A soft, soap-free daily wash that respects sensitive skin
Avène Body Gentle Shower Gel is a soap-free shower gel for sensitive skin on the face and body, suitable for the whole family. Its gentle cleansing base at physiological pH washes without stripping, while glycerin helps keep the skin hydrated. A blend of shea, camelina and safflower oils helps nourish and protect against oxidative stress, and Avène Thermal Spring Water soothes. It leaves skin clean, soft and comfortable after every shower.
The texture
A smooth gel that turns into a soft, creamy lather with a little water and rinses off easily. It carries a delicate, fresh scent.
Who it suits
- Sensitive skin that feels tight after ordinary shower gels
- Everyday use for adults and children
- Face and body in one step
- Families who want one gentle wash for the bathroom
Worth knowing before you buy: it contains fragrance and sodium laureth sulfate. Very dry, sensitive skin will prefer a richer, lipid-replenishing wash such as Avène XeraCalm.
How long one bottle lasts
With one pump per shower, the 500ml pump bottle lasts one person about three to four months, or around a month for a family of four.
