Astalift Jelly Aquarysta Rejuvenating Concentrate

Fujifilm's breakthrough product, Astalift Jelly Aquarysta Rejuvenating Concentrate is an anti-aging product containing ceramides, collagen, and peptides for a smoother, firmer, more luminous complexion. 
It features the same packaging as the Regenerating Night Cream. 
I got the tiny 15g jar. It also comes in 40g. 
In its full outfit with cap on.  
Glorious red gelatin. It wiggles; it doesn't fall off upside down. Scoop it out and it returns to its original shape on its own. 
The see-through jelly is quite mesmerizing. I feel like I am staring into an aquatic sanctuary with the red blob reflecting endlessly from the jar. 
Yellow jelly on the spatula (good enough to eat!)
Rubbed together, it turns into a serum/cream after all. (Palm reading, anyone?)
It dries down to a soft, matte finish. 
Applied once daily, I finished mine in less than four weeks. I see this more as an essence because of its light texture that is easily absorbed. Although it is a first in concept, I find the product can be used up quickly because of the gelatinous texture. In terms of performance it provided adequate moisture without causing any breakouts. I did not see any significant luminescence in my complexion, however, it did provide stellar effects in terms of balancing the moisture on my face. It is not a miracle product, but I do like the effects of Astalift's night cream more than this, may I say, overhyped Jelly Aquarysta.

Astalift Regenerating Night Cream

Who knew those rolls of film can turn to skincare? Leave it to the Japanese to innovate. Fujifilm's latest spin-off -- Astalift skincare -- has been a best-seller in Japan since it launched over two years ago. 
Astalift's star product is the Jelly Aquarysta, a jelly type essence-moisturizer. But I will start with the night cream, since that is the first product I dipped into. 
Astalift Regenerating Night Cream comes in red packaging with embossed gold letterings. The gradation touch of red to gold is very elegant and is a Japanese feature indeed. 
Hello, shiny red cap. 
A lot of mirroring gives it a playful, futuristic look. It is fun and curious to work with each time.
It comes in a small compact 30g jar but it packs a punch.
The light yellow cream is very rich -- a pea-sized amount will suffice. Truly, this lives up to its name of regeneration. It really does give the face a softer appearance and a more youthful glow in the morning. However, it is too rich for my combination skin in this tropical weather. It leaves an irritating film of grease. I wouldn't find this to be a problem for dryer skin-types or habitats of cold climates. If I had 10 thumbs, I would give it 10 for efficacy, not to mention longevity. This lasted me close to five months, a feat as far as 30g's go.  
Almost forgot -- the cover and spatula it comes with.
