Estée Lauder Advanced Night Cleansing Balm makeup remover 2.2 fl oz — lipid-rich, 25% safflower oil

Designed as the opening step of an evening ritual, this Estée Lauder Advanced Night Cleansing Balm starts as a smooth, buttery solid, converts to a silky oil while massaging, then rinses into a lightweight milk—removing stubborn makeup without stripping the skin. The formula contains a lipid-rich oil infusion with 25% safflower seed oil to comfort and condition skin while preserving its moisture balance and natural barrier.

How does this cleanser remove waterproof and long-wear makeup?

The balm uses an oil-based approach to dissolve oil-soluble pigments and waterproof formulas, lifting them away rather than scrubbing. Gentle massaging helps break down makeup on face, eyes and lips, while the rinse phase turns the oil into a milk that leaves no heavy residue.

• Dissolves long-wear and waterproof face, eye and lip makeup
• Breaks down sunscreen and daily pollutants without harsh friction
• Rinses clean into a milky texture so no greasy film remains

What skin sensations and results can I expect after using it?

The formula is formulated to feel comforting and nourishing rather than tight or dry. In consumer testing of 104 women, the vast majority reported immediate softness, comfort and a healthy-looking glow after use, reflecting the cleanser’s conditioning profile.

• Leaves skin feeling soft, smooth and nourished
• Designed to maintain the skin’s moisture barrier and natural pH balance
• Provides a comforting, cocooning texture experience during cleansing

Why is the safflower seed oil important in this formula?

Safflower seed oil is a lipid-rich emollient that helps replenish and smooth the skin surface without heaviness. At a concentrated level in this cleanser, it supports hydration and leaves skin feeling conditioned after cleansing.

• Contains 25% safflower seed oil for nourishment and suppleness
• Helps replenish lipids lost during the day without clogging pores
• Supports a soft, conditioned finish suitable for daily use

Is this product suitable for sensitive or all skin types?

Formulated to be gentle, the balm avoids common harsh ingredients and is crafted to cleanse effectively without stripping. It’s presented as a first-step cleanser appropriate for a broad range of skin types, though patch testing is recommended for very reactive skin.

• Made without gluten, sulfates, parabens, phthalates, silicones and mineral oil
• Free from drying alcohols and animal-derived ingredients
• Suitable as a nightly first cleanse for most skin types

Who is this for: This cleansing balm is for anyone seeking a luxurious, effective first-step cleanser—especially those who wear long-wear or waterproof makeup, daily sunscreen users, and people who prefer an oil-based wash that conditions skin. It’s ideal for shoppers who want a sensorial cleansing ritual that removes stubborn products while maintaining softness and skin comfort.
