It is not very sticky or high in viscosity, so it can be used without burden. The absorption is high, and you can feel a concentrated sensation when applying it. It helps relieve skin tightness, so you can use it alone without layering. My skin looks brighter, and I've been using it for a while now. Using it with the brown bottle has made my skin firmer, and I'm satisfied. There were no troubles, stinging, or redness during use, so I could use it with confidence.
ConsThe viscosity is low, so it flows easily from the hands. Be careful when applying!

In the morning, applying this essence two to three times and allowing it to fully absorb leaves the skin looking radiant and glowing when foundation is applied. It seems to excel in the moisturizing aspect compared to other essences, so I would like to continue using it, but the price is a concern. I'm already using the Estée Lauder brown bottle, eye cream, foundation, and cushion, and adding the cost of this essence is a bit of a burden for me, as I don't have a lot of money. 😭
ConsIs the smell okay for everyone...? This is really the first time I've encountered such a scent from cosmetics. At first, I thought it had gone bad and was shocked.. There's a really funky smell, and some products in the Estee Lauder basic line have a similar fragrance, but personally, I think the essence is amazing haha What kind of scent is this..??? It's not quite a single note, and the fragrance is really surprising, but it's effective in terms of moisturizing, so I keep using it with shock ㅠㅠ

It's very moisturizing and great. It's difficult to use just this product alone.
ConsThe glass bottle is heavy. Even if I say more, it's a high-end brand, so there's not much I can do about the price.

After cleansing, applying it once with a cotton pad and then patting it in with your palms, your skin will feel refreshed and slightly bouncy, as if it has absorbed moisture. With its beneficial effects on skin organization and moisture provision, the subsequent skincare steps will be even more effective!
ConsIt's the price, after all. If there's a middle size between the sample and the current full-size product, I think it would be good for first-time users to approach it with less price burden. The product is really good, so I think those who try it once will likely proceed to purchase the full-size product.
TipDab it once, scoop it onto the palm of your hand, and apply it once more. The more I layer it, the more my skin becomes soft and supple!

It's refreshing, but it deeply hydrates the skin, so you can have a dewy, glowing complexion. Haha My skin agrees well with fermented ingredients, so I've tried various products, and this one seems to be the best. It's worth the high price! I usually apply it during the day, and at night, I use the brown bottle. If my skin feels dry, I'll apply this before using the brown bottle at night as well!
ConsPrices...haha, the evil prices. Stock up on a few bottles during Estee Lauder sales or when you have a chance to visit the duty-free shop!
TipI have an important appointment tomorrow! If so, soak a cotton pad like a sirukkot in a 1:1 ratio of micro-essence + toner, apply it like a pack, and leave it on for 10-15 minutes. When you take it off, your skin will be as smooth and moisturized as any pack! I highly recommend this method! If your skin condition is poor or you have an important appointment the next day, apply the products in the order of micro-essence - night repair rescue solution - brown bottle - Astra cream before bed, and your skin will glow the next day. Love you, Estee Lauder 🫶🏻
