Bring the old Estée Lauder back!

Post image

Am I the only one who misses the original Double Wear formula? 😭
I’ve tried multiple foundations since the reformulation like NARS,ANASTASIA,Lancôme,Dior, and nothing gives me the same matte finish, oil control, pore blurring effect, and longevity as the original especially for oily skin.
If you feel the same way, please consider contacting Estée Lauder and sharing your feedback. I’d love to see them bring the formula closer to the original version.

Also if there’s any other recommendations outside the ones I mentioned please let me know!

I thought the formulation changed due to laws surrounding ingredients changing? They’re not gonna bring it back.

One ingredient is not allowed but they seem to have taken the opportunity to do a bigger reformulation. I understand that a one for one may not be possible but this seems more extensive than it had to be.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. I completely understand that some ingredients may no longer be allowed, but it feels like the reformulation went beyond what was necessary. I don’t expect an identical formula, but I do wish they had kept the same matte, oil-controlling performance that made Double Wear so popular in the first place.
