Eau Thermale Avène Cleanance Cleansing Gel — Soap-Free Gel Cleanser for Oily, Acne-Prone Skin, Alcohol-Free

Avène Cleanance Cleansing Gel is a soap-free, non-comedogenic gel cleanser that removes excess oil and impurities from face and body without stripping sensitive, blemish-prone skin.

Developed by Avène’s dermatological and hydrotherapy heritage, this gentle gel is designed for oily and acne-prone skin types that need cleansing without irritation. The formula is alcohol-free, paraben-free and includes a plant-derived extract (silymarin) to help manage surface shine while remaining biodegradable and suitable for daily use. Dermatologists commonly recommend it as a routine cleanser for adolescents and adults who want effective cleansing with minimal drying.

How does this cleanser control oil while staying gentle?

The Cleanance Cleansing Gel targets excess sebum and visible impurities with surfactants chosen to cleanse without harsh drying agents. Instead of stripping the skin, it preserves the skin’s natural balance so the barrier remains comfortable after rinsing.

• Soap-free gel base removes oil and dirt without alkaline soaps.
• Silymarin (plant extract) helps reduce surface shine.
• Alcohol-free formula avoids stinging or tightness.
• Non-comedogenic, so it won’t clog pores or promote breakouts.

When and how should I use the Cleanance Cleansing Gel?

Use it twice daily—morning and evening—on moistened face and body to keep skin clean and comfortable. A small amount massaged into damp skin creates a mild lather that rinses away impurities easily.

• Apply to damp skin, massage gently, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Suitable for both face and body areas prone to oiliness or blemishes.
• Safe for adolescent and adult use as part of daily skincare routines.
• Follow with targeted treatments or a non-comedogenic moisturizer if desired.

Is this product suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?

Yes — Avène’s roots in thermal spring water and dermatological care inform a formulation that aims to minimize irritation. The gel avoids harsh additives and is free of parabens and drying alcohols, making it more tolerable for reactive, oily skin types.

• Paraben-free and formulated for minimal irritation.
• Alcohol-free to reduce stinging or tight sensations.
• Recommended by dermatologists for sensitive, oily skin needs.
• Biodegradable ingredients align with gentler environmental impact goals.

What results can I expect and how quickly?

Immediate effects include cleaner-feeling skin and reduced surface residue and shine after each wash. Over repeated use, many users observe fewer clogged pores and a more balanced skin appearance when combined with appropriate follow-up care.

• Instantly removes oil, sweat, and grime without tightness.
• Consistent use helps reduce visible pore congestion.
• Works on both facial and body areas prone to blemishes.
• Does not interfere with topical treatments or dermatological routines.
