Best Essence: Estee Lauder Micro Essence Skin Activating Treatment Lotion
I’ve been taking good, consistent care of my skin for four years now, and it’s made such a world of difference. One of the things I incorporated in my routine that made such a huge difference? Essence. Essence isn’t as popular here in the states as it is in other Asian countries, but it’s definitely seen a rise in popularity since Korean Beauty trended over here. Now, I can’t neglect adding essence into my skincare routine. It’s just not the same without it. So here’s my review of the best (in my opinion) essence out on the market right now:

Review
I’ve been using Estee Lauder’s Micro Essence on and off for about three years now, and honestly, whenever I’m using it, there’s a good difference from when I use other essences. As of right now, my current skincare routine entails me using Missha’s Time Revolution Essence in the day (because it’s a light-weight and affordable, which means I can run through it faster), and then Micro Essence at night. And let me tell you- my skin is sooooo soft and hydrated in the morning!!! I always always always pair this with Estee Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair, and the duo working harmoniously together is just perfect. On special occasions, I’ll use this duo before a full makeover to achieve a flawless, smooth canvas. It’s a perfect alternative when you don’t have time to sheet mask and you wanna get the same- if not better- effect! Its price point is a bit high (not as high as SKII though!), but it just does the job so well that in my opinion, it’s worth it! I would highly recommend trying!
