Estée Lauder Advanced Night Cleansing Gelée gel-to-foam face cleanser, 3.4 fl oz — 15 amino acids, fragrance-free

Designed as the opening step in a night skincare routine, this renewing gelée turns into a soft, airy foam that cleans without over-drying. The formula is built to lift longwear makeup and daily grime while preserving the skin’s natural protective layers. It’s fragrance-free and crafted to leave skin feeling balanced and comfortable, ready for serums and treatments applied afterward.

How does this cleanser remove long-wear makeup without stripping skin?

The gelée texture melts into a plush foam that loosens pigments and oils from makeup and sunscreen. Instead of aggressive surfactants, the formula uses milder surfactant systems paired with skin-identical amino acids to preserve the acid mantle.

• Gel-to-foam action gently dissolves long-wear cosmetics.
• Mild cleansing agents clean without harsh dehydration.
• Leaves residue-free skin that feels clean but not tight.

What role do the 15 amino acids play in this cleanser?

The product includes fifteen amino acids naturally found in skin’s outer layers to support the barrier and surface hydration. They function as conditioning and balancing agents, helping skin stay comfortable during and after cleansing.

• Amino acids support the skin’s natural moisture network.
• They condition skin so it feels softer post-cleanse.
• Help maintain a healthy surface environment for serum absorption.

Will this cleanser suit sensitive or combination skin types?

This gelée was formulated to be gentle and is free of synthetic fragrance, parabens, phthalates, sulfites, silicones, formaldehyde donors, drying alcohol and mineral oil. Many users with sensitive or combination skin find it comfortable because it cleans without aggressive stripping.

• Fragrance-free and excludes several common irritants.
• Soft foam cleanses without excessively removing oils.
• Suitable for night routines where hydration preservation matters.

How does using this cleanser affect the rest of my night routine?

Starting your regimen with a clean, balanced surface helps subsequent treatments perform better. Estée Lauder testing indicates improved serum penetration when skin is properly cleansed, which can aid absorption of nighttime serums and oils.

• Cleansed skin allows better contact and absorption of serums.
• Prepares skin to receive active treatments without interference from makeup or residue.
• Leaves a soft, even base for follow-up hydration steps.

Who is this for: This cleanser is for anyone seeking a refined nighttime face wash that removes long-wear makeup, supports the skin’s natural barrier, and leaves skin feeling soft rather than tight. It fits well into evening routines for normal, combination, oily, and sensitive skin types, and is especially useful for those who follow with targeted nighttime serums and want a clean, hydrated canvas.
