The L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Centella Micro-Essence Water is an anti-ageing micro-essence that reportedly deeply repairs and instantly hydrates for firmer, crystal-clear skin. 

Repairs the Deeper Skin Layers with Pure Centella Essence
This product has pure centella asiatica, a natural ingredient that is used in many skincare formulas from the L’Oréal Group for its natural healing properties. The Micro-Essence Water comprises 92 per cent pure centella to help calm skin, reduce itchiness and redness, as well as stimulate collagen production so that your skin feels firmer, and wrinkles are less obvious. It is suitable for use even on sensitive skin.

Micronised Formula for Faster and Deeper Penetration
The Micro-Essence Water has micronised molecules that allow the product to deeply penetrate skin for instant and long-lasting hydration. 

How to Fit It into Your Skincare Routine 
Micro-essences are a special breed of beauty product. They give you flexibility in your skincare routine. If you have no major skin issues such as wrinkles, and you follow a basic routine of cleanse, tone and moisturise, Micro-Essence Water can replace and double as your toner while treating skin as an anti-ageing serum.  If you have fine lines and drier skin, and are already using anti-ageing skincare, use Micro-Essence Water as a serum. If you need more intensive anti-ageing care, use Micro-Essence Water as an additional serum in your skincare routine. Apply after toner and before your usual anti-ageing serum. 

To use, pour the Micro-Essence Water onto your palm or a cotton pad, then pat it into your skin. Easy. It won’t leave a sticky or greasy feel, and skin feels comfortably soft. Other ways to use such micro-essences: Soak a plain DIY sheet mask with the product and leave it on skin for five minutes for an instant pop of moisture. You can also pour it into a spray bottle to use as a facial mist during the day, or when you travel.

 

HOW IT WORKED FOR THEM
These four women used the L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Centella Micro-Essence Water for a week.


Alexis Cheah, 26, relationship manager
“My T-zone is oily, my cheeks are dry, and my complexion tends to look dull. I used the Micro-Essence Water as a toner, and it left my skin more hydrated and radiant. I like that I only need a small amount of Micro-Essence Water for my whole face and neck, and that it leaves my skin instantly smoother and softer too.”

 


Elizabeth Soh, 30, social entrepreneur and mother of one
“I used it in place of serum, and applied it before day cream or sunscreen. At night, especially when I was feeling lazy, I used it right after cleansing and before night cream. The texture was so light, it was absorbed immediately into my skin – perfect for our humid climate.”

 


Gidania Wong, 33, business-woman and  mother of one 
“I have combination skin which tends to be dry around the cheeks. From the first use, my skin appeared smoother and more radiant. I loved how its water-like, lightweight consistency was easily absorbed into my skin,  which now feels more moisturised and has a healthy glow.”

 


Carolyn Ong, 37, sales director
“My sensitive combination skin gets red and itchy easily, especially when exposed to fragrance, so I like to keep my skincare routine simple. I’m glad that the Micro-Essence Water didn’t irritate my skin at all. I used it as a toner and serum. I found it very moisturising – my skin looked plumped-up and hydrated right after.”
