This is a well-known serum product. I personally find it very effective. This serum contains fermented cherry blossom ingredients that deeply nourish and balance the skin, enhancing its hydration capacity and elasticity. After use, the skin feels refreshed, soft, smoother and more radiant. It has a light texture and is easily absorbed by the skin without being greasy or clogging pores. Overall, if you are looking for a serum that can increase the skin's moisture level and improve the skin's texture, this product is a good choice.

I had some trepidation at first when I was notified that Influenster and Estée Lauder were sending me a trial size of Micro Essence Treatment Lotion with Bio-Ferment. I have had acne issues with some other K-beauty ferments. Not only did this Micro Essence not cause any acne, but it helped lightly hydrate my (acne-prone but dehydrated) skin, helped to soften some of my very fine lines, and seemed to even out and calm my skin. I always looked forward to applying it, sometimes twice a day, because of the effect it had on my skin and because it just felt like such a luxury. This Micro Essence also never caused any pilling, despite anything I applied over it. I could apply this under my acne treatments, anti-aging treatments, SPF, makeup, etc. It applied and dried ... MoreI had some trepidation at first when I was notified that Influenster and Estée Lauder were sending me a trial size of Micro Essence Treatment Lotion with Bio-Ferment.

This Micro Essence also never caused any pilling, despite anything I applied over it. I could apply this under my acne treatments, anti-aging treatments, SPF, makeup, etc. It applied and dried quickly. My only hesitation in purchasing is the price. Even then, this Micro Essence is priced very competitively; it is cheaper per ounce than the competitors I've used. Micro Essence felt more soothing and pleasant on my skin versus the famed "miracle water" essence. When used under my usual anti-aging product, Micro Essence ensured I woke up with soft skin. The "miracle water," when used the same way, surprisingly left me with dry, textured skin. Micro Essence also doesn't feel greasy or overly hydrating, unlike an expensive single ingredient essence. Because it doesn't pack a huge hydration punch, Micro Essence can be used to amplify the effects of a lighter moisturizer (if one is even needed) in the summer and under a heavier moisturizer in colder months. I would recommend Micro Essence Treatment Lotion with Bio-Ferment to anyone not bothered by the price and who is looking for light hydration that works under makeup, moisturizers, serums, and other skincare treatments. I would also recommend it to anyone who wants to treat themselves, because this felt like such a joy to apply. I'm shocked by how much I like this!

Estee Lauder Micro Essence is more concentrated than toner but lighter than serum. It helps rejuvenate and restore the skin. I usually use it after washing my face instead of toner. It moisturizes and makes my skin not dry and tight, then I apply the serum. It has no scent and absorbs quickly into my skin. Overall, essence lotion can be a great addition to your skincare routine if you're looking to boost skin hydration. However, it is not a miracle product if you want your skin to be beautiful quickly.

Today I am reviewing another lovely Micro Essence from Estée Lauder. I had previously reviewed the Sakura ferment iteration of this essence with minimal results. Though much the same product, this original version complete with Bio-Ferment is slightly different. This facial essence comes as a clear liquid, housed within a clear frosted bottle with a blue geometric design along the front. The cap is a metallic gold that screws on and serves as the crown to this skincare piece. My top complaint with the Sakura essence was that it was too watery, or “waterlight” as they say. While still not as dense as the type of toner I prefer, at least with this essence I didn’t find the formula running off my face like pure water. This has a certain type of hold to its texture ... MoreToday I am reviewing another lovely Micro Essence from Estée Lauder.

While still not as dense as the type of toner I prefer, at least with this essence I didn’t find the formula running off my face like pure water. This has a certain type of hold to its texture that felt quite nourishing to my parched skin straight out of the shower. There is no color or fragrance to this product, though there is the vague lingering scent of fresh canvas. Something interesting that I experienced was a slight tingling, almost vibrating sensation. I was beginning to fear that I may have been having an allergic reaction, but I didn’t see any adverse effects on my face so I carried on. There are ingredients in this formula that are said to combat redness and irritation. I am not sure what ingredient made my skin buzz in the way that it did, but this was only a fleeting sensation that subsided within a few minutes. Overall, this is a great toning essence for normal to dry skin. Other than hyaluronic acid, this formula also consists of Bifida Ferment Lysate and Lactobacillus Ferment to aid in the repair and strengthening of the skin barrier. If your skin is like mine, falling on the far end of the dry spectrum, you will probably benefit from a heavier toner with a thicker consistency. I ended up using my regular toner afterwards for this reason. I am a true believer in the power of probiotic skincare, so I will be keeping this gem close by for some extra skin biome support when needed.

@influenster Sent me @esteelauder Micro-Essence treatment lotion with bio ferment complementary to test and review honestly. I was really excited when I found out that I was getting the Estée Lauder #Voxox and couldn’t wait for it that barrive! It got here about a week ago and I really did like how my skin has been looking and feeling the last few days . My skin has felt more moisturized and the dry patches I had on my cheeks are no longer there. It’s a thin liquid but also thicker then water but not oily. It doesn’t leave your skin feeling sticky like some of the exercises I’ve tried and it definitely absorbs fast. I only wish I had more but I would definitely recommend giving it a try and I would purchase this myself it comes in different size bottles to fit any ... More@influenster Sent me @esteelauder Micro-Essence treatment lotion with bio ferment complementary to test and review honestly.

Micro Essence Treatment Lotion with Bio-Ferment is such an amazing product to me. I am using more than halfway through the bottle already. I like to use it as a toner, so I always apply it after my face is cleansed freshly and before using the serum and moisturizer. In my opinion, It helps to maintain my skin's hydration and moisture nicely. The consistency is like water, so it absorbs into my skin surface easily, quickly, and rapidly. I think this works well for those who have uneven skin tones like me. It also helps to reduce the redness on my face and reveals the glow of my skin.

$200 for nothing in a bottle

paid $200 for glorified water, whatever they claim these ingredients do is a massive lie. i was told this product would improve barrier health and hydration and it has done exactly none of that. its water textured and leaves no feeling afterwards (including any possible feelings of hydration). i have been fully and thoroughly scammed out of $200 for a product worth no more that $35. again, this product does Nothing, it is not fun or satisfying to use, there is zero short term or long term effects from this product. i have used almost 3/4 of the bottle and am still waiting to see any difference at all, i switched to just using water as a toner for a week rather than this and quite literally felt more hydrated.

Disappointed

I was given a bottle of this free with a large purchase made for Estee Lauder items and I also read up on the reviews and a very mixed bag! I have been using it now for 2 weeks and first of all, it needs to have a better applicator option as if using your fingers it gets wasted and if using a cotton pad it gets wasted. Plus, after reading the reviews about eye sensitivity I will only apply below the eye socket. It also makes my make up very shiny after only a few hours. I will be only using this now at night but just on my face and not eyes, and I wont be wasting my money in purchasing it once finished. I'm just so glad I didn't waste any money purchasing the item.

Provides a hydrating, healthy look to the skin

Within my first few days of use I noticed my pores were greatly minimized/blurred and my skin overall looked healthy and well hydrated. Due to these results, I started using this product 2x daily after cleansing my face. I really saturated my face with the produce but noticed overtime it was causing facial redness with 2x daily application. I gave a 4 star rating due to this as toners should not increase facial redness. I have reduced to 1x daily in the morning under my moisturizer and I have not noticed as much facial redness. I would recommend to those who have oily skin and to combine it with the DayWear Matte moisturizer gel cream. The combination greatly reduces the look and feel of an oily complexion.
