A soap-free gel that purifies and mattifies without drying
Avène Cleanance Soapless Gel Cleanser is a gentle soap-free cleanser for the daily care of oily, blemish-prone skin, on the face and body. Avène Thermal Spring Water soothes and softens, while zinc gluconate helps purify the skin and limit excess sebum for a more matte complexion. A mild washing base removes impurities without stripping, so even sensitive skin stays comfortable. It forms a pleasant foam and leaves the skin clean and fresh.
The texture
A clear green gel that lathers into a soft foam on damp skin and rinses away easily, without a tight feeling.
Who it suits
- Oily and combination skin
- Blemish-prone skin, including sensitive
- Teenagers and adults
- Face and body
Worth knowing before you buy: The gel contains fragrance and colourants. For very dry skin under drying acne treatments, a richer cleanser may be more comfortable.
How long one tube lasts
The 100ml size suits travel or a first try: used morning and evening on the face, it lasts about 4 weeks.
