I have been using the brown bottle product for many years and have emptied 3 bottles. This time, I purchased multiple brown bottles and tried it again, and it's still the same as before. ๐ The texture is not too sticky or too watery. ๐ It immediately leaves a moisturized feeling. ๐ After finishing a bottle, I feel like my complexion looks a bit brighter. ๐ Even though I don't have problematic skin, I've never experienced any breakouts or issues while using it. ๐ As someone with somewhat dry/combination skin, I was satisfied with the product.
Cons
Aside from the slightly burdensome price, there is really nothing else lacking.
Tip
Applying a generous amount of cotton to the skin pack provides a very moisturizing feeling.

This has been my skin's elixir for n years now. It absorbs well even when my skin isn't at its best, leaving it smooth and refreshed.
Cons
It's quite pricey... Everything about it is great except for the cost. Best to buy it during sales events.

Texture: It's a water-based ampoule. The formula isn't overly sticky or thick, making it comfortable to use without feeling heavy on the skin. Application and Finish: This product absorbs well into the skin and you can feel its concentrated formula as you apply it. Skin Condition and Effects After Use: This ampoule is effective at alleviating deep dryness, making it suitable to use on its own without needing to layer other products. It gives the complexion a radiant look, which is why I've been using it consistently. When used in combination with the brown bottle, it makes my skin feel even more firm and resilient, which I'm very satisfied with. Irritation Level: Throughout my use, I didn't experience any blemishes, tingling, or redness, so I felt confident using it without worry.
Cons
The consistency is quite thin, so it tends to run off your hands. Be careful when applying!

As an essence, it has a thin consistency, but when applied to the skin, it feels distinctly different from other essences - heavier and noticeably more hydrating. In the morning, after layering this essence two or three times and allowing it to absorb fully, applying foundation creates a beautifully radiant complexion. It seems superior to other essences in terms of hydration, making me want to continue using it, but the price... Well, I'm already using Estรฉe Lauder's brown bottle, eye cream, foundation, and cushion. Given my financial situation, consistently splurging on this essence might be a bit much.
Cons
Is everyone really okay with the scent? I've never encountered a cosmetic product with such an odor before. At first, I was shocked, thinking it had gone bad. It has this really peculiar smell. While some products in the Estรฉe Lauder skincare line have unique fragrances, this essence takes the cake. What kind of scent is this exactly? It's too bewildering to be called an herbal fragrance. However, its hydrating effects are so good that I keep using it, despite being taken aback by the smell every time.

I have dry skin deep down. This is so moisturizing and I love it. It might be challenging to use on its own though.
Cons
The glass bottle makes it heavy. If I had to add something else, well, it's a high-end brand so it can't be helped... but the price?

It absorbs well and feels like it's replenishing my skin with hydration
Cons
The scent is a bit disappointing. I guess that's unavoidable with fermented essences...

This truly lives up to its name as a 'first essence' in your skincare routine! After cleansing, I apply it once with a cotton pad and once more with my palms. My skin instantly feels plump and slightly firm, as if it's drinking in the hydration. The toning and moisturizing effects are so good that they enhance the effectiveness of the subsequent skincare steps!
Cons
The price is the main drawback. It would be great if there was a mid-size option between the sample and full-size product. This would make it more accessible for first-time users who might be hesitant about the cost. However, the product is so good that I believe once people try it, they'll likely go for the full-size version.
Tip
I use it once as an exfoliating toner, then again by patting it into my skin with my palms. The more I layer, the more my skin feels like soft, supple mochi!

It's a thin essence with a fermented scent, reminiscent of a toner. While it feels light, it deeply hydrates your skin, giving you that coveted 'glowing outside, moisturized inside' look. My skin responds well to fermented ingredients, and I've tried various products, but this one takes the cake. It's worth every penny! I usually apply it during the day, and at night I use the 'brown bottle'. However, if my skin feels particularly dry, I'll layer this on before the brown bottle in my evening routine as well!
Cons
The price... oh, the wicked price. I stock up on multiple bottles during Estรฉe Lauder sales or when I have a chance to visit duty-free shops!
Tip
If you have an important event the next day, here's a pro tip: Mix the Micro Essence with your toner in a 1:1 ratio, soak a thick cotton pad, and leave it on your face for 10-15 minutes like a sheet mask. Your skin will become incredibly smooth and hydrated, rivaling any fancy face mask out there! I highly recommend this method! When my skin needs extra care or I have a big day ahead, I follow this nighttime routine: Micro Essence, Night Repair Rescue Solution, the 'brown bottle', and Astra Cream. The next morning, my skin is absolutely radiant. Estรฉe Lauder, you have my heart!

I think it's fantastic! I've found the perfect skincare that's hydrating and suits me perfectly.
Cons
It's quite expensive. Unfortunately, it's a bit too pricey for me.
Tip
I apply it immediately after washing my face!
