Elizabeth Arden Eight-Hour Cream Set:

The set includes:
Eight Hour Cream Intensive Daily Moisturizer - 15ml
Eight Hour Cream Intensive Moisturizing Hand Treatment - 30 ml
Eight Hour Cream Intensive Moisturizing Body Treatment - 50 ml
And finally, the Eight Hour Cream itself - the legendary eight-hour cream - 50 ml.

All about everything in a box with a ribbon - about 25 pounds in the online store. (Apparently, in connection with Christmas, the sets from the sale disappeared).

Eight Hour Cream is truly a legendary product.
If you allow, and if you never know who is not in the know, then we will delve a little into history. So that you, so to speak, do not climb into Wikipedia once again)

Well, for starters, Elizabeth Arden is the "business pseudonym" for Florence Nightingale Graham, born in 1884 in Canada.

As it turned out, the Elizabeth Arden brand at one time made a real revolution in the cosmetic market.

Thanks to Elizabeth Arden, everyday makeup in America became the norm, foundation began to be matched to skin tone, and cosmetic "collections" appeared, which consisted of matching products.

The brand had showrooms all over the world. The address of the first of them - on Fifth Avenue in New York - gave the name to the famous fragrance 5th Avenue.

They say that Florence herself was an extraordinary woman and even went to marry a Russian prince in exile - Mikhail Evlanov.

Anyway.

After the death of the founder in 1966, Elizabeth Arden, albeit with significant losses, continued to exist. Sold several times, currently owned by FFI, about which I was too lazy to look for anything on the Internet.

One can say about Elizabeth Arden - they have sunk in: the company releases fragrances Britney Spears (Curious, etc.) and Mariah Carey - but, as they say, it doesn’t happen to anyone. In addition to "compotics", the company maintains a fairly extensive line of care products, among which, of course, Eight Hour Cream occupies a special place.

A kind of legend is associated with the creation and name of this cream.
As you know, Florence was fond of horses, and so the composition of the eight-hour cream was originally developed to treat injuries to beloved horses (hello, hello, Alezan))). So.
And then this cream was allegedly smeared on the bruised knee of a certain boy. The knee healed overnight, and at the suggestion of the boy's enthusiastic mother, the cream was called the eight-hour cream.

What's in the composition?
Close your eyes to lovers of natural and organic cosmetics.

Composition of Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant: Petrolatum, Lanolin, Mineral Oil, Tocopherol, BHT, Salicylic Acid, Castor Sedd Oil, Vegetable Oil, Corn Oil, Parfum, Citral, Citronellol, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool, Propylparaben, Iron Oxides.

Agree, a terrible thing is (oil) chemistry on (oil) chemistry. But, you know, at the beginning of the 20th century there was neither NTV nor the First to explain to unintelligent women that mineral oil is a-ta-ta. Then, invented literally 59 years ago, Vaseline seemed like a panacea for all ailments and was indispensable in the cosmetic industry: it will heal your wounds and burns faster, soften your skin, and almost make your hair with eyelashes grow faster.

But even in our enlightened time, the legend of Eight Hour Cream continues to live: it is "recommended by leading makeup artists" and now and then Skin Protectant flashes in magazines, foreign ones, at least.

Well, what can I tell you - it's not just that.
I don't know what's wrong, but this cream really works.
Yes, it stinks of shoe polish, yes, it leaves an oily film, but it really softens the skin and promotes healing processes - I can tell you, as a peeling lips person.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
About everything in order.
Here is the contents of the box:

From left to right: 8-Hour Protective Cream, Body Cream, Hand Cream and Face Cream.

Again, from left to right, Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant, Eight Hour Cream Intensive Moisturizing Bode Treatment, Eight Hour Cream Intensive Moisturizing Hand Treatment, Eight Hour Cream Intensive Daily Moisturizer for Face SPF 15.

As I have already said, all products of this series have a characteristic chemical, I would say shoe polish, smell.
This smell is most pronounced in the eight-hour cream - in the photo it is transparent and reddish.

The manufacturer offers many uses for this miracle cream:
- first of all, moisturizing the whole body: from the heels to the ends of the hair;
- secondly, the cream has a soothing effect on the skin after hair removal or mild burns;
- styling eyebrows - will shine, spike and stay in place;
- protection from extreme weather conditions;
- creating a wet-look - on the cheekbones and eyelids to give a wet effect.

