Spring Beauty Essentials ... Estée Lauder Micro Essence Skin Activating Treatment Lotion and Estée Lauder Derek Lam Collection

Different skin comes with different needs. In Asia, where the climates varies from tundra cold in Siberia; warm and humid in the Malay Archipelago and dry down south, Asian skin differs from Caucasian skin in terms of thickness and dermal layer density.

There is a higher collagen concentration with more compact epidermis layer, hence reducing the absorption of substances when applied to the skin. 

Colour wise, Asians have darker skin compared to the Caucasians due to the presence of pigments called melanin on the surface of the skin.

Nevertheless, Asians who are living in the urban environment, especially in metropolises and cities these days oftentimes dealing with physical and emotional stress; ageing, extreme UV exposure and pollution — major contributing factors that strip the skin off its natural lustre. 

Thus, leveraging on its expertise in high-performance skincare that spans decades, Estée Lauder introduces Micro Essence Skin Activating Treatment lotion.

Catering to the needs of Asian skin, the breakthrough innovation is the first-of-its-kind essence-in-lotion that strengthens the skin’s foundation with micro power, bringing forth a lucid, angelic glow from within. 

The secret to this advance beauty potion is the new and exclusive Micro-Nutrient Bio Ferment — a powerful concentrate conceived by Estée Lauder scientists and inspired by extremophiles, also known as nature’s “Ultimate Survivors” due to its inevitable strength and resilience.

The concentrate activates skin’s multiple pro-youth functions and helps “resetting” the look of skin, making skin feels softer, smoother, youthful and radiant day after day.   

Furthermore, through rigorous clinical and consumer tests, Estée Lauder Micro Essence Skin Activating Treatment has proven to improve several skin characteristics such as building stronger barrier, refining texture, calming the skin, imparting even skin tone and diminishing fine, dry lines, just to list a few.

On the other hand, fans of fashion designer Derek Lam will be over the moon with the launch of the designer’s exclusive makeup collection for Estée Lauder. 

Created in conjunction with the tenth year celebration of collaboration between Tom Pecheux and the designer, the collection juxtaposes Derek’s vision of “luxury without formality” with Tom’s makeup expertise. 

Encased in a glamorous satin navy designer clutch, the collection encompasses five limited edition items – The Kajal Crayon in Near Night, the Mascara in Black Black, the Eye Shadow in Smoked Gold, the Lip Colour in Smoked Blush and the Gloss in Barely Gold.    

 “I designed the clutch to be a chic yet very adaptable accessory in a woman’s wardrobe,” comments Derek Lam, “Every woman seeks that perfect small bag.”

Estée Lauder Micro Essence Skin Activating Treatment Lotion retails at RM 320.00 while Estée Lauder Derek Lam makeup collection (for limited time only) retails at RM250.00 per set. Both are available now at all Estée Lauder counters nationwide.
