Estée Lauder Nutritious Foaming Face Wash & Mask, 4.2 oz — Dual Cleanser for Pore Minimizing with Niacinamide

Estée Lauder Nutritious 2-in-1 Foaming Face Wash is a dual-purpose cleanser that works as a gentle daily foam and as a purifying overnight-style mask to help remove excess oil and reduce the visible look of pores.

This lightweight foaming formula is formulated with the brand’s Nutri-9 Complex—featuring Sweet Kelp, Red Algae Ferment and Coconut Water Ferment—plus niacinamide to support cleaner, brighter-looking skin. It rinses away oil, surface impurities and the day’s build-up without harsh stripping, and can be used every morning and evening or left on briefly as a deeper-purifying treatment. The product is made with 97% naturally derived ingredients and the Nutritious line is EWG VERIFIED®, while the tube contains at least 27% post-consumer recycled content.

How does this cleanser work for daily use?

As a daily foaming cleanser, it lifts away excess oils, sweat and environmental residue to leave skin feeling clean and refreshed. The foam texture provides a gentle but effective cleanse that preps skin for serums and moisturizers without over-drying.

• Soft foam lathers to dissolve surface oils and light makeup
• Niacinamide helps support a refined look to skin texture
• Leaves a clean base for subsequent skincare steps

Can this product be used as a purifying mask?

Yes—applied more thickly and left on for a few minutes, the formula acts as a wash-off purifying mask to target excess oil and visibly minimize pore appearance. It’s designed for periodic deeper cleansing without aggressive exfoliants.

• Apply a thicker layer on T-zone or oily areas, leave 2–5 minutes, then rinse
• Helps reduce the look of oil and pore size after a single use in clinical/consumer testing
• Suitable for weekly use as a clarifying boost

What key ingredients are inside and why do they matter?

The Nutri-9 Complex combines responsibly sourced botanicals and proprietary ferments to support a fresh, balanced feel. Niacinamide is included for its skin-brightening and texture-supporting reputation, while the ferments help condition the skin surface.

• Sweet Kelp: responsibly sourced marine extract for nutrient support
• Red Algae Ferment and Coconut Water Ferment: conditioning ferments to refresh skin
• Niacinamide: helps promote more even-looking texture and radiance

Are there formulation and sustainability considerations I should know?

The formula is free of animal-derived ingredients, synthetic fragrances and many controversial additives like parabens, phthalates, sulfates and silicones. The Nutritious collection also carries EWG VERIFIED® status and the packaging incorporates recycled materials to reduce environmental impact.

• 97% naturally derived ingredients per ISO 16128
• EWG VERIFIED®—meets third-party standards for ingredient transparency
• Tube contains at least 27% post-consumer recycled content
