Your prizes will be making their way to you soon. Hope you like the Micro Essence!!!
Posted this on my Dayre the other day – an early Christmas present from Estee Lauder! Thank you Estee Lauder. I love trying out new products so I can find the best for myself. <3
On the right is the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum. And the bottle on the left is a new product, the Estee Lauder Micro Essence Skin Activating Treatment Lotion, which is the focus of this blog post. 🙂
Complete with personalized note. I feel so loved hehehe.
When I met up with Estee Lauder, I asked them was this a toner? Serum? Essence? The answer is none of the above, it doesn’t fall into any of the usual product categories. While it can be considered a treatment lotion (a “watery” lotion that delivers skincare benefits and is usually the first step in a skincare regimen after cleansing), the best way to describe it is Essence-in-lotion, because it works like a serum/essence but in watery lotion form.
It’s like a high performance treatment lotion because it works like a serum/essence but in watery lotion form.
It helps strengthen skin’s foundation and reduce imperfections – revealing a youthful glow/radiance from within. And it’s called Micro Essence because it micro targets skin to reach where hydration is needed most, micro nourishes, and micro activates pro-youth skin function to “reset” the look of the skin immediately and long term.
I show you how to use! It should be the next step, after cleansing. Which means you use it in place of toner or other lotions.
(face is bare except for eyebrows. Because nobody wants to see me without eyebrows.)
You can either soak a cotton pad with Micro Essence or pour 5-6 drops into your hand straight. I usually pour into my hands because I find it wasteful to let cotton pad soak up all the goodness. The good stuff is for my face!!
Rub both hands together gently.
Starting from the chin, gently press into skin from the center out.
Move upwards to cheeks..
..and forehead.
Immediately skin felt quite refreshed! The lotion absorbed very quickly into my skin and immediately my skin felt supple but not sticky.
Micro Essence has serum-like properties but it’s not meant to replace serum in your skincare regime.
A serum like the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair should follow.
Pour out a few drops..
Again do the same, by gently patting it on my face.
Then continue with your usual moisturizer and finish up.
How? Got look prettier younger or not? Hahahaha.
I’ve used this product for two weeks now. While there’s no sudden change like wah wake up next day my skin is as smooth as Fighter’s bottom (because that is magic which doesn’t exist in Muggle world wtf), I have noticed subtle differences.
For example, my skin can be quite patchy and uneven toned. I don’t use foundation so I normally use a lot of concealer to hide dark spots or red patches. I can’t tell specifically but now I can do without the concealer on my face – just dab under the eyes, apply sunblock and go. The biggest difference to me is how my skin feels when I touch it actually – supple and smooth.
Still wanna see more reviews?
Watch this transformation video on the Estee Lauder website here.
Micro Essence was developed specially for Asian skin and is only available in Asia! So if you go to Europe or the US, you won’t find this there.
It was tested out on Asian women and 96% saw a significant improvement in skin texture and clarity, 95% felt skin was more hydrated, and 91% felt skin was more even toned.
I am the 91%!
Here are the 9 characteristics Micro Essence improve on for a youthful glow.
You also want?
Okay!
I am giving away 3 bottles of Micro Essence (RM320 for 150 ml) to blog readers!

This is definitely THE product that can give me a youthful radiance in my late 20s.nI’m waiting for your email at suatkuan@gmail.comnnThanks =)

I really hope I can get this because I believe that it will improve my face condition! Honestly, your skin condition is so good! It look so shiny and natural. You no need make up! I hope I don’t need make up when I go out.
Hi Audrey,nnI have a combination skin,acne scars,oily skin,sensitive skin and my skin is dry. I’ve already consulted skin doctor,tried so many products, but the result is not visible. I’m so sad,after all the money spent but still no visible result. I hope you can pick me as one of the winner. Hope this product can do magic on my skin.nThank you.nRegards; Cammy nyiimeilim@hotmail.com
Hi Audrey, i sincerely believe this world should have magic so people can zap away their problems by just a wand flick, and also so that i can clear away my uneven skin tone like tada~ or at least have a real life photoshop la, just a click and gone is the ugly uneven skin tone and annoying wrinkles, right right?! But the cold harsh truth is that in reality there is no magic nor real life photoshop, so boohoo to that. But hey! The closest thing to magic is Estee Lauder’s Micro Essence, and i really do hope i can get it to even out my skin tone! I’m only 25 leh why la that uneven skin tone curse on me == so yea, it will be my life-saver if i can get it hehe! Thank youuuuu! nnkahrou.ism@gmail.com

Hi Audrey, Thanks for having this giveaway contest 😀 nnMy skin, i wouldn’t say it’s too bad or too nice. I’m happy that I do not suffer from acne/pimple during my teenage year, oh i’m 21st this year by the way ;D Im having a combination skin type, so my face gets very oily if I use something very creamy, or thick texture. I’ve tried one of the brand in the markets which states it has the highest hydration level, but it also didn’t work for me. It just make my face gets really really sticky. 🙁 Sometimes worst, whiteheads will come out if my skin is too oily 🙁 So I would love to try Estee Lauder Micro Essence, as you mention it’s watery-based lotion, pretty sure it’s combination of both water + lotion. And i hope it’ll suit my skin and reduce imperfection and improve skin complexion and also, a brighter and bouncy skin 😀 Thank you:)
Hi Audrey,nI have dull skin,whitehead around my nose, dark spot, and acne. I am suffering a bad cyst acne about a year ago. This really stress me out. This Estee Lauder micro essence is the solution to my all skin problem. This essence will soothe, calm and pamper my face since it is formulated for asian women so I am sure it will not give me any break out on my face. To have a youthful and angelic face is a dream for every women. I hope I can achieve that dream. Thank you. iffa1305@gmail.com
Dear Audrey, nnI’ve always had problems with my skin; my skin is often dull, acne prone, oily on T-zone areas and dry when I’m indoors. It was really bad until I started taking medications from a dermatologist. My skin is clear and pleasantly good now. I’ve been taking them for more than 4 years already and I really wish I could stop consuming these meds. Unfortunately, I can’t because as soon as I stop popping my pills, my skin problems resurface. I hope Estee Lauder’s new Microessence will be able to do this trick for me so I can stop relying on these pills and still look pretty! nnLooking forward to see this miracle.ngracecje@hotmail.com
Dear Audrey,nnI have always wanted porcelain skin but could never afford those products that costs so much these days that could help me with my uneven and dull skin-tone. This Microessence you name of could be the ‘cure’ but then again, it burns a hole to my wallet.. So I guess I’ll never have that porcelain skin I’ve always wanted, until this giveaway which I could cross my fingers on! :xnnsynyi_wong@hotmail.comn
Hello Audrey, nHere is my share of story of why I’m in dire need of this lotion. Once, I was beautiful, optimistic girl who was very confident about my skin. I never have any problem with it and then *thunder!* I got posted to a place where all factories and trucks are roaming like rats, and the air is so polluted, my skin immediately was infested with aches
Acnes I mean, so I’m hoping this lotion will perform a miracle on my skin and make it turn into the way it was before. Thank you Audrey nnviolet_puteri89@yahoo.com
A minute too late 🙁 why, wifi, whyyyyyyyy 🙁
I have very dry patchy skin this would be a great solution!
Hi Audrey,nnI supposed this is like the SKII Essence, which I used, but noticed that it has lost it’s effectiveness on my skin. I am a mom of 4 young kids and guessed that changes my skin too (Im sure you face the same). Wouldnt mind trying this if I am a lucky winner! 🙂
Hi Audrey,nnHave you announced the winner yet? nnThank you
