All about: Elizabeth Arden Great 8™ Moisturizer and Sunscreen SPF 35

Pretty much every woman I know is familiar with Elizabeth Arden’s world famous Eight Hour Cream, which now has a skincare collection built around it that regularly gets some stellar reviews. The latest tool they’ve added to the Eight Hour arsenal is called Great 8™ Daily Defense Moisturizer Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 35, and it’s a true a do-it-all beauty multi-tasker like its original namesake that serves as your trusted skincare sidekick for wherever life takes you.  As an extension to the iconic Eight Hour line, it works triple duty as a primer, moisturiser and SPF.  More than just your average moisturiser, more than an SPF, the brand calls Great 8™ “your all-in-one protector and perfector”.  How cute is that? 

As per the name, it comes packed with 8 benefits in one simple step, protecting against the damaging effects of sun, blue light, infrared and pollution, as it hydrates, purifies, brightens and fights excess oil.  Its super high performance – and unique – ingredient deck is pretty cool too, and includes:

African Whitewood Tree Bark Extract: Visibly reduces oil on skin and the appearance of pores 

Deep Sea Organism Ferment: Derived from an ocean organism that thrives under extreme conditions, it helps protect, calm and soothe skin from harsh environmental exposure

White Horehound Flower Extract: Helps neutralise oxidative stress on skin’s surface and helps reduce the signs of aging, while also protecting from effects of pollution and blue light

Vitamin E Analog: Purifies skin for a more radiant look

Clary Sage: Brightens and evens skin tone 

Japanese Bloodgrass Extract: Provides long- lasting hydration by attracting water to the surface of the skin

Great 8™ is ideal for all skin types, and its semi-translucent, lightweight gel formula literally melts into the skin on contact leaving no white cast or residue. The light as air finish really is a winner under all kinds of makeup too – from mineral to liquid and powder formulas and more. 

With an RRP of $69 and available right now, this beauty really is a no-brainer if you’re after a no-nonsense, great moisturiser and sunblock with a multi-pronged approach. It comes highly recommended.