I must say that of all the proposed, I managed to test only the moisturizing properties of the cream: on the lips and hands. I like the softening effect.

I also liked the face cream from the set - it has a pleasant texture and a killer composition, which I don’t even have the slightest desire to deal with. There is sun protection, which is probably a plus. The cream does not really moisturize, but rather softens the skin, does not leave a greasy film, make-up fits well.

Creams for the body and hands separately are not of particular interest. For the body - it is mixed with water and shea butter, therefore it is thicker and more pleasant in texture, the hand cream is more "fluid" and works best when mixed with Eight Hour Cream Protectant.

In summary, if you do not shy away from petrochemical care products, then at least an eight-hour cream can be in your arsenal as a remedy for all occasions.

Everything else is secondary and less interesting.
Separately, the cream costs about 900 rubles. for 50 ml. - generally speaking, a little expensive for petroleum jelly and mineral oil with vitamin E.

But, in general, I rate the experience as positive and, probably, I will repeat Skin Protectant and try Elizabeth Arden lip balm from the same series - especially since some interesting designs have appeared.

Have you tried anything from this brand and the eight-hour series in particular?
There is a desire?

I did not abandon the rubric about probes, today I have a debriefing on two nutritious anti-aging products: eye cream Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Premiere Regeneration Eye Cream and intensive capsules Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Daily Youth Restoring Serum Capsules.
In general, I have an ambiguous attitude towards the brand, I wrote several reviews (tag ), where she often scolded either the compositions, or the effect, or both. In general, I have a rather negative attitude, but I try to evaluate any product as objectively as possible, without thinking about how I feel about the brand as a whole.

Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Premiere Intense Moisture and Renewal Regeneration Eye Cream

Compound:
Water/Aqua/ Eau oceteth-20 Acetate, Pentylene Glycol, MyristylMyristate, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Behenyl Alcohol, Ceteth-20, Ceramide 1, Ceramide 3, Ceramide 6 II, FucusSerratus Extract, Yeast Extract/Faex/Extrait De Levure, RetinylTallate, Tocopheryl Acetate, CetearylDimethiconeCrosspolymer, Soy Amino Acids, 3 -Aminopropane Sulfonic Acid, Calcium Hydroxymethionine, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Phytosphingosine, PunicaGranatum Sterols, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5, Sodium LauroylLactylate, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium AcryloyldimethylTaurate Copolymer, MyristylLaurate, Polysorbate 20, Polysorbate 60, SorbitanIsostearate, Carbomer , Hydroxyethylcellulose, Xanthan Gum, Edta , Bht, Disodium Edta, Mica, Tin Oxide, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Methylparaben, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate, Propylparaben, Sodium Benzoate, Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891).

The composition of the cream is generally good: it is saturated with nutritional and anti-aging components, there is also a ceramide complex (they nourish and restore), shea butter, algae and yeast extracts, soy amino acids and proteins, calcium, peptide and a special development of this brand - a retinol complex, components in which they are selected so that retinol (and it is contained here) should not give a negative even on sensitive skin, but it should have an anti-aging effect. For aging and dry skin of the eyelids, this is a good option, the cream should nourish it and make it denser.
But the composition is not entirely harmless in terms of harmful components: there is bht , a component that I try to avoid (although I do not panic if it is still in the purchased product). But the fact that there are so many preservatives at the end (several types of parabens, phenoxyethanol, potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate), on the contrary, is not bad, since each of the preservatives should be at such a minimum here that their potential harm is reduced to the limit.
The consistency of the cream is not very dense, but still oily, although it is absorbed normally on dry skin of the eyelids. It seems to nourish the skin well, but it seemed to me that the eyelids lacked moisture, something was missing in the effect, it seemed that the skin was not so elastic or something ... It did not affect mimic wrinkles in any way, but I used it for a very short time.
After about 5 days of use, I felt that the cream began to irritate my eyes, a few minutes after application, they began to water and itching appeared, although I applied the cream away from the eyes themselves. I put it aside (fortunately, the cream is VERY economical and the probes lasted for a long time), after a while I started using it again - and the itching appeared again. Nevertheless, retinol showed its negative essence, although, perhaps, this is my reaction to some other component (or a mixture / combination of components).

