If your skin fights breakouts but every cleanser leaves you tight and flaky, you need a smarter formula. Avene Cleanance Cleansing Gel purifies oily, acne-prone skin without disrupting your barrier. It is the daily cleanser French dermatologists prescribe for blemish-prone patients who cannot tolerate harsh foaming washes.

Key Benefits

  • Removes makeup and excess oil: Mild surfactants lift impurities without stripping or irritation.
  • Mattifies oily zones: Zinc Gluconate helps control shine throughout the day.
  • Soothes while it cleanses: Avene Thermal Spring Water calms redness and reactive skin in real time.
  • Soap-free, balanced pH: No tightness, no post-wash dryness, even on sensitive skin.
  • Biodegradable formula: Safe for contact lens wearers if water splashes near eyes.

Key Ingredients

Avene Thermal Spring Water: Clinically proven to soothe sensitive and irritated skin with trace minerals. Zinc Gluconate: A gentle sebum-regulating mineral that mattifies and reduces oiliness. Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate: A mild surfactant that cleanses without stripping the skin barrier. Zinc Coceth Sulfate: A co-surfactant that lifts impurities while respecting skin pH.
