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.

Okay!
I am giving away 3 bottles of Micro Essence (RM320 for 150 ml) to blog readers!

Hi Audrey 🙂 nnI always have this kind of very uneven skin tone which makes my face look very dull and people thought I am non-energetic everyday which in fact I’m not! I am trying hard to look for a good skincare brand to cure this major problem of mine but none of it succeeds. So I would like to give this Estee Lauder’s Micro Essence a try since most of my family members have been using Estee Lauder and all I can hear is good comments about it haha! Each time walking by this Estee Lauder booth, I will be like “Wah! Estee Lauder leh!!!” But too expensive for me since I am still a student lol. And hence, I really wish that I get to win this hehe ! nnMy email: yewsiaujing92@gmail.comnnThanks very much hehe 😀

Hello Audrey,nnThank you for introducing this product!nnI always look pale and no products that I have used so far can make it look more radiant. In addition, I have uneven skin tone that makes the whole face worse.nnI hope that this Micro Essence can make me look radiant and younger. As stated in your blog, I believe this product will greatly improve my skin since it is designed for Asian skin.nnThank you for your time.nnStellanstellaho8288@gmail.com
Hi Audrey,nnAs a teen I’ve always had good skin but now that I’m 29, my skin has taken on a bad turn. I have uneven spots (maybe those are scars?) and large pores with breakouts on the right side of my face. I also have undereye wrinkles (I guess unavoidable at my age haha) Since you are giving them for free, I thought I would try. Hehe. I’m a housewife so branded skincare is too expensive for me. If I get it, I hope it will solve some of these problems for me.nnThank you!nnannnac@gmail.com
I had very poor skin (fine lines, black eyes circles, black dots), mixture of dry and oily skin. Looking at the characteristics you mention in the post, it definitely can help me look younger.nnRegards,nDaphne (daphne-chai@hotmail.com)
Hi Audrey,nnThank you for introducing this great product.nI’ve uneven skintone and sometimes partialy of my face gets dry up. That’s why sometimes my make up doesn’t stay up long on my skin and gets blotty easily. And my skin looks dull too. Hope to improve my skin problems with this Estee Lauder Micro Essence!nnEmail: buttercup_ym@hotmail.com
Hi Aud,nnI noticed my skin condition becoming worse after delivering my baby. :-(nI used to have ok skin before I got pregnant but now I noticed that I’ve started having wrinkles due to very dry skin. I’ve tried quite a few skin care range without much effect. Since I am working and taking care of my baby after work, I do not have enough time to spend on my skin. I need something that is simple and can be infused with my daily skin care routine. I’ve heard a lot about Estee Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair Serum/Lotion but as the price range is wayyy out of my budget, I have yet to give it a try. And now there’s a new serum which promises more radiance, youthfulness and smooth, supple skin?? I wish I could try it out and find a solution to my dry, wrinkled skin.
Hi Audrey, nnI just got its sample few days ago and I think I started to like how it helps to give radiant and glow to the face although on bared face especially I have a dull yellow skin undertone *sobsob* Recently I’m trying to cut down on make-up but instead focus more on skin care to give my face a radiance look and such I think this Micro Essence will be doing me a great help in it 😀 Hope I can have it as my daily skin care regime~ nnThank you and best wishes to you and your family <3nnsinyee.alicia0810@gmail.com

Hello, Audrey!nnI’m in my mid twenties and I can feel that my skin isn’t as supple and elastic as when I was young / a few years ago. wtf I have blotchy and dry skin and acne once in a while. It’s like my skin has gone haywire ever-since I turned 25. Sad that none of the skincare I came across could treat my skin problems. I’m hoping to be one of the winners so that I can celebrate this Chinese New Year with great skin!nnThank you and giong hee huatt chai!nnxoxo,nHelena (helenajinen@naver.com)

I have a sensitive pimple skin and i hope this can let be have better skin conditionnkeiko_lolipop@hotmail.com
Hi Audrey… nnAfter having my second baby, my skin took a turn for the worse. It used to be just oily at the T-zones but now it’s dry and flaky all over. I’ve changed my skin care routines and tried different moisturisers but none seems to be working its magic on my skin. The skin on my face feels rough and tight. I’m losing firmness and moisture on my face… 🙁 I hope that this new product from Estée Lauder will be able to help me regain soft skin like before. Thank you! nnCheers, nAnnabel nannabelsua@gmail.com
Hi Audrey, nMy skin has never been neither glowing or smooth. I have acne problem as well as oily skin. When it’s noon, my face will be oily and i guess the oiliness is the main factor that causes the acne on my face. Despite trying so many skin care products, it still doesn’t helps. Trying on a new product is much dangerous because i wouldn’t know whether it really helps my skin or not, at the same time the price are causing my wallet a bomb. nWould love to win this product from Estee Lauder and if it really helps my skin, i don’t mind investing on this skin care product! :)nSo ya, pretty please Audrey….. nThanks anyway! 🙂 nnxoxo nmusic-babe93@hotmail.com
age is 36 years old……need I say more??? been looking around for some tiny miracle on my acne prone, oily t zone, uneven skin tone, wrinkly, and all black and brown spots on my face……..essence oh essence please oh please make me look 5 years younger than I am…..thanks!nnregards,nlenanlenachik@hotmail.com