Where to buy and price: on lookfantastic.com and on feelunique.com (price without discount £46.00/15 ml).
*In such posts, I do not rate, as this is a review after a short use. But for orientation and for searching, I put ratings in tags;).

Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Daily Youth Restoring Serum Capsulesx60

Compound:
Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Squalene, Cyclohexasiloxane, Isostearic Acid, Ceramide 1, Ceramide 6 II, Borage Seed Oil, Linoleic Acid, Linolenic Acid, RetinylLinoleate, RetinylPalmitate, Tocopherol, Phytosphingosine, Oleic Acid, Hexadecanolide.

At first glance, it may seem that the composition is not very pleasant: you can immediately see two silicones at the base, for everything else seems to be you may not look. But this is not so, then there are components that have exceptional nutritional and regenerating properties. already in small doses, and silicones here serve as a comfortable base for them, and on dry aging skin they will not do anything bad (namely, these capsules are intended for such skin), on the contrary, they will make the application more pleasant.

So, there is vitamin A in two forms, squalene, a complex of ceramides, borage oil (it is rich in fatty gamma-linolenic acid), vitamin E, phytosphingosine (participates in the synthesis of sphingolipids necessary to build the epidermal barrier) and other components - they are all aimed to restore the protective barrier, to intensive nutrition, to stimulate the production of collagen and to make the skin smooth.
I used these capsules in the winter (I applied it as a serum under a cream in the morning and evening) and at that time they turned out to be almost magical for me - inside each capsule there is an oil that I rubbed between my palms and applied to my face and neck, as a result it was instantly absorbed and the skin felt great - the product nourishes the skin very well, removes peeling and relieves irritation, after several applications on dry areas it became more dense. Moreover, due to the saturation of the composition, it does it very quickly, faster than just a mixture of oils (although I really love natural mixtures of oils and always use them as serums for cream, I cannot but admit that these capsules outperform any natural oil mixture, since the effect is more pronounced here).

My skin is not yet so dry, and not so aged/thinned skin, to constantly use such capsules, I do not need such a strong drink yet (besides, my skin may be prone to inflammation in the t-zone, in which case these capsules will definitely be superfluous for constant care). But here age, "parchment", dry and thin skin I highly recommend them, they are really effective and will suit any skin care (I mean, under any cream).

By the way, one capsule was enough for me twice: I cut it, then squeezed it out a little and inserted the rest into a small jar so that the capsule did not turn over, and squeezed out the rest in the evening. Due to the fact that this remedy is in capsules, there are no preservatives in it, but nothing happens to the contents during the day;).
Oh yes, and the contents of the capsules do not smell of anything at all.

Launch of a multi-million dollar brand founded a small cosmetics shop that Florence Nightingale Graham opened with a companion named Elizabeth in 1910. But the joint work did not work out, and Florence decided to open her own business, taking the pseudonym Elizabeth Arden (Elizabeth Arden).

His discovery was mascara and eye shadow, which at one time were used only by movie stars.

Gradually, Florence opens salons in Europe and America, and wins more and more clients around the world. Elizabeth Arden is a true innovator in the cosmetics business.

It was she who first released a cosmetic line for men and organized the first SPA resort.

In 1922 under the brand Elizabeth Arden (Elizabeth Arden) not only skin care products began to appear, but also perfumes.

hello beautiful girls :-)
we continue the topic about the heroism of my husband about gifts for my birthday :-)
I got a set from Elizabeth Arden with ceramides.
Before this miracle of the chemical industry fell into my hands, I am ashamed to say that I had never heard of Elizabeth Arden or these same ceramides, but when this case came to me, I became Very Interesting.
So let's get started :-)

Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Capsules Daily Youth Restoring Serum x60

The ceramides or ceramides themselves, I still haven’t figured out what this miracle is called in the amount of 60 pieces, they are enclosed in a beautiful plastic gold jar with a transparent window on the lid, which opens by pressing it, I broke a whole nail until I understood how it opens


