Eau Thermale Avène Gentle Exfoliating Gel facial scrub, 2.5 oz — niacinamide & Thermal Spring Water

Avène Gentle Exfoliating Gel is a soap-free facial scrub that refines texture and clears surface impurities using cellulose microbeads and soothing Thermal Spring Water.

This lightweight gel scrub combines gentle physical exfoliation with calming Avène Thermal Spring Water and niacinamide to help reveal a brighter, smoother complexion without over-drying. Formulated to be biodegradable and non-comedogenic, it removes dead skin cells and unclogs pores while maintaining the skin’s natural balance. Use sparingly—once or twice weekly—to refresh skin texture and encourage a more even-looking surface.

How does this exfoliating gel work on sensitive or reactive skin?

The formula relies on fine cellulose microbeads for mild mechanical exfoliation rather than harsh, abrasive particles. Avène Thermal Spring Water is included to soothe and temper sensitivity during the exfoliation process, while the gel base rinses clean without leaving residue.

• Cellulose microbeads gently lift dead skin cells without large abrasive grains
• Thermal Spring Water calms skin during and after application
• Soap-free texture reduces risk of stripping oils
• Non-comedogenic formula minimizes pore-clogging

What visible differences can I expect after regular use?

With proper, occasional use (once or twice a week), skin texture appears smoother and pores look less congested. Regular exfoliation removes dulling surface cells so light reflects more evenly, helping skin look radiantly refreshed.

• Smoother surface texture and softer skin feel
• Fewer visible surface impurities and reduced pore congestion
• Improved skin radiance from removal of dead cells
• Even rinse-off to avoid post-cleanse residue

How should I use this scrub safely in my routine?

Apply a small amount and gently massage in circular motions on wet or dry skin, avoiding the eye area. Rinse thoroughly and follow with your usual toner or moisturizer; limit use to one or two times weekly to prevent over-exfoliation.

• Use once or twice a week only, not daily
• Avoid delicate eye area to prevent irritation
• Can be applied to either wet or dry skin before rinsing
• Pat skin dry and apply soothing serum or moisturizer afterward

Does this product suit acne-prone or oily skin types?

The non-comedogenic formulation and niacinamide make it appropriate for oily and blemish-prone skin that needs gentle unclogging without heavy oils. While it helps clear surface impurities, pair it with your acne-fighting or targeted treatments as advised by your skincare professional.

• Non-comedogenic to reduce risk of pore blockage
• Niacinamide helps support skin barrier and tone
• Biodegradable ingredients for a cleaner formula profile
• Use alongside prescribed acne treatments when recommended

Who is this for: Avène Gentle Exfoliating Gel is intended for anyone seeking a mild physical scrub that refines texture and clears surface debris without harsh abrasives—especially people with sensitive, combination, oily, or congestion-prone skin. If you want a predictable, rinse-away exfoliant that includes calming Thermal Spring Water and avoids soaps and heavy oils, this compact 2.5 oz tube fits into weekly skincare maintenance routines.
