Astalift is a premium anti ageing skincare brand developed by the Fujifilm team where they’ve used their cutting edge, core technologies that they’ve accumulated over 70 years of research and development. Fujifilm found that collagen is not only an essential ingredient within photographic film, but it is also a key component of the skin, whilst antioxidants prevent images from fading in colour and repair and protect the skin from UV damage. Fujifilm have applied this knowledge from their research to create a skincare range and developed the most unique of technologies to prevent UV rays from weakening both collagen and elastin within the skin.
Astalift is available to purchase from Beauty Expert, and they stock a pretty extensive range of their products. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been trialing three products from the Astalift skincare collection, but until trying these products I’ve never tried or heard of the brand before, even though it launched back in 2012, so I was intrigued to see what they were like.
The first product I’ve been testing is Astalift’s bestselling serum; the Astalift Jelly Aquarysta Rejuvenating Concentrate Serum £51.75. The name Aquarysta is derived from ‘aqua’ and ‘crystal’ which symbolises the light as water texture of the clear jelly, and the crystal-clear moisturised skin is said to bring. Astalift recommend applying the serum after cleansing, before you apply your moisturiser and the formula is said to target; dark spots, lines, dull skin.. delivering visibly younger and more luminous skin. The consistency of the Astalist Jelly Aquarysta is so unlike anything else I’ve tried, in that it’s a clear red jelly and you only need a pearl-sized amount per application, which you simply massage into the skin.
Now I am lucky enough not to have any lines/wrinkles yet, nor do I have any dark spots of pigmentation issues.. I do however suffer with very dry and dehydrated skin, so I was hopeful that this wonder product would help inject some much needed moisture into my skin. Once massaged into the skin, it does feel a little tacky for a few minutes but the tackiness does eventually subside thankfully. Once the serum has fully absorbed, my skin instantly feels and looks more hydrated and ‘plumped’ which I assumed would be short lived, but to my surprise, my skin remained feeling hydrated throughout the day. This serum is my favourite from the three products as it really does make a considerable difference to my skin, and the price is pretty high but seeing as you only need a pearl sized amount per use, I’m hoping it’ll last for at least three months which makes the price a little more reasonable at £17 a month.
Next up in the trio I have is the Astalift Revitalizing Moisture Emulsion £29.25, which is recommend to be used after applying the serum. The Astalift Revitalizing Moisture Emulsion contains an innovative formula that utilises the red pigment ‘astaxanthin’ to combat free radical damage and boost collagen production. The lotion is said to minimise the visibility of freckles and skin ageing. Now I have a lot of freckles all over my face and I don’t have an issue with them, so I’m not entirely happy with a product which works to reduce the visibility of freckles as I don’t see freckles as being a bad thing, but I guess some people might. The Emulsion is designed to increase the skin’s hydration whilst working to balance oil and water absorption of the skin, preserving moisture from within.
The Emulsion has a lightweight lotion consistency which is quick and easy to massage into the skin without any greasiness or residual tackiness. I think this lotion works well as a base before I apply my makeup primer as it leaves my skin looking and feeling soft and smooth, but I cannot honestly say I’ve noticed an improvement to my skin with this lotion alone like I’ve seen with the Aquarysta so if you were going to choose one or the other, I’d have to recommend the Aquarysta Serum but the Emulsion is still a nice enough light moisturiser.
Lastly I have the Astalift Nurturing Eye Cream £29.25 which is targeted towards wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles. It contains an uplifting formula combines astaxanthin with nano-Lycopene to pamper the eye area, leaving it feeling revitalised and looking radiant. As far as eye creams go, this has quite a rich formula so you only need a grain of rice sized amount per eye or you’ll have issues with your under-eye concealer. As I mentioned above, fine lines and wrinkles isn’t a concern just yet but I do suffer with puffy eyes every morning especially during the Summer when my hayfever is at its worse, as well as dark circles.
The first improvement I noticed within only a few days was that the cream had diminished all of the dryness around my eyes which I’m really pleased about as I’ve never found an eye cream that gets rid of dryness completely. I’ve even used a little of this eye cream on my dry patches as it made such a difference. I do definitely agree that it reduces puffiness, but I have tried more impressive depuffing treatments but I’m more than happy with the effect it has on my puffy eyes and my dryness. I think this tube is going to last me for such a long time as it’s so incredibly rich, so again it should last for at least three months which I think is pretty good going.
So overall I’m pretty pleased with my first foray into Astalift Skincare. Have you ever tried any of the Astalift products? Are there any products that you’d recommend?
