A soft body scrub that smooths without scratching
Avène Body Gentle Scrub is a creamy body exfoliant for sensitive skin that wants a smoother feel without harsh grains. It works in two ways: fine cellulose particles lift away dead cells, while a mild cleansing base washes off impurities. Avène Thermal Spring Water comes first in the formula to soothe, and shea, camelina and safflower oils leave skin soft rather than tight. Used once or twice a week, it leaves the body smoother and ready for moisturiser.
The texture
A pink, creamy gel with small, soft particles. It glides on damp skin, lathers lightly and rinses off cleanly, without an oily film. It has a light scent.
Who it suits
- Sensitive skin that reacts to coarse salt or sugar scrubs
- Dull, rough areas like elbows, knees and heels
- Getting skin ready before self-tan or after summer
- Anyone who wants a weekly exfoliating step in the shower
Worth knowing before you buy: this scrub contains fragrance and sodium laureth sulfate. It is too much for daily use and not meant for irritated or sun-exposed skin. If your skin is very dry, stick to a nourishing wash and a balm instead.
How long one tube lasts
Used once or twice a week on the whole body, the 200ml tube lasts around two to three months.
