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 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 🫶🏻

ConsUgh, it stings even after I washed it off... I'm still feeling the irritation. I'm dreading tomorrow, as I think I'll have a breakout. After using the Estée Lauder Night Repair serum in the brown bottle, I had quite a few breakouts the next day, so I thought rich skincare products might not agree with me and stopped using them. But it seems this essence doesn't suit me either ㅋ... Dang it.. My skin was in chaos back then, and it's still an ongoing issue... For those considering purchasing this, I'd highly recommend thinking it over carefully. Sigh..

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis product is gentle and non-irritating. It has good moisturizing properties and a subtle, unobtrusive scent. It doesn't feel slippery like seaweed or create a film, but it's not as quickly absorbing as flower water either. Instead, it has a pleasantly smooth, slightly tacky texture that's great for layering moisture. It doesn't sink in as quickly as a polymer-based product, but rather has a nice, cushiony feel on the surface. The drying time is a bit slower. You know the kind of texture I'm describing, right? It's refreshing and cooling, yet has a substantial feel to it. That's why it works well in the summer and during transitional weather when skin starts to dry out. I usually pump out a small amount and layer it 2-3 times. For normal to oily skin types, this would likely feel very hydrating, though it doesn't completely eliminate my inner dryness. But it leaves my skin in great condition for applying the next product. It's a large size and very affordable, so you can use a generous amount without it getting used up too quickly.
ConsThere are no downsides so far, and it seems to have a good cost-performance ratio. I've used it for a long time, but there are no special effects - it's just a high-quality formulation skin.

I happened to learn about this product and have been using it, and I really love it! There must be a reason why it's called an 'Essence'. It has a non-greasy feel, so there is less tightness on the face compared to other products. It absorbs quickly and has a lightweight application, but the effects are substantial~~ Oily-skinned people would do well to start using it from fall.
ConsIt would be nice if it had a pleasant fragrance, as that would make it even more enjoyable to apply.
TipI just applied it as is in the summer, but in the fall and winter, when my skin was drier, I mixed it with an oil. I had some rosemary oil, so I applied them together, and I highly recommend it!!

If you apply it generously as a toner substitute during the toner step, it's so moisturizing that even just one application doesn't leave any tightness. It recharges moisture and effectively presses down on dead skin.
ConsThere's nothing particularly bad about it. It's worth the price I paid. The essence is a bit watery, but it provides sufficient moisture.

But just as my toner was running out, I started using this mainly as a pack, and I don't think I can find a better toner for my dry, dehydrated skin..It's a pre-serum product, but the price is outrageous..🥲 Still, I end up repurchasing it. It didn't irritate my sensitive skin at all, and it actually helped soothe it. The price makes it hard to repurchase regularly, but I highly recommend this toner!! It's apparently a popular word-of-mouth item and is even better than the Estée Lauder brown bottle! These days, there are a lot of great affordable products, so I don't repurchase the brown bottle anymore. But this is truly worth the money..As someone who spends a lot on skincare, I highly recommend this to those with dry, combination skin!!👍🏻👍🏻 I loved it from the second use and immediately bought it again after finishing it!!It's just so amazing for dehydration and soothing!
ConsThe price is just too outrageous...ㅠㅠ I use it a lot as a pack, so I go through it quickly, and it's too expensive to use daily..🥹
TipUse it as a toner and pack, then follow up with a serum and cream to really tackle the dehydration!

Even though I have an extremely sensitive skin, it works well for me, so I bought the large size and use it daily! The large size has a pump, so it's more convenient to use and dispense the right amount compared to products with regular lids. It applies smoothly and moisturizes well. At first, it felt a bit slippery, but it absorbs quickly and has great moisturizing power. I've tried many products that are said to be gentle and good, but this one is the best for me.
ConsThe price is outrageous... Other than that, everything is good. When not using the large size, the container's hole is too big, making it difficult to control the amount.
