Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream has been a beauty staple for women worldwide since the 1930's.

The formula is a combination of petrolatum, a beta-hydroxy in one of its first cosmetic uses, and vitamin E. The name comes from an incident where a user experienced a healed skinned knee "eight hours" after application.

Lots of celebrities swear by it - Victoria Beckham (AKA Posh Spice) is a fan of this classic beauty staple. In October's 2007 InStyle she said,“I swear by Elizabeth Arden’s Eight Hour Cream, David likes it too – we share all our beauty products.”

Ali Larter, star of Heroes, uses this dense moisturizing classic on her lips, fingers, elbows and face.

I, however do not get it. I'd really like to love it, but it is my absolute biggest beauty disappointment. It smells terrible, is incredibly greasy and is extremely difficult to "spread" around on your skin. It feels heavy on the skin. I can not think of one good thing to say about this other than it is defiantly a cult product with a wonderful mystique, and boasts many fans, celebrity and otherwise.

What am I missing?
Does anyone use this...or have any other "Cult" products they either love or hate?
