If your skin reacts badly to harsh scrubs, you need a smarter option. Avene Gentle Exfoliating Gel resurfaces your sensitive skin without stripping or redness. Biodegradable microbeads plus niacinamide leave your complexion visibly smoother after every use.
Key Benefits
- Gentle physical exfoliation: Biodegradable cellulose microbeads lift dead cells without micro-tears or irritation.
- Soft, controlled resurfacing: Rounded jojoba wax microbeads glide over your skin with no harsh abrasion.
- Pore-purifying boost: Niacinamide delivers a chemical purifying effect beyond microbeads alone.
- Refined skin texture: Sodium salicylate enhances peeling for a noticeably even, smooth complexion.
- Instant soothing: Avene Thermal Spring Water calms skin and reduces post-exfoliation redness.
- Eco-conscious formula: Biodegradable ingredients make your routine kinder to the planet.
Key Ingredients
Avene Thermal Spring Water: The brand's clinically proven signature active, it soothes reactive skin and reduces redness during exfoliation. Cellulose Microbeads: Biodegradable physical exfoliants that lift away dead skin cells gently. Jojoba Wax Microbeads: Soft, rounded beads provide controlled mechanical resurfacing without irritation. Niacinamide: A multitasking vitamin B3 active that purifies and refines pores. Sodium Salicylate: A gentle salicylate derivative that enhances the peeling effect for smoother, more even texture.
How to Use
Apply a small amount to damp facial skin two to three times per week, morning or evening. Massage gently in circular motions for 30 to 60 seconds to activate the microbeads. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Follow immediately with your usual moisturizer or serum. Reduce to once weekly if your skin feels any sensitivity after use.
