Estée Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue Moisturizing Foundation SPF 45 — 3N2 Wheat, 12‑Hour Radiant Hydration

Estée Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue Moisturizing Foundation SPF 45 is a buildable medium-to-full coverage foundation that hydrates, protects with broad-spectrum SPF 45, and delivers a 12-hour radiant, natural-looking glow.

Blending makeup performance with skincare benefits, this lightweight foundation is formulated with an IonCharged Water Complex, probiotic technology and chia-seed extract to soothe, hydrate and help defend skin from environmental stressors. It evens skin tone, blurs discoloration and delivers a luminous finish that lasts through the day, while providing UVA/UVB protection. The 1.2 fl oz bottle in shade 3N2 Wheat is designed for comfortable wear and buildable coverage.

How does this foundation deliver both coverage and skincare benefits?

Futurist Hydra Rescue combines pigment and active skin-supporting ingredients so you get concealment and treatment in one step. Lightweight emollients and hydration boosters keep the formula breathable while pigments create medium-to-full, buildable coverage that blurs imperfections without feeling heavy.

• Buildable medium-to-full coverage that evens skin tone and minimizes redness.
• IonCharged Water Complex for instant and lasting hydration.
• Probiotic technology and chia-seed extract to soothe and support the skin barrier.
• Lightweight texture that layers easily under or over other products.

Will the SPF 45 protect my skin during everyday wear?

The formula provides broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection with SPF 45 to help shield skin from sun exposure during daily activities. While the foundation adds a significant protective step, it’s best used alongside your regular sun-care routine—reapply sunscreen or use additional sun protection for extended outdoor exposure.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 45 built into the foundation for daily protection.
• Adds a protective layer while delivering coverage and radiance.
• Recommended to supplement with standalone sunscreen for prolonged outdoor time.

How long does the radiant finish last, and how does it wear on different skin types?

The finish is engineered to preserve a natural, radiant glow for up to 12 hours in clinical testing. Hydrating components help maintain comfort on dry skin, while the breathable base prevents heavy buildup on combination or oilier complexions. Individual wear time may vary with climate and activity level.

• Clinically shown to maintain a radiant glow for up to 12 hours.
• Hydration-rich formula prevents flaking on drier skin types.
• Breathable texture minimizes cakey buildup on normal to combination skin.
• Best set with primer or powder in very humid or extremely oily conditions.
