Gone But Not Forgotten – Temporarily Unavailable

Searching for your signature scent? Reluctant to part with that perfect shade of foundation? The cosmetics industry continuously discontinues products in order to bring consumers the newest trends and innovations.

The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. understands that having a beloved product discontinued can be frustrating, and searching for a replacement can be daunting and time consuming. That’s why we’re currently revamping our Gone But Not Forgotten program to bring you an even better experience. While we work behind the scenes to enhance the platform, the program is temporarily unavailable.

We appreciate your patience and can’t wait to share the improved experience with you soon. Stay tuned—your favorite discontinued products will be just a click away again before you know it!