The capsules themselves, according to the manufacturer, saturate the skin with healing ceramides and essential lipids, strengthening the skin barrier and preventing visible signs of aging. Each monodose capsule contains a concentrated serum that helps to strengthen and restore the skin's protective barrier, improve skin tone and complexion, promote collagen production and improve elasticity.
This ball itself contains a transparent slightly oily liquid, which the manufacturer recommends applying to a cleansed face before applying the cream.
After a bunch of failures with leaving Shiseido, which, as it turned out, did not suit my skin type, I went to the IDB with a consultant I knew. She reassured me, said that the pores would not clog if applied correctly and if a heavy cream was not applied on top, she also recommended that I use not the entire course at once, but in weekly courses. I apply with pressing movements, wait a couple of minutes and apply the cream.
I've been testing for almost a month, I can say that I found the following effect on myself:
1. the skin has become more elastic
2. evened out skin color
3. pores are not clogged
4. brightened post-acne spots
5. deep facial wrinkles on the forehead became less pronounced
but I got this effect not from some ceramides, but from a whole range of products, because in the set there were day and night cream with ceramides and a cream for the eye area as miniatures.
Grade: 5, I liked it despite the huge number of conflicting reviews
Now let's talk about them :-)
Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Lift and Firm Day Cream SPF 30PA++

I got a 15 ml miniature with a shelf life of 12 months from the moment the jar was opened

The Ceramide Lift and Firm Series contains Ceramide Triple Complex (Ceramide 1, Ceramide 3 and Ceramide 6) to firm and improve skin texture while providing superior hydration. The innovative Ceramide Plumping Technology offers a powerful combination of SNAP-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3) and Hibiscus Seed Extract to provide powerful collagen, elastin and protein repair to visibly plump, lift and firm skin.
Again, I say right away, I have never been scared and are not scared by age restrictions on cosmetics, I think that this is nonsense, although I may not be right.

on the bottom there is an instruction for teapots, which says that the cream should be applied to cleansed skin in the morning after using the ceramide capsule.
For daily use for my oily skin, such a cake, and even under heavy makeup, in order to hide all sorts of bad things, will be difficult, because in the morning I arranged a procedure for myself only on weekends, when I had time to let all this disgrace soak in :-)
I can say that the cream didn’t clog my pores, it smells nice, it is absorbed relatively quickly, it spreads easily over the skin, after it the skin is well hydrated, nourished, without excess oiliness, at the same time, mimic wrinkles are visually smoothed out a little, again I am pleased with the presence of the SPF factor, which important to me pale-faced. In general, I plan to buy myself a full-size version and continue to spa my skin on weekends :-)
Grade: 5
Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Lift and Firm Night Cream

a jar of night cream looks absolutely identical and also has instructions on the bottom


The instruction calls for us to apply the cream at night on cleansed skin after using the cermaid capsules, which I did periodically.
And you know, I liked the effect.
The cream is absorbed a little longer than the day cream, but it is also thicker in its consistency when compared.
Smells good, easy to apply.
The cream did not clog my pores, which I was afraid of from him, since I have the most difficult relationship with night care products. It contains SPF again, for which I did not understand :-)
Of course, you have to be patient and wait until it is absorbed, I need 10 minutes for this, after which you can safely fit in without fear of leaving a precious remedy on your husband’s pillow or shoulder :-)
In the morning, I found nourished, fresh, radiant, and not greasy, skin with faded post-acne spots and slightly smoothed out wrinkles. It didn’t have a worsening effect on existing inflammations, I liked it, I plan to buy a full-size version.
Grade: 5
in conclusion Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Lift and Firm Eye Cream SPF 15

The cream is designed for mature skin and contains SPF 15.
There is also a microscopic instruction on the bottom that I could not catch even on a macro urging us to apply the cream as a standard after cleansing on the area around the eyes, avoiding getting the product into the eyes.
I have complaints about the cream for the area around the eyes, since even a full-size package is a jar without a pump, dispenser or anything, well, I just don’t like products for the area around the eyes that need to be picked out with my hands, I don’t know why.
Nevertheless, the properties of the cream is simply beautiful. The only thing is that I applied it exclusively at night, as the cream has a very rich, if not greasy texture that takes a long time to absorb, but this may be my individual reaction, and I am not ready to wait 15-20 minutes in the morning until the cream is absorbed. I suspect that this may be a sign that this cream is not suitable for me, but the condition of my skin around the eyes after using it suggests otherwise. Wrinkles, swelling disappear, everything that should not be around the eye disappears :-)
I really like this cream also due to its economy, in my 10 ml jar, if I'm not mistaken, and I haven't used anything at all yet, but I use it for almost a month every day.
It smells nice, it is distributed perfectly, moisturizing is beyond praise, but the jar upset me and anyway I will buy the full-size version and enjoy it :-)
Grade: 5
