I usually buy Astalift in bulk twice a year during the shareholder benefits period, but I saw it in a catalog and it caught my eye, so I bought it. It's a beauty serum that's supposed to be for whitening, and supposedly makes it less likely to get sunburned, but I didn't really notice any effect. However, it was very light and pleasant to use, so I think it's a good addition to your summer beauty routine. That said, I don't think I'll buy it again because I'm not sure about the price or the effectiveness.
I also like the texture, so I bought the refill as a repeat purchase. Based on previous reviews, it's a cloudy, thick, yet refreshing serum that I really like. It's a whitening product, so I don't like it being too runny, but it's more refreshing than a lotion and is easy to blend. It's a quasi-drug, and it contains tranexamic acid (an anti-inflammatory and whitening active ingredient) and sterial glycyrrhizinate (an anti-inflammatory active ingredient), so I think Astalift is a very reliable brand. It's 40ml, but if you use it regularly morning and night, it runs out pretty quickly, so I'd be happy if they offered a larger bottle. I purchased it from Suzykireistore.
I love the sweet scent and refreshing, gel-like texture. It's irreplaceable in its approach to melanocyte stem cells, and it can be used like a moisturizing serum. I might buy it again!
I have sensitive skin, and if I'm not careful with whitening serums, my skin can get so itchy I want to scratch it, or I can get eczema. In fact, whitening serums containing kojic acid didn't work for me, so I ended up just using Vaseline until it healed. But with this product, I haven't had any problems since using the sample a few times, so I can use it with confidence. The citrus scent is a little strong, but it's fine for my skin, so I plan to use up the whole bottle for now.
It has a smooth texture and is easy to use. The floral scent is not likely to bother many people (although I didn't like it much). Since it's a trial size, I can't tell you how effective it is at whitening.
