Avene Tolerance Gentle Cleanser is made for skin that reacts to almost everything. It removes impurities and makeup without breaking your natural skin barrier. No rinsing needed, no fragrance, no harsh additives. Just clean, calm skin you can count on twice a day.

Key Benefits

  • No-rinse formula: Wipe away impurities with a cotton pad. No extra steps, no water irritation.
  • Barrier-safe cleansing: Removes makeup and daily grime without drying your skin or disrupting its natural shield.
  • Instant redness relief: Avene Thermal Spring Water calms irritation on contact and keeps skin comfortable all day.
  • Free from common irritants: No fragrance, no parabens, no silicones, no soap. Nothing your skin does not need.
  • Ultra-minimal formula: Fewer ingredients mean fewer chances of a reaction for hypersensitive skin types.
  • Morning and evening use: Gentle enough for twice-daily cleansing without stripping or sensitizing your skin.

Key Ingredients

Avene Thermal Spring Water: Sourced in the Cevennes mountains of southern France. This water is naturally low in mineral content. It soothes reactive skin on first contact. It visibly reduces redness and slowly rebuilds comfort over time. French dermatologists have relied on it for decades. It is what makes this cleanser genuinely safe for the most reactive skin types.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Avene Tolerance Gentle Cleanser safe during pregnancy?

Avene Tolerance Extremely Gentle Cleanser for Sensitive Skin does not contain ingredients commonly flagged for pregnancy or breastfeeding, and many customers use it during that time. Avene does not make a specific pregnancy claim, so please check with your physician or midwife if you have any doubt.

How long until I notice results with this cleanser?

Most users notice calmer, less irritated skin within the first few days of switching. Because this cleanser removes the trigger of harsh surfactants, reactive skin often resets quickly. Expect consistent improvement in redness and comfort within one to two weeks.

Can I use this cleanser before applying a retinol serum?

Yes, it is ideal as a pre-retinol cleanser. It is no-rinse and does not strip your skin barrier. This leaves your skin ready to absorb retinol without extra dryness. Apply it first, then wait a few minutes before your retinol.

Is this the same as the Avene micellar water?

No, this is a different formula. The Tolerance Gentle Cleanser is a milk-texture, no-rinse cleanser. It is designed for hypersensitive and reactive skin with a minimal ingredient list. Most Avene micellar products have more ingredients. This one keeps it as simple as possible.
