Actress Dame Joanna Lumley, and it's only £4 on Amazon. It's called Astral Face and Body Intensive Moisturiser , and you can buy a 200ml tub for £4 right now. People have loved this "old school" moisturiser ever since it came out in 1953. Dame Joanna Lumley, who is 77, and known for her roles in Ab-Fab and Fool Me Once, said in The Times : "I've been using Astral for 40 years as a moisturiser, cleanser and hand cream . It comes in a little blue pot, cheap as chips - adore! It has never been tested on animals, and is about the only thing I've never developed an allergy to", reports the Daily Record .

It has lanolin to 'help lock in your skin's moisture, creating a protective barrier', and glycerine, to 'hydrate, leaving the skin looking smoothed and feeling softened'. The cream is also handy, because it can be used in the morning and at night. It's not just for your face either as you can use it to soften your skin all over your body. On
Amazon , it has a score of 4.7 out of five stars. Shoppers who say they've been using it for years for "wrinkle free" skin. One person said: "I've used this since I was 5 years old and now 67. People say I look much younger this I put it down to good genes and Astral Cream Moisturiser . For people with dry skin and wrinkles it's definitely worth a try. It's ok moisturiser soaking in straightaway but I prefer a slower process so you know it's there all day and night. If needed those pesky wrinkles under your chin show up pop a tiny smear on, brilliant." Another shopper said: "I have used Astral since my twenties I'm 71 now and have really good skin, wrinkle free, morning and night, always apply first before makeup, good for dry skin, especially hands and feet. Makes me laugh when I see all the expensive creams and lotions advertised, it's Astral for me." One shopper shared: "My mother used to use it and I've used since I was a child. People tell me I look so much younger than my age. At 51 years old I'm starting to get my first wrinkles. Not many people can say that at my age. Still the best product on the market."

I love everything about it. Absorbs well. Softens skin. Is light but highly hydrating. Never again am I wasting my hard earned money on expensive face or handcreams." And someone else added: " Old fashioned cream moisturiser . What can I say but it is good stuff and if its good enough for Joanna Lumley it's good enough for me." However, some folks think the £4 cream feels a bit too "greasy" on their skin. One person wrote: "I found it very greasy, sits on your skin. Not for me." You can buy the Joanna Lumley approved Astral Face and Body Intensive Moisturiser from Amazon for £4 . Astral isn't the only traditional cream with lots of fans. The £5.99 Nivea Creme All Purpose Body Cream for face, hands and body (200ml) is also a favourite for many. You can get it at Boots online here .