I cut down my makeuo usage but my skin hasnt improved. I have been in search of new skincare but the good one is waaaay out of my budget. T.TnI hope I could try this essence so I can improve my skin condition and eventually improve my self esteem. oh did I told you how my self esteem went to drain after delivering baby? I went from slim tall girl to a fat sweaty aunty. I am so damn sure that my husband dont want me to look like this forever. I am in diet and i also in search of way to improve my skin condition.nI wishg I could have the essence. please?nnthank you and hugs for Fighternnred_claw_ai@yahoo.com
Hey,rnI have major open pore issues, uneven skin tone, dehydrated and lacklustre skin. And I’m getting married in 3 months! *gasp* Think Micro Essence can help to even out my skin tone, provide hydration and help me to glow on my big day :Drnhispoema82@yahoo.com
oops. btw my email address is ericating86@gmail.com!
This would definitely help me with my acne problem since my skin is a combo of oily and dry. Also my uneven skin tone and nothing seems to really work on me yet. I do hope to win this to have a try on Estee Lauder and crossing fingers that it will work perfectly on me so that i can reduce the use of cosmetic on my face to have it look fresh in the morning and dull by noon. I want translucent radiant and acne free skin! :)nnyumi.meiki@gmail.com
Im having critically dry skin which lead me to internally dry, externally oil condition. At first I have no idea how’s it’s happen, but after doing some research, I actually need some essence to keep my skin hydrated, instead of using oily facial product!nnHope I can have better skin with Micro Essence so that girls all can stay pretty pretty now and always ;)nnjacqueline_khoo89@hotmail.com

Hi Audrey! nI came here from Instagram! I don’t have the worst skin in the world, but my confidence about my skin is the worst. I have had to wear foundation since the sixth grade once my hormones got bad. I’m 20 now! I have always wanted to be one of those girls that didn’t have to wear foundation to feel pretty. Although I don’t have acne anymore, I still fight with scars and occasionally flakey skin. And it’s just as bad as having acne because I have to wear foundation to hide my scars! I think this would help fade my scars and get rid of the flakes. Thanks so much for the opportunity to win! That’s so sweet of you to try and help other girls <3
Hi,nnI am a 40-year old mother of 3 and have always had skin problems, especially acne, during pregnancies. However, they usually go away after giving birth. Now I just have large pores and uneven skin tone issues. I am hoping that Estee Lauder Micro Essence products can help me get my youthful skin back!nnThanks, Audrey :)nmarinaza@yahoo.com
Even though I’m only 15 years old, I have really bad skin due to constant exposure to the sun. I have combination skin which is dry and oily at the same time and my skin just looks awful. Dull skin just doesn’t look good on anyone! I hope I win this! It sounds super promising! xnnmichelle-tan@hotmail.co.nz
My skin concerns are dull/uneven and dehydrated skin. I tend to also have oily T-zone, but dehydrated skin near my cheeks and chin. My dark circles and saggy eye bags aren’t really helping too. What I hope Micro Essence can do for me is to help me clear my dull and uneven skin tone, I always look like a sick person without make up. And I have not been putting on make up for quite a few months to improve my skin but still there aren’t really big changes to it. Would really hope to get the Micro Essence to gain back my confident without putting on make up, to have a hydrated, smooth, even and radiant skin tone every morning! Thanks Audrey and Estee Lauder for the giveaway c:nncindy_zhiyi@hotmail.com
Email: lau.huiru@gmail.comnI currently have quite rough skin along my chin area, & I believe it’s probably uneven skin caused by irritation, cause I have quite a few pimples. I’m actually quite afraid that I might have a breakout again (omg please no), & I need to hydrate my skin & calm it first , & I think this can help me, especially when my skin condition is dehydrated skin. What I want is the same as every other girl who commented: clear smooth skin, so I hope I can win this to be nearer to what I want for my skin(:

I am 30 this year, have been living with freckles and pigmentations since i was 12 years old. Have done many rounds of lasers with Derma RX and, nope it did not help solve the problem despite thousands of dollars invested. I am also using their products but it seems to be the same with no major improvement. Freckles and pigments have resurfaced, those that did not resurfaced formed white patch on the skin due to laser. Dr Yip must have over-zapped at a higher voltage. Yes i am frustrated and i need to find a solution to all this. nnI am hoping that Micro Essence will help in some ways in keeping my tortured skin calm, supple, hydrated, give an even skin tone and most importantly i hope it works on me! Its always nicer to win a give than to purchase it! Heheheh THANK YOU! nn

Hi Audrey, I have been searching for a product that suit my combination skin all the while but none of them could improve my skin. I always have very oily T-zone which makes it ‘shiny’ all the time >< sometimes quite annoying when i go out all day long, i would have to wipe it or wash it to reduce the oiliness and refresh myself abit. By then, my sunblock would be all gone 🙁 And then i also have uneven skin tone and i seldom use foundation or concealer, because of the oil that will be generated throughout the day. *so frustrated* dont know what to do with my face. I hope this Micro Essence will reduce my frustration on my skin and brings me brighter and healthier skin 😀 Thank you~nncontact: yee_gal_05@Hotmail.com
