Your skin is irritated, reactive, and your current cleanser is only making it worse. Avene Cicalfate+ Purifying Cleansing Gel is the authentic French pharmacy cleanser that removes impurities without disrupting your moisture barrier. Whether you're recovering from a procedure, tattoo, or daily sensitivity, your skin deserves a gentler approach.

Key Benefits

  • Purifies gently: removes makeup, oil, and daily impurities without drying your skin out.
  • Soothes irritation: Avene Thermal Spring Water calms redness and sensitivity with each wash.
  • Limits microbial buildup: helps protect vulnerable and post-procedure skin from unwanted bacteria.
  • Whole-family safe: gentle enough for newborns, children, and the most reactive adult skin.
  • Multi-area versatility: safe for face, body, scalp, hands, and external intimate areas.
  • 98% natural-origin ingredients: fragrance-free formula you can use every single day.

Key Ingredients

Avene Thermal Spring Water: the brand's signature active, clinically shown to soothe and soften sensitive, reactive skin with every rinse. This mineral-rich water is the foundation of every Avene formula and works to calm redness on contact. No synthetic fragrance and no harsh surfactants are used, making this cleanser ideal for skin that needs real relief, not just a rinse.

How to Use

Wet your skin with lukewarm water. Apply a small amount of gel to your face, body, or target area once or twice daily. The blue gel lathers gently on contact. Massage in circular motions to lift impurities, then rinse thoroughly. Gently pat your skin dry without rubbing. For post-tattoo care, begin cleansing with this gel 24 hours after your tattoo, then follow with a moisturizing repair care after 72 hours.
