Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this exfoliating gel safe for very sensitive skin?
Yes, Avène Gentle Exfoliating Gel is specifically formulated for sensitive and hypersensitive skin. Biodegradable microbeads and Avène Thermal Spring Water work together to resurface without stripping, so your skin stays calm and comfortable after use.
How often should I use this exfoliating gel each week?
Use it one to two times per week on damp skin. Overuse can disrupt your skin barrier, so start with once weekly if your skin is especially reactive, then increase gradually based on how your skin responds.
Does this gel contain plastic microbeads harmful to the environment?
No, the microbeads in this formula are biodegradable cellulose and jojoba wax. They provide effective physical exfoliation without the environmental impact associated with traditional plastic microbeads found in older scrub formulas.
Can I use this Avène exfoliating gel on my body?
It is designed primarily for facial use, especially sensitive facial skin. The formula is gentle enough for the face, but Avène offers other body-specific products if you need exfoliation for larger skin areas.
