Recommended for those who are battling with dryness and dehydration and those looking for smooth and supple skin as well as those whose skin is lacking energy and vitality, this Micro Essence Skin Activating Lotion claims to micro target, micro nourish and micro active in their dermatologist-tested, ophthalmologist-tested, non-acnegenic and fragrance-free formula.

Every time Estee Lauder comes up with a new product, they are generous enough to produce sample sizes for users who are interested in trying them, so I opted for a 15ml size to use it for a week.

Micro Essence Skin Activating Lotion is a toner, to be used before serum and moisturizer. In using the lotion, which you can apply with a cotton pad or palms, it helps other products that goes after the lotion, to better penetrate the skin, boosting its efficacy. I usually use it with a cotton pad, as with all lotions.

Thinner than a lotion but thicker than a water-based toner, the Estee Lauder Micro Essence Skin Activating Lotion has a slightly sticky base that stays on top of the skin after application, which is why I prefer to use a cotton pad that goes all over the skin, spreading it thinly. It has a light fermented scent, somehow like SKII but not as overpowering.

Within a few minutes after application, the lotion gets absorbed into skin, making it feels hydrated and bouncy, keeping it plumped, smooth and supple. However, I didn't see any significant improvement in refined texture, even toned skin or youthful radiance after a week's usage.
