Astalift - A Fujifilm Prduct ?!

Brand: AstaLift

Date : May 2012

Place: MidValley, Jusco, Astalift Counter

Method: A newspaper redemption cutover in 1 of the local Chinese News Paper.

Link/Facebook: www.astalift.com.my

Additional Information : Apparently this is a high range $$ product, which I didn't know about it until first saw the newspaper redemption. It is a product of FujiFilm … yeah, kind of surprise.

I also taken the skin tests and then product range test as well. The redemption is for the whitening series, while I tested the product on the anti-aging/special care range. Tested their star product, the Jelly Aquacrysta which cost around RM400++ for 40g, claim to be able to help your skin to absorb for the next products that going to apply on the face. My only comment on the test would be I don't really feel very very oily (which I used to have) after applying so many product on my face. But can't really tell anything else besides that.

Additional Information :

I was having quite bad skin problem due to unknown cause. I suspect it would be one of the skincare product that I used that cause irritation on my face. Small white heads grow healthily on my face, they are just too many until my beautician was so worried about it !

I stopped all the product as I was not sure which one causing the problem, and that time also because I need to travel and in-need of only bringing travel sized skincare, so I decided to give it a try on this Stem Cell series.

For about a week of fully usage of the range, apparently my white heads started to disappear, or at least, they are shrinking !! Very amazing, especially I am super sensitive to BB Cream, but this BB cream seems work well on my face. Overall, I like this series very much. Only draw back would be the packaging is big, but the content is actually quite little, so it won't last long (say, less than 2 weeks usage).
