Eau Thermale Avène Cleanance Cleansing Gel – Soap‑Free Face & Body Wash for Oily, Acne‑Prone Skin, Alcohol‑Free

Avène Cleanance Cleansing Gel is a soap‑free facial and body wash that gently removes oil and impurities without drying or clogging pores.

Designed for oily, blemish‑prone skin, this dermatologist‑trusted gel uses a plant‑based extract to help regulate excess sebum while maintaining the skin’s natural moisture balance. Alcohol‑free and non‑comedogenic, the formula is paraben‑free and biodegradable, making it suitable for daily use on both face and body. Lightweight and foaming, it cleanses thoroughly yet softly so skin feels refreshed, not stripped.

How does Cleanance Cleansing Gel control oil without over‑drying?

The gel relies on mild surfactants and a botanical extract known for helping reduce excess oil, delivering a clean feel while preserving hydration. Because it is soap‑free, it does not alter the skin’s natural pH as aggressively as traditional soaps, lowering the chance of rebound oiliness or tightness.

• Soap‑free gel base that foams gently
• Plant‑derived silymarin extract to help manage sebum
• Alcohol‑free formulation to avoid excessive drying
• Non‑comedogenic to reduce pore congestion

Will this cleanser irritate sensitive or acne‑prone skin?

Avène is formulated from a dermatology and hydrotherapy background to suit sensitive complexions; the Cleanance Cleansing Gel avoids harsh irritants and common sensitizers. Its gentle profile makes it compatible with blemish‑prone skin and safe to use alongside many topical acne treatments, though patch testing or dermatologist guidance is recommended for individual concerns.

• Free of parabens and alcohol to minimize irritation risk
• Non‑comedogenic to help prevent new breakouts
• Suitable for adolescents and adults with sensitive oily skin
• Can be used on both face and body areas prone to blemishes

How and when should I use the Cleanance Cleansing Gel?

For best results, apply the gel to damp skin twice daily — morning and evening — to remove dirt, sweat, and excess oil. Lather gently and rinse thoroughly; follow with your usual toner, treatment, or moisturizer suited for oily or combination skin.

• Use on moistened face and/or body for effective cleansing
• Recommended twice daily: morning and evening
• Works well before topical acne treatments or serums
• Small amount produces a lightweight foam for easy spread

What makes this cleanser environmentally and skin friendly?

The formulation includes biodegradable ingredients and a plant‑based active, reflecting Avène’s focus on gentle, responsible skincare. Minimal use of preservatives and the omission of parabens reduce chemical load, while the non‑stripping action supports the skin’s natural barrier function.

• Biodegradable formula to lessen environmental impact
• Plant‑based silymarin extract instead of harsh synthetic actives
• Paraben‑free to avoid certain preservative concerns
• Dermatologist‑trusted brand with hydrotherapy heritage
