For combination dehydrated skin, it might feel slightly heavy in the peak of summer if not fully absorbed.
ConsIf you leave it on your skin for too long as a mask, it can cause a tingling sensation.
TipThe bottle is large and heavy, and the product tends to drip from the opening. For the cleanest application, it's best to transfer it to a spray bottle.

This is so moisturizing and I love it. It might be challenging to use on its own though.
ConsThe 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?

ConsThe scent is a bit disappointing. I guess that's unavoidable with fermented essences...

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!
ConsThe 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.
TipI 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!

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!
ConsThe price... oh, the wicked price. I stock up on multiple bottles during Estée Lauder sales or when I have a chance to visit duty-free shops!
TipIf 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. Estée Lauder, you have my heart!

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

When applied generously in place of toner, it's so hydrating that even a single layer prevents any deep dryness. It's excellent for replenishing moisture and smoothing out dead skin cells.
ConsThere's nothing particularly bad about it. It's worth the price. While it's thinner than most essences, it provides ample hydration.

Not exactly refreshing, but lightweight! 🤍Application - Incredibly smooth... A product packed with hydration I received this as a gift from someone working in the beauty industry, saying it was good, and I had no expectations... My toner had just run out, and I mainly used it for mask routines, but I don't think I can find a better toner for deep dryness... It's used before serum, but the price is wicked... 🥲 Despite that, it's a product I keep repurchasing... When using it, I, with super sensitive skin, experienced no irritation at all, and it even helped soothe my skin... It's hard to repurchase every time due to the price, but it's truly a highly recommended toner!! I heard it's famous as a word-of-mouth product, and it was really better than Estée Lauder's brown bottle!! These days, there are many good affordable products, so I kept using the brown bottle and thought, 'Do I really need to...?' Many drugstore products are also great value for money, so I wasn't repurchasing, but this one is famous for being worth every penny... As someone who has spent a lot on cosmetics... I highly recommend it for combination dehydrated, combination, and dry skin types!!👍🏻👍🏻 From the second use, I thought, 'Wow... this is really good...' so I immediately bought it with my own money after finishing it!! It's really, really great for deep dryness and soothing!
ConsThe price is too wicked... ㅠㅠ I use it a lot for mask routines, so it runs out quickly, but it's too expensive for daily use... 🥹
TipUse it as a toner/mask pack, and then finish with serum and cream, and it really helps with deep dryness!!

Despite having super sensitive skin, it works really well for me, so I buy the large size and use it daily! The large size comes with a pump, which makes it easier to use and control the amount compared to products with regular screw-top lids. It absorbs well with a moisturizing feel. At first, I thought it might be a bit slippery, but it absorbs quickly and provides excellent hydration. I've tried various products known for being gentle and good, but this one has been the best for me.
ConsThe price is a bit wicked... but everything else about it is great. If you're not using the large size, the opening of the container is quite big, making it difficult to control the amount - that's a bit of a downside.

You can instantly feel your skin becoming moisturized and soft after application. While it has a clear liquid consistency like a toner, it's packed with essence that immediately makes your skin feel firm and supple.
Cons- The price is on the higher side - The bottle opening could use some improvement - It would be great if they offered a smaller travel-friendly size
TipAfter cleansing, apply the Micro Essence first, and you'll immediately notice how it leaves your skin hydrated and bouncy! I'm currently working on emptying my Nth bottle!
