60% Spring Water!

This soap-free cleanser lathers nicely while gently removing make-up, impurities and excess oil. With a pH of 7.2, it helps minimise the production of excess sebum (oil) by gently cleaning the skin without stripping it of all its natural moisture.

The beautiful turquoise-coloured gel comes in a 200ml clear plastic bottle and contains zinc gluconate which has anti-inflammatory properties, but I was surprise to see that it's made up of 60% Avéne Thermal Spring Water! (supposed to soothe and soften the skin). This explains the expensive price ... the main ingredient is "thermal spring water".

I have a very oily skin and found that it cleansed nicely without leaving my skin feeling tight or dry and it was a little less oily after using the cleanser for a few weeks.

It does a good job of removing most make-up when used on its own and applied with the fingers (no make-up remover used beforehand) but I found that when removing long-wear pencil eyeliner formulas, I needed to use a wash cloth or facial sponge with the cleanser.

Comparing this to other soap-free cleansers that I've tried in the past, this one is very expensive and seems to have less beneficial ingredients than some of the others (no antioxidants, healing Aloe Vera, etc.). Personally, I wouldn't purchase this product again, not for that price.

Tips: Place a small amount of the cleanser onto your palm or a facial sponge and add a little water. Rub your hands together (or rub your fingertips over the sponge) to create a rich later before applying it to your face.

Amazing cleanser!

I love this cleanser and have used it for now two years. I used to have a really bad acne and now it's practically gone. You apply it and rub it in, until it foams a bit and then wash it off. It is very easy to do and it does not make imperfections burn - it just leaves your face feeling healthy and fresh, possibly because of the amount of spring water! When using this for a cleanser before bed, it is also amazing at removing makeup. You do not need to remove makeup before using this, since it does the job fine by itself!

LOVE IT!

Tips: Buy the Avène Clean-Ac hydrating cream for good hydration after rinsing the face

Favourite cleanser

I love this cleanser and have been using it for years! I use this after my make-up remover and it works really well to clean my face without any dryness or discomfort. I have quite a few acne scars and the occasional pimples and I find that this works nicely to remove the oil without over drying my skin since it doesn't foam up a lot. This range from avene is especially targeted for acne/blemish prone skin and it does exactly that, plus it would work great for sensitive skin as it's so gentle.

Tips: Only a small pea-sized amount needed each time and one bottle lasts me well over 6 months.

Avene Cleanance Gel soapless cleanser

I tried this on the recommendation from a friend who thought it was absolutely amazing. Her skin always looked great and I am always willing to try something new.

I use this as a makeup remover and it is so easy to use. You really only need a small amount to get great results. I pour it into my hand and rub onto my face, add a bit of water and in a circular motion massage your skin. Rinse and there you have it. Clean and clear skin. I use the Avene Thermal Spring Water as a toner. A great duo.

Avene Cleanance Gel soapless cleanser

The thing that stood out about this is how little of it you actually need to use and it does a great job of cleaning my face , especially removing make- up. It makes my skin feel bright and fresh after a wash. This is a great product specially for my oily blemish prone skin .

Unfortunately not for me!

I was super excited to review the Avene Cleanance range (cleanser, toner, acne cream) but unfortunately these products used in conjunction were all too harsh for my skin! My skin was red, my acne was worse and to add to my woes my skin was covered in tiny bumps - yes a rash! I think it may have been too much, too soon for my skin (double cleansing plus all the new products) I now have terrible acne i cannot clear up and painful, sore skin - boo!

Tips: Patch test first! And start by using a tiny amount of product!

Currently on the fence

I'm on the fence with this product, I think I need to give it more time. It was recommended to me by a pharmacist as I have very temperamental skin, its dry and sensitive but also acne prone. This product is supposed to be gentle enough for sensitive skin but help clear away acne. I love it for its acne properties I have been using it for about 3 weeks and my acne has reduced significantly. It is also gentle enough on my sensitive skin that I haven't seen any irritation however I do find it a bit drying. I am going to stick with it for a bit long as the pharmacist recommended to use it for at least 6 weeks. Fingers crossed I see even more of an improvement. You only need a little bit of this product, the liquid foams up a lot and your skin feels very clean after use.

Tips: Only use a tiny amount as it foams up a lot

Awesome cleanser

Loved this product. Amazing on sensitive skin and has helped my skin immensely. I have periorial dermatitis and this was gentle enough not to irritate when used. The face wash is a bit steep on the price, but it lasts for a long time as you only need a pea size amount. Nice smell and reduces acne.

Its great but pricey

This soap free cleanser is very good. It cleared up my breakouts and controlled my oily skin but so does my trusty Clearasil which is cheaper. A little goes a long way so it does last a while but I didn't want to repurchase as I found in comparison to Clearasil is wasn't any better performance wise and was a lot more expensive.
