Estée Lauder Micro Essence Treatment Lotion Toner Fresh with Sakura Ferment | Hydrating & Soothing + Skin Barrier Repair

I use the toner at night. It has helped tone my skin so wrinkles are less noticeable.

I have been using it for a while and I think it helps my skin, but nothing drastic so far. But I know I have to use it more.It has that typical fermentation smell, but it’s actually not bad.I use it with my fingers or a cotton pad.It is expensive, but if it works then it’s ok.I like the brand and many of its products; hence, I am giving it a chance.Thank you!

This makes your face feel so clean and fresh

Nice

This lotion is very nice. I have noticed a difference in my skin texture when using it. Very high quality in a nice looking bottle. It smells nice and is not at all greasy on my skin.

I recently tried The Estee Lauder toner that has left me quite impressed! As someone with sensitive skin, I'm always cautious about introducing new products, but this toner was gentle and non-irritating, which I truly appreciate.From the very first use, my skin felt softer and smoother. It has a light, pleasant scent that isn't overpowering, making it a nice addition to my routine. The texture is somewhat thin, more like a light essence, which makes it easy to layer over my usual skincare products. It's perfect for both morning and evening use.While the pump can be a bit finicky—sometimes dispensing too little product and other times too much—I've found that a little goes a long way. Despite its high price point, I believe the quality and size of the bottle justify the cost. The toner absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling refreshed and hydrated without any sticky residue.I haven't noticed dramatic visible changes yet, but the overall feel of my skin is definitely improved. This toner is versatile enough for all skin types, and it works well under makeup too. Overall, I would recommend it, especially for those with sensitive skin looking for a gentle yet effective toner.

I have not used Estee Lauder products in many years but when I saw this Micro Essence Treatment Lotion Fresh with Sakura Ferment I got excited and ordered it.The product name for this treatment is confusing to me, since it is called lotion but it is thin and watery. After diving in a bit further I see that it's a toner. I wish that they would just call it that. This micro Essence toner has three main functions, it is meant to fight redness, hydrate and repair / strengthen the moisture barrier.It has several good botanical extracts to accomplish those goals including Sakura Ferment and Sake Lees Extract, not to mention that old standby sodium hyaluronate. I used this toner for a few days before I decided that it's just not working for me. Rather than leaving my skin feeling soft and "luminous" as promised, after using this solution my skin feels a bit tight and dry, not hydrated at all. I also did not notice the redness in my face dissipating at all, even though I ordered it to help calm down my rosacea. I do like that it has so many natural ingredients, but I think they are best suited to those with normal to oily complexions rather than dry / mature skin like I have.The toner itself is fragrance free, is non-greasy and quick to be fully absorbed. I've noticed no benefits, save that my cheeks look a little tight after using it. This is fine as far as I'm concerned since due to a couple ingredients I prefer not to use this product anyway.Unfortunately, along with all the lovely plant-derived ingredients this formulation also contains PEG-75 and PPG-5-ceteth-20. Both of these ingredients are poorly biodegradable and potentially harmful to our health. During the manufacturing process they produce byproducts ethylene oxide, a known carcinogen, and 1, 4- dioxane, a suspected carcinogen. Since there is no easy way to know if the product has been contaminated by these hazardous chemicals, I tend to avoid them completely.Having said that, this is still one of the cleanest formulations I have seen from this brand, so there is hope yet! At time of review this Sakura ferment toner is selling for $135. It is a fairly large bottle containing 6.7 Oz, so that breaks down to around $22 per ounce. I actually don't think that's a bad price for a huge brand using so many botanicals, if it went on sale that would be even better.

This stuff works great on skin. Makes skin soft and smooth.
