Estée Lauder Nutritious 2-in-1 Foaming Face Wash & Mask, 4.2 oz — Pore-Minimizing, Niacinamide

Estée Lauder Nutritious 2-in-1 Foaming Face Wash cleans deeply as a daily foam and transforms into a purifying mask to help minimize the look of pores and excess oil.

This versatile cleanser doubles as a weekly mask to refresh skin without harsh stripping. Formulated with the brand’s Nutri-9 Complex—featuring responsibly sourced Sweet Kelp, Red Algae Ferment and a proprietary Coconut Water Ferment—plus niacinamide, it targets surface oil and visible pore appearance while keeping the formula largely plant-derived. The texture foams for effortless cleansing and rinses clean, leaving skin feeling soothed and balanced.

How does it act as both a daily cleanser and a purifying mask?

Used every day, the product foams to remove dirt, makeup residue and excess oil without over-drying. Applied thicker and left on for a few minutes, it functions as a wash-off purifying mask to clarify and refresh the complexion. The flexible routine makes it easy to incorporate into both morning and weekly evening regimens.

• Gentle foam for daily use — removes surface oil and impurities
• Mask application — thicker layer left on briefly for a deeper purifying effect
• Rinses clean with no heavy residue
• Suitable texture for both quick cleanses and targeted treatments

What key ingredients help with pore appearance and oil control?

The Nutri-9 Complex combines marine and plant-derived ferments plus niacinamide to support a clearer-looking surface and balanced sebum. Niacinamide is included to help refine the visible texture of skin, while the various ferments and kelp help purify and nourish without synthetic fragrances or harsh sulfates. The formula is predominantly naturally derived and designed to feel gentle on skin.

• Sweet Kelp — responsibly sourced, helps clarify
• Red Algae Ferment — supports skin vitality and texture
• Coconut Water Ferment — a proprietary ferment for conditioning
• Niacinamide — refines visible texture and helps reduce the look of pores
