Eau Thermale Avène Cleanance Cleansing Gel Facial & Body Cleanser, 6.7 oz — Soap-Free, For Oily/Blemish-Prone Skin

Avène Cleanance Cleansing Gel is a soap-free facial and body wash designed to remove excess oil and impurities from oily, blemish-prone skin without drying or clogging pores.

Built on Avène’s dermatology heritage and its calming Thermal Spring Water, this cleansing gel combines gentle surfactants with a plant-derived silymarin extract to help control shine while respecting skin balance. It’s non-comedogenic, paraben-free, and biodegradable, making it an option for daily use on face and body where oily or blemish-prone skin appears.

How does this cleanser remove oil without overdrying?

The formula uses mild, soap-free surfactants that lift sebum and surface impurities without stripping natural lipids. Avène’s Thermal Spring Water helps soothe and maintain comfort, so skin feels cleansed but not tight.

• Soap-free base reduces the risk of over-drying compared with traditional soap.
• Plant-derived silymarin targets excess oil control at the surface.
• Thermal Spring Water provides calming and balancing mineral support.

Can I use it on both my face and body?

Yes — the Cleansing Gel is formulated for use on oily, blemish-prone areas of the face and body. It rinses clean and prepares skin for any follow-up treatments or moisturizers without leaving residue.

• Apply to damp skin on the face, chest, or back where oiliness or blemishes occur.
• Rinse thoroughly to remove surfactants and debris.
• Suitable for morning and evening routines to maintain a clean base.

What ingredients should I expect and are there any irritants?

The product emphasizes a gentle ingredient profile: soap-free surfactants, Avène Thermal Spring Water, and a biodegradable silymarin extract to help with oil control. It is non-comedogenic and free of parabens, though individuals with specific allergies should always check the full label.

• Non-comedogenic formulation reduces pore-clogging risk.
• Paraben-free and biodegradable for a gentler environmental profile.
• Contains plant-based silymarin to support oil management.

How should I fit this cleanser into my skincare routine?

Use twice daily — in the morning and/or evening — as the first step in cleansing oily or blemish-prone skin. Follow with targeted treatments or a lightweight moisturizer to complete your regimen.

• Wet face or body, massage a small amount of gel, then rinse.
• Pat skin dry and apply any serums or non-comedogenic moisturizers.
• Consistent twice-daily use helps maintain a balanced surface environment.

Who is this for: Avène Cleanance Cleansing Gel is suited for people with oily or blemish-prone skin on the face, chest, or back who want a gentle, soap-free cleanser that controls excess oil while remaining non-comedogenic and paraben-free. It’s a practical choice for those who prefer dermatologist-rooted brands and a formula that prepares skin for further treatments without harsh stripping.
