Hey Guys!
I’ll be reviewing the Avene Cleanance Gel today. As I talked about in my Current Skincare Favourites post, this product is ideally suited for people with combination-oily skin. It comes from Avene, a French brand known for addressing various dermatological issues. It has quickly become an integral part of my skincare regimen and read on to why it could become yours too.
Price: Rs 1199/- for 200mL
Review
The product comes in a transparent plastic packaging. The cap has a unique twisting mechanism that dispenses a controlled amount of the product and also seals tight so as to prevent any leakage. Due to this, the packaging is light-weight, sturdy and hence travel-friendly.

The cleanser itself is a medium consistency greenish-blue gel. Being a ‘soapless cleanser’ it does not lather much. Because of that, it is easily possible to go overboard with its usage but after a few uses, you realise that you actually need a little quantity (the size of a pea) for your entire face. It rinses clean and gets rid of all dust, dirt and light makeup on the face. Although if you do have some heavy waterproof makeup, you might want to use a makeup remover prior to this.


In contrast to many other cleansers made for oily/combination skin, this product does not dry out the skin and rip it off its moisture level. The skin does not feel tight or stretched after cleansing but rather quite comfortable. One other thing that makes this product noteworthy is that it actually does work in helping shrink your existing acne. In my experience, it might not always work on the really big ones but does work nicely on the little ones.
The product claims to be hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic and can be used by those having a sensitive, acne-prone skin. Along side this, it also has Avene Thermal Spring Water, a much sought-after and quite an efficient product for sensitive skin, as its first ingredient making it all the more suitable for skin that is prone to redness and irritation. It does not have any tingling or cooling sensation though. It does not claim to do that either but whenever I see a blue gel cleanser meant for oily skin, I somehow automatically assume that it will have that property. So this is just to clear for those who think like me!


Overall Thoughts
Avene Cleanance Gel is a gel cleanser meant for combination/oily skin prone to acne & irritation. It cleans the skin quite well and manages to do so without ripping it off moisture. Largely made with Avene Thermal Spring Water, it is an ideal cleanser for sensitive combination/oily skin. The price can feel steep but given the quantity required for each use, it will last you a few months. Highly recommended!
Rating: 5/5
great review dear! I have used it in the past, my dermat prescribed it. I found it just ok! did not do any miraculous thing so never repurchased 😛
Waaw 5/5. I need to order this Avene Cleanance Gel for my sensitive acne prone skin.. Thank you dear for the review.
My pleasure love 🙂
I have read a lot of amazing reviews on this face wash. And it sounds nice for oily skin.
Great product, good review. I have dry skin and do not find any good recommendations in market for it. Al face wash which comes these days are for oily/acne prone skin. 🙁
sounds like an awesome product……..great review 🙂
I usually don’t prefer face washes which don’t lather but this is so good 🙂
Your rating speaks a lot in favor of the product! Pricey but seems like a must try for combination acne prone skin 🙂 Great review like always :* <3
This looks like good product for me to try in summers, have used couple of avene products and like them
This is going to be my next purchase once I am done with my current cleansers. I have heard so many good things about it. Great that this is soap free and I do not spot SLS/SLES also in the ingredients. Great Review.
awesome review..I dont like products that dries out my face, so I believe this gel will be good for me..:)
I have tried this for like just 2 times and felt a burning sensation ;( will give it a last try to come to the conclusion whether it is suitable for my skin…
I have read good reviews of this. Now a thumbs up by you too. Great review
Nice review.. I am so tempted to try this one now..
my all time favorite 🙂 Good review
its my favorite skin care brand
I heard a lot about this product. I am going to purchase it once i end up using my current one 🙂
So glad I read your review, one of my friends has sensitive acne prone skin and this sounds great for her.
I have to try Avene now! I have heard so much about this particular wash but I am into foaming face washes ATM ! 😀
I got a sample of this in one of my Fabbag and i loved it so much for my sensitive skin…planning to purchase full size now…
Totally agree initially it seems like just another mild cleanser but give it sometime and it will become your favourite it lasted me one whole year as I use two different cleansers one with aha/bha and one mild (being this one).
I know right! Its still my favourite <3 That's why I included it in my Jan favourites Post yesterday 🙂
