"The Micro Essence Treatment Lotion has made my skin stronger, softer and radiant. Its active-infused formula improved my skin's ability to retain moisture, while helping the rest of my skincare routine work more efficiently." - Chelsey, Escentual Beauty Team.

Why You'll Love The Estee Lauder Micro Essence:

• Luxurious skincare essence enriched with antioxidant actives.
• Reduces the appearance of pores.
• Improves the performance of your whole skincare routine.
• All skin types will benefit from increased hydration by adding this into their routine.

What You Need To Know:

This lotion isn't a toner. It's a skincare essence to be used after cleansing and before your serum to enrich your skin with extra nourishment and hydration. Due to its thin, water-like texture, the concentration of active ingredients is higher in this lotion.

What makes it special is the fact this product is made specifically in Japan using Estee Lauder's unique fermentation technology to keep your skin's barrier protected.

It soothes, brightens, encourages cell renewal and gives your skin a leg up when locking in hydration. In addition, it provides antioxidant protection to defend against daily aggressors that can slow down your skin's renewal process. You'll find caffeine in this essence, as it helps to improve microcirculation in your skin.

Why It's Escentual:

When you receive the box, you'll see it looks different to the signature turquoise packaging for most of their skincare range. Instead, this box has a white front with blue swirls that match the glass bottle inside.

After opening the box, the gold lid of the bottle is the first thing you see. We love the EL embellished detail because it makes the whole experience feel extra special. As you unscrew the lid, you'll need to remove the hygiene seal, too - this comes in handy, as there's no spillage when you open it if the product has been moving around.

The glass bottle feels heavy and opulent. The lotion feels soft and nourishing. We love how it makes a big difference to the way makeup sits, and it improves the performance of your whole skincare routine.

The Best Way To Use It:

After cleansing and toning, tip the lotion onto your fingers and pat on your skin, then follow with your serum.

The Sustainable Side:

You can recycle the box and bottle at home.
