snot subsides
