Overview

Soap-free, alcohol-free foaming gel cleanser from Eau Thermale Avene formulated for acne-prone, oily and sensitive skin, sized as a 13.5 fl oz tube for use on face and body.

Built around Avene Thermal Spring Water and a stabilized milk thistle extract called Comedoclastin, the formula is designed to clear away oil without stripping skin the way harsher acne washes can. Zinc gluconate is included for its soothing role, and the gel keeps a neutral pH rather than the more alkaline pH found in bar soap cleansers.

Who it's for

Suited to people with oily or acne-prone skin who still find their skin reactive or easily irritated by other acne cleansers, since this one is formulated around sensitivity too. It covers face and body use, so it fits people breaking out in both areas.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Alcohol-free and soap-free formula for reactive skin
  • Doubles as a face and body wash
  • Non-comedogenic, so it will not clog pores
Cons
  • 13.5 fl oz tube is the only size listed

Performance notes

The gel foams to lift away excess oil while leaving the skin's natural pH balance intact, which is the mechanism behind claims that it cleanses without leaving skin tight afterward. The milk thistle derived Comedoclastin ingredient is the formula's main active for reducing the visible appearance of blemishes over repeated use, rather than treating an active breakout on contact.
