As a "women of a certain age" I have loved this cream for 50 years! I only use it in Winter, on my lips and on my hands and feet, before bedtime. It is very thick and very rich, but worth the money because one jar will last forever. Elizabeth Arden invented this cream before there were many other cosmetic companies; she was a Horse Woman, very accomplished, so she invented creams that helped her own skin. They used to make another cream called "Orange Cream" that was like the Eight Hour, but slightly richer. I remember as a teen reading an interview with Elizabeth Taylor, and she said that the Orange Cream was the one beauty item she would never be without. I bought my first jar the next day! LOL
Its far too rich to use as a moisturizer, but as a "my skin is totally chapped and red" these creams are fabulous!
