Aveda Foaming Cleanser for Acne-Prone Skin — Outer Peace 4.2 fl oz, Plant-Powered Gentle Daily Wash

Aveda Outer Peace Foaming Cleanser is a lightweight, plant-powered daily face wash designed to gently remove oil, makeup, and impurities from acne-prone skin without harsh stripping.

This facial cleanser is formulated from 98% naturally derived ingredients and blends botanical extracts such as tamanu, amla, boswellia, and saw palmetto to cleanse effectively while remaining gentle on stressed or blemish-prone skin. The airy foam lifts away surface oil and residue and is free from common irritants like synthetic fragrances, sulfates (SLS/SLES), parabens, mineral oil, silicones, and animal-derived ingredients. Pairing this cleanser with complementary treatments like acne relief pads can help keep your routine consistent and simple.

How does this cleanser remove oil and makeup without drying my skin?

The formula produces a soft foam that breaks down sebum and cosmetic products without aggressive surfactants, helping preserve skin's natural moisture balance. Plant-derived ingredients support cleansing action while lightweight emollients avoid heavy residues.

• Soft foaming texture lifts oil and light makeup gently.
• Absence of SLS/SLES and mineral oil reduces harsh stripping.
• 98% naturally derived base combines cleansing and mild conditioning.
• Rinse-off formula leaves skin feeling clean, not tight.

Which plant extracts are included and what do they contribute?

Outer Peace uses a blend of botanical extracts selected for balancing and soothing properties alongside gentle cleansing. Each plant ingredient was chosen to support clearer-looking skin while minimizing irritation.

• Tamanu: traditionally used for calming and supporting skin appearance.
• Amla: antioxidant-rich plant extract for overall skin resilience.
• Boswellia: helps comfort skin that has been stressed or prone to congestion.
• Saw palmetto: botanical often used to help regulate excess oiliness.

How should I use Aveda Outer Peace Foaming Cleanser in my routine?

Use this cleanser twice daily—morning and evening—as the first step in your skincare routine for acne-prone skin. Dispense one to two pumps, massage gently across damp face and neck, then rinse thoroughly; follow with any targeted treatments or moisturizers your regimen requires.

• AM and PM use: gentle enough for twice-a-day cleansing.
• Dispense 1–2 pumps into hands or a warm washcloth.
• Massage over face and neck, then rinse clean with water.
• Follow with serums, acne pads, or moisturizer as needed.

Who is this for? Aveda Outer Peace Foaming Cleanser is aimed at people with oily or acne-prone skin who prefer plant-forward, cruelty-free products and want a dependable, everyday wash that removes oil and makeup without harsh detergents. It is appropriate for those seeking formulations without synthetic fragrance, parabens, silicones, mineral oil, or animal-derived ingredients, and for customers who want a gentle yet effective first step in a clearer-skin routine. If you use active topical treatments, this cleanser functions as a mild, non-irritating wash to complement those products rather than replace them.

Ingredients note: Per ISO 16128, 98% of the formula is derived from plants, non-petroleum minerals, or water. Always patch-test a new product and consult a skincare professional for personalized guidance.
