"Estee Lauder Double Wear was so impressive, this reformulated version is amazing. It's like a holy grail for people with oily skin, it's super long lasting, and it's still the number one foundation in Korean duty free. I wasn't a fan of the original Double Wear because the color wasn't flattering for Korean skin tones, but this reformulated version is a good choice if you're dry, mature skin and over forty, or if you want a matte foundation for summer."

"This foundation has a solid shade range for deeper skin with good undertone options. The coverage is full and it truly lasts all day without breaking down or oxidizing. It handles hyperpigmentation really well and doesn't budge through heat or humidity. The formula is buildable without getting cakey. It does have a more matte finish, so if you want something ultra dewy, this isn't it. But for long lasting, reliable coverage, this delivers."

"Estée Lauder Double Wear is actually quite a bit orange. It's not like so orange, it's not as bad as the Makeup Forever one. It's a little bit more of a yellowy orange. It's not completely terrible when you look it next to About Face, but you can definitely see that that orange is really standing out, especially next to the olive foundation."

"It really is incredibly longwearing, it's full coverage, it looks flawless. If somebody doesn't like the skin tints, doesn't like all these new things everybody's talking about, and they just want a classic foundation, Double Wear takes all the boxes of what a person looking for a good foundation would need. If they're looking for full coverage that's going to last all day, give you full coverage, not going to look cakey, going to look like a skin finish, and lots of shade range."

"I believe this has to be the reformulated version, and I personally really like the reformulated version. I do feel like the old one had a little bit of a leg up to it, [...] but I do still like the reformulated version of Double Wear."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
