Elizabeth ArdenEight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Lip Balm Stick SPF15, 3.7g, for Nourished, Hydrated, Smooth Lips, Travel-Friendly, Unisex

As a man with recently dry lips, I was on the hunt for a high-quality lip balm, and the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick has fully met my expectations. This balm leaves my lips feeling hydrated and smooth. The sturdy case has a premium feel and closes with a satisfying click, adding to the overall quality. This product isn’t just for women; it’s a fantastic choice for anyone seeking effective lip care. Highly recommend!

This lip balm is a winter essential for my lips. The balm creates an effective moisture barrier that actually heals rather than just masking dryness. Shea butter and vitamin E repair damaged skin, while petrolatum locks in hydration. The honey and beeswax provide natural conditioning properties that transformed my painful, cracked lips into smooth, comfortable ones within hours. Unlike other balms that require constant reapplication, this one stays put for hours without feeling sticky. For anyone struggling with winter-ravaged lips, this repair balm delivers remarkable results that justify the price tag! It has a menthol smell and would love it if they'd come in different scents! Definitely worth a try!

Another go to product from the 8 hour range, that does exactly as it says, I would not be without this product. Perfect to use as a lip balm but also under your fav lippy

The lipstick itself is good but the consistency is too soft and when I apply it, the stick ruins and can fall out

Excellent product and a great price

This is an absolutely lovely product and leaves your lips feeling lovely in the winter months - but for £10, it only lasted me a month. Not much product at all. Worth the price for the quality though.

Excellent for the lips. I use this every day and I’ve also got the 8 hour night repair balm. I suffer autoimmune disease that makes my lips extremely dry and I’ve tried every product on the market. Okay you pay a wee bit but in the long run it’s nothing at all. It’s a godsend to me. Highly recommend it 😁

It's got castor oil and lanolin oil, on top of 30% petrolatum jelly (i.e. blue Vaseline), so it combines the occlusive, emollient and humectant properties of all 3. Some people get allergic reactions to lanolin so be careful. Doesn't seem bad on me though. Vaseline on its own is actually pretty effective for dry lips, but it is an occlusive and not a humectant - it stops moisture from lips evaporating into the air but doesn't really add any moisture to lips, so some other stuff is needed to add moisture to lips, especially if you have very dry lips. My lips got even drier as a result of perimenopause, so although petrolatum jelly used to be enough for me, now it's not quite. You don't get a lot of product for the money though - if you use the Elizabeth Arden stick daily, I think you will run out in a month or two. Vaseline can last for a very long time and only cost around £2 for a large jar. I used to put a layer of Vaseline on my lips before sleeping, but now I put a layer of this before putting Vaseline on my lips... I find this creates a better moisturising effect for my lips than Vaseline or using this Elizabeth Arden stick alone. I even now apply 3% hyaluronic acid on my lips now before putting this and Vaseline on my lips before bed, for even better hydrating effects.I use the Elizabeth Arden stick as a primer before putting on matte lipsticks (which are my favourite). Rather than just smearing it on my lips the usual way you'd apply lipstick - which produces too much of an oily sheen, I just blot it quite firmly onto my lips. Then I use a tissue to blot out any excess oiliness from it, before applying my lipstick. This way, it doesn't change the consistency of the lipstick. During the day when my lips feel dry again but the lipstick is still on, I again blot it on to the lipstick on my lips quite firmly. This does change the consistency or appearance of the lipstick, and is the most effective way to hydrate lips during the day when wearing matte lipstick.The smell of this stuff isn't very nice for a cosmetic product as it reminds me of the smell of equestrian stores. But it is actually pretty tasteless so it doesn't actually taste as bad as it smells.I do agree for the ingredients in this product, it does seem a bit overpriced. There are no fancy ingredients or vegetable or plant oils in this stick. Really, it's main active ingredients are what I mentioned above (castor oil, lanolin oil and petrolatum jelly) plus tocopherol (vit E) and beeswax , all extremely commonplace cosmetic ingredients that don't cost much, plus sun protection factor (padimate O and oxybenzone). It is in a very portable stick form so I like it better than fiddling around with jars of balm or Vaseline. Also has a high end appearance which I think many people would like.At Amazon the price is around half of what it costs in the high street, which makes it more worthwhile. Otherwise I probably wouldn't spend the actual price to pay for these kinds of ingredients. To be fair, I've found a good lip balm now that costs less than a quarter of the price of this - it's the O'Keeffe's Lip Repair (unscented) which does not produce any oiliness/sheen at all but does an even more amazing job at moisturising lips than the Elizabeth Arden eight hour lip balm stick, so I won't be repurchasing the Elizabeth Arden one anymore.
