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.
