Avene Gentle Cleanser

I am really loving this.

This does such a great job of cleaning my face. I use this every night before bed. It does a great job of cleaning my pores out, places that are usually rough on my face from having dirty pores, are always smooth after cleansing with this.

I do find that my face feels dry after washing, but because I have oily skin I feel that this means it is cleaning my face well. If I apply a good moisturiser afterwards, my skin is silky smooth.

In the morning my skin feels great, I just use a cleansing wipe and my morning moisturiser and my face is clean and good to go.

I need hardly any product to clean my whole face, which makes this last a long time.

Avene Cleanser

I've never used a cleanser before, and I was really surprised at how fresh and clean my face feels after using it. It manages to get all the oil and grime off my face and leaves my skin feeling lovely and silky smooth. It doesn't foam up at all, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. The scent is very plain, quite clean, like soap. It's quite nice and I really like using this cleanser.

Gentle Clenser

I bought this for a trial and I felt like this did say what it would but didn't work as great as it did. I recommend it as it is a good product to use. I would certainly use it again if I got the chance.

Great cleanser, but a bit pricey

I have a combination skin, I wear little to full coverage make up 4-7 times a week, and a great cleanser is what I need to clean my face.

I tried this after reading great reviews about it, it was a little pricey but I thought I'll treat myself to a nice cleanser.

It doesn't have a smell to it, which is great for those who doesn't like products with fragrance on it. The consistency reminds me of Clearasil.

I was very satisfied how it managed to strip off my make-up on my face. After rinsing my face and patting it with a towel, I usually apply my toner using a cotton pad. With this product, I can tell that the cleanser has stripped off all of the make up on my face.

Would love to repurchase but it was too pricey for me. But I'd really recommend it to those who has trouble removing their make up.

To pricey to repurchase

This is exactly what it says – extremely gentle cleanser.

It was gentle, non-stingy, removed my makeup (even mascara) and cleansed my skin without leaving that dry, tight feeling after wards.

The scent is pretty plain and clean smelling (I wonder if it is actually ‘unscented’?). No harsh fragrance, a little like a very mild soap smell.

The consistency is quite runny so you don’t need much to cover your entire face. Its texture and smell reminds me of the Cetaphil cleanser actually.

I’m not wowed by this product but at the same time I do like it. I have to admit the price tag would put me off repurchasing this one I’m afraid. I just don’t think it is an all-time favourite to bother splashing out that much cash.

Total miracle cleanser

I've been using Avène since I was a teenager and was dealing with eczema ridden skin. After a completely random acne bout, I used a lot of rough products that made my skin more sensitive. This cleanser is the only cleanser that my skin tolerates. It's very gentle, has no fragrance (eczema skin must) and calms down even the most angry and irritated skin.

Tips: Use a cotton make up remover pad to apply. You don't have to wash it off, so if you have sensitive, oily skin try Avène's oily skin range.

Avene Extremely Gently Cleanser

This cleanser comes in a 200ml white plastic bottle. It has a flip top lid for ease of use, you really can't pour too much out by accident. It is the most gentle cleanser I have ever used. I don't usually have sensitive skin but after a bit too much sun one day I was still able to use this comfortably, there was no irritation.

Even though it is a super gentle cleanser it still does a great job at removing make up. I wear full make up everyday and this always does a great job.

Tips: I would try this cleanser if you have especially sensitive skin as it is really gentle.

Gentle in every way

I purchased this product last year as a treat for myself for a holiday I was going on down the South Island. I had heard only great stuff about the Avene products so was excited to try this. It was so lovely to use, and super gentle like it says, my skin can be very dry & sensitive at times so this was perfect for me to use. A little went a long way and it made my skin feel super clean and fresh and even cleaned away my make up. Love the fact that the scent is very subtle as I'm very sensitive to fragrance. Comes in a good sized bottle with a flip lid. I will definitely be purchasing this again in the future as a treat product to use when my budget allows.

Underwhelming

After reading reviews suggesting this product was highly recommended for sensitive skin I decided to try it out as I was going through a bout of periorofacial dermatitis. It did not provide me with the miracle response I had hoped for this especially considering that it came at a cost higher than other sensitive friendly facial cleansing products that I have used. I found that it still did aggravate my skin condition although to a lesser degree than non sensitive friendly cleansers might. All this said skin conditions such as this can be so individual in how they respond to particular products so it is still worth trialling to discover if it can be of help for another with such skin disorders.

Tips: For use in persons experiencing dermatitis use every second day rather than daily to start out or if aggravating the condition.
