I have been using Astral for years and I always have some (quite a lot actually) in the house. I have the big jar for every day use and I have some smaller sizes for my handbag or travel. Over the years I’ve become a more and more lazy shopper, so I’d much rather one product covered a range of uses. Astral has always ticked lots of boxes for me because the whole family uses it, even the husband on occasion. Recently though I’d run out of night cream and started using Astral for that. I’ve always done this occasionally like when I’m travelling (why take two creams when you can take one?), but this was every day at home. Not only is it considerably cheaper than the average night cream, but it saved me a trip to the shops which has got to be good. I’m not sure that I’m going to bother going back to a special cream either because Astral just the job as well if not better.
Astral recently sent me a box of goodies and I was surprised to see the Astral Soft product in the box as I wasn’t aware of that. I tend to use the original astral cream for dry areas like hands and feet. Generally I find the original Astral a little thick for all over body moisturising, but the Astral Soft version is perfect for that. It glides on easily and doesn’t leave my skin feeling greasy.
I remember pinching some of my grans Astral when I was younger lol I will need to start buying it for myself as I loved how my skin felt after using it

My God mother used to use astral. I remember her popping in on my knees when I fell over
I have used Astral for about 20 years now, I love the stuff x
My mother in law used to use these and I loved the smell
I am ashamed to say I have never heard of it before. Will keep and eye out for it
I have used this in the past and it is quite a good cream for dry elbows which is where I find it most effective x
This brand is a blast from the past! My mum used to have Astral when I was a kid. I didn’t realise it was still available!
oh my goodness, there’s a blast from the past that I completely forgot about. I bet it’s really great for putting on over night and getting a silky smooth face in the morning
Sounds like a good, multipurpose, reliable cream, my mum used to have something similar in the house when we were growing up.xx
I cant believe I’ve never heard of this! I will definitely keep an eye out for it as it sounds great
Ooh its nice that they do a lighter version!
I could do with trying a new moisturiser. Great review.
This sounds rather lovely, I remember the name Astral and I can picture the packaging but I’m not sure from where. Always in need of hand and feet moisturisers. Well I say that my feet always get neglected!
I have never heard of Astral before! It sounds great though and I’ll definitely look out for it now!
this looks interesting will have to take a look onto it.
My granny was always a big fan of Astral. I have terrible skin and have always been a little reluctant to try it as it always seemed so thick, but I know she swore by it!
