BEST FOR SKIN TYPE
Normal to oily skin types that tolerate light foaming cleansers. Not ideal for dry, sensitive, or mature skin prone to dehydration.
PROS
• Includes antioxidant and anti-inflammatory extracts (pomegranate, green tea, licorice, cucumber)
• Features beneficial actives such as niacinamide, zinc PCA, and lactobacillus ferment
• Dual-use concept (cleanser or mask) offers versatility
• Gentle taurate surfactant helps reduce harshness
CONS
• Soap-based fatty-acid system likely creates a high pH that can strip the barrier
• Phenoxyethanol and Disodium EDTA may irritate sensitive skin
• Many beneficial actives offer minimal impact in a rinse-off product
• Contains synthetic texturizer (Polyquaternium-7) with no skin benefit
• May leave skin tight or dry if used daily
FINAL VERDICT
The Estée Lauder Nutritious 2-in-1 Foam Cleanser presents a sophisticated ingredient story yet ultimately behaves like an older-generation foaming cleanser: effective at removing impurities, but not pH-balanced enough for long-term skin harmony. Its thoughtful inclusion of probiotics, antioxidants, and niacinamide demonstrates progress in mainstream formulation but the soap base and alkaline reaction prevent it from being truly Functional Beauty-approved.

QUICK VERDICT:
A creamy dual-use cleanser offering deep purification and antioxidant actives, yet its strong surfactants and synthetic additives reduce its barrier safety.
