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

Estée Lauder Advanced Night Cleansing Gelée is a gel-to-foam face wash that removes makeup and impurities while supporting the skin’s natural barrier with 15 amino acids.

This renewing Gelée was developed as the first step in an evening routine: a lightweight gel that whips into a soft foam to cleanse thoroughly without stripping moisture. The formula is designed for all skin types, removes longwear makeup, and contains a blend of 15 amino acids similar to those naturally present in skin’s protective layers. It’s free of synthetic fragrance, parabens, phthalates, sulfites, silicones, formaldehyde donors, drying alcohol, and mineral oil, and comes in a 3.4 fl oz size ideal for nightly use or travel.

How well does this cleanser remove makeup and impurities?

The gelée transforms into a fluffy foam that lifts surface buildup, including longwear and everyday makeup, so skin feels clean without tightness. Consumer testing reported strong removal performance after a single use.

• Effectively dissolves and rinses away makeup, sunscreen, and surface pollution.
• Works on longwear formulas without heavy rubbing or oil-based removers.
• Rinses clean to avoid residue that can interfere with serums and treatments.

Will this cleanser dry out or disturb my skin barrier?

This formula is made to cleanse while maintaining the skin’s moisture balance; it doesn’t rely on drying surfactants or harsh alcohols. The inclusion of 15 amino acids helps support the skin’s protective layers so the face feels soft and comfortable after rinsing.

• Contains amino acids found naturally in the skin’s protective layer to help support barrier function.
• Formulated without drying alcohols, sulfates, or mineral oil to minimize barrier disruption.
• Leaves skin feeling balanced and prepared for subsequent serums and moisturizers.

How does using this cleanser affect my nighttime routine?

Starting with a thorough, non-stripping cleanse optimizes absorption of follow-up treatments. Estée Lauder testing shows improved serum uptake when skin is properly cleansed first.

• Cleanses skin surface to allow serums and treatments to penetrate more effectively.
• Soft foam texture improves comfort during evening ritual steps.
• Designed to pair with Advanced Night Repair for enhanced routine performance.

Is this suitable for sensitive or oily skin?

The gentle foam and clean formulation make it suitable across a range of skin types, including sensitive and oily skin. Many users report skin feels less oily and pores feel purified after use.

• Gentle gel-to-foam action avoids harsh friction and over-drying.
• Free of common irritants like synthetic fragrance and parabens to lower sensitivity risk.
• Balances cleansing power with skin comfort for both dry and oil-prone complexions.

Who is this for: Anyone seeking an elevated nightly cleanser that removes makeup and impurities while supporting the skin’s natural protective layer. It suits all skin types—particularly those who want a gentle but effective first step before serums and night treatments, or travelers needing a compact 3.4 fl oz option.
