Estée Lauder Advanced Night Cleansing Gelée Gel-to-Foam Face Wash 3.4 oz — 15 Amino Acids, Gentle Deep Pore Cleanser

Estée Lauder Advanced Night Cleansing Gelée is a gentle gel-to-foam face wash formulated with 15 amino acids to remove makeup and impurities while preserving the skin’s moisture barrier.

Start your evening skincare ritual with a cleanser designed to lift away surface grime and longwear makeup without leaving skin tight or stripped. This renewing gelée transforms into a soft, airy foam that rinses clean, leaving skin feeling balanced and ready for serums or treatments. The formula draws on 15 amino acids found naturally in the skin’s protective layers to help support barrier function and surface comfort.

How does this cleanser remove longwear makeup without overdrying?

The gelée texture dissolves makeup and impurities, then becomes a gentle foam that rinses away residue without aggressive surfactants. Its formulation avoids harsh drying ingredients and is crafted to maintain the skin's natural acid mantle.

• Gel-to-foam action lifts oil-based and pigment makeup.
• Balanced surfactant system cleanses without stripping moisture.
• Free of drying alcohols, sulfites, and mineral oil.

What role do the 15 amino acids play in this face wash?

The included amino acids mirror components naturally present in the skin’s outer layers and are chosen to support overall barrier resilience. They help the cleanser feel nourishing and leave skin comfortable after use.

• Amino acids contribute to surface hydration and softness.
• They support a non-irritating cleansing experience for most skin types.
• Formulated to complement follow-up serums and treatments.

Will this cleanser suit sensitive or combination skin?

Yes — the gentle foaming formula is formulated to cleanse effectively while minimizing disruption to delicate skin. Clinical-style consumer testing reported high rates of comfort and reduced surface oiliness after one use.

• Made without synthetic fragrance, parabens, phthalates, and silicones.
• Free from formaldehyde donors and mineral oil, lowering irritation risk.
• Rinses clean to leave skin feeling soft rather than tight.

How does starting with this cleanser affect subsequent nighttime treatments?

Proper cleansing clears surface debris so serums and treatments can contact skin more evenly. In vitro tests show improved serum penetration on skin that has been cleansed versus uncleansed skin.

• Prepares skin for better absorption of targeted serums or moisturizers.
• Leaves a balanced surface for consistent product performance.
• Helps maintain the skin environment that nighttime routines aim to optimize.

Who this is for: The Advanced Night Cleansing Gelée is suited to anyone seeking a refined, gentle cleanser at night — especially those who wear longwear makeup or use daytime SPF and need a dependable first step. It’s designed for all skin types, including combination and sensitive skin, and for people who prefer cleansers free from synthetic fragrance, sulfates, and drying alcohols. If you want a soft foam that cleans deeply while supporting skin comfort and preparing your skin for serums, this cleanser is a smart choice.
