Not sure is astral cream has lanolin in it but i use Aqueous cream i don't think it contains lanolin but worth looking into. It is cheap and works really well.

it contains lanolin.

I have found boots cheapo vitamin E cleanser and toner to be really good and about 70p each.

Yep it definately contains lanolin, I too am 'gifted' with very reactive skin and it was like someone had thrown acid in my face when I tried Astral. I looked like the singing detective!

Saying that my MIL has used it all her adult life and has great skin

Some of the beauty magazines have been raving about the anti aging cream sold by Aldi at under £3 a pot.

There is a thread on it here somewhere and others have been impressed by a similar cream sold by Lidl.

For anyone that has an Aldi or Lidl wihin traveling distance it could be worth a try.
