"Signs of dryness and cracking are reversed so hands look and feel soft and
touchable.
The Legend
Created in 1930 by Elizabeth Arden to soothe skin, Eight Hour Cream Skin
Protectant became an instant and overwhelming success. What made it so
effective is a combination of petrolatum, a skin-soothing beta-hydroxy in
one of its first cosmetic uses, and vitamin E. The apricot coloured balm
was so beneficial to her clients, Miss Arden 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 hours later the skin was all better."
