The gentlest way to cleanse and remove makeup from reactive skin
Avène Tolérance Extremely Gentle Cleanser is a no-rinse gelled cleansing lotion for sensitive, hypersensitive, intolerant and allergy-prone skin. It removes makeup from the face, eyes and lips with a short list of mild cleansing agents, so there is as little as possible to irritate the skin. Avène Thermal Spring Water softens and soothes, and D-Sensinose, Avène's patented postbiotic active, calms the skin while you cleanse. Skin is left clean, comfortable and protected from drying out.
The texture
A soft, fresh gel-lotion that contains very little oil, so it suits combination skin, yet feels comfortable enough for dry skin. It lifts makeup without rubbing and leaves no residue.
Who it suits
- Hypersensitive, reactive or allergy-prone skin
- Skin that reacts to hard tap water
- Sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers
- Dry and combination skin alike
Worth knowing before you buy: it is fragrance-free and designed for everyday makeup. For heavy waterproof mascara, a dedicated biphase eye makeup remover works faster.
How long one bottle lasts
Used morning and evening with a hazelnut-sized amount, the 200ml bottle lasts around two months.
