Eau Thermale Avène Cleanance Cleansing Gel — Soap-Free Face & Body Cleanser, 6.7 oz for Oily Acne-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 stripping or clogging pores.

Formulated around Avène Thermal Spring Water and gentle surfactants, this gel cleanser targets shine and surface impurities while supporting the skin’s comfort. The lightweight formula is non-comedogenic and paraben-free, and includes a plant-derived extract—silymarin—to help control excess sebum. It cleanses both face and body and can be used as the first step in a daily skincare routine for those with oily or acne-prone skin.

How does this cleanser remove oil without drying my skin?

The Cleanance gel uses mild surfactants and a soap-free base that lift oil and dirt without disrupting the skin’s natural barrier. Avène Thermal Spring Water soothes while the silymarin extract helps reduce excess sebum production over time. The overall balance of ingredients aims to cleanse effectively yet gently.

• Mild, soap-free cleansing agents that avoid harsh stripping
• Silymarin (plant-based) to address excess oil
• Avène Thermal Spring Water to calm and comfort during cleansing
• Non-comedogenic formula to reduce pore-clogging risk

Can I use this on both my face and body?

Yes—the gel is formulated for use on oily or blemish-prone areas of the face and body. Its consistency rinses clean, making it suitable for chest and back breakouts as well as facial oiliness. Use on moistened skin and follow with your usual topical treatments or moisturizers.

• Safe for face, chest, and back where oiliness occurs
• Rinses clean without residue for body application
• Compatible with follow-up serums and moisturizers

How often should I use Avène Cleanance Cleansing Gel?

For most people with oily or blemish-prone skin, cleansing twice daily—morning and evening—is appropriate. Apply to damp skin, gently massage to emulsify oils and impurities, then rinse thoroughly. Adjust frequency if your skin shows signs of sensitivity or dryness by reducing to once daily.

• Recommended: morning and evening on moistened skin
• Massage into pores, then rinse completely with lukewarm water
• Reduce usage if irritation or excessive dryness appears

What are the key ingredients and consumer-friendly features?

The formula is built around Avène Thermal Spring Water and a biodegradable, plant-derived silymarin extract to help manage oiliness. It is also paraben-free and non-comedogenic, crafted to minimize the chance of blocked pores. Packaging and formulation follow dermatological principles rooted in Avène’s hydrotherapy heritage.

• Avène Thermal Spring Water for soothing properties
• Silymarin: plant-based extract aimed at excess sebum control
• Biodegradable formula with no parabens and non-comedogenic status

Who is this for: Avène Cleanance Cleansing Gel is suited for people with oily or blemish-prone skin who want a gentle, effective daily wash for both face and body. It is a practical choice for those seeking a non-comedogenic, paraben-free cleanser that pairs well with acne-targeted products and hydrating follow-ups.
