Overview
Avène sells this Cleanance gel as a soap free cleanser built around a milk thistle extract and zinc gluconate. Thermal spring water and gentle surfactants are listed, and a neutral pH respects the skin's balance.
Deep cleansing without stripping suits oily skin that is also easily irritated, and a large bottle covers face and body. The listing mentions glycolic acid, package type and a scent that do not match each other, so check the box.
Who it's for
Adults with oily or acne-prone skin who want a daily wash for the face and body that avoids soap. Dry skin, or shoppers who need a clearly fragrance free wash, should consider a different cleanser.
Pros and cons
- Soap free formula
- Large bottle for face and body
- Scent listed as fresh
- Package type conflicts
- Glycolic acid entry unexplained
Performance notes
Gentle surfactants lift oil and impurities while the neutral pH leaves the skin's natural balance alone, which helps oily skin without over-stripping. The milk thistle extract is meant to reduce excess oil, and zinc gluconate soothes, though the listing offers no timeline.
