  Pros

  With its mildly acidic formula (pH 4.8-5), this cleanser is gentle on the skin, making it suitable even for those with super sensitive skin. Its excellent cleansing effectiveness thoroughly removes excess oil, deep-seated impurities in pores, blackheads, and makeup residue. After cleansing, your skin won't feel tight. Instead, it leaves a hydrated feeling, finishing fresh without any dryness. The cleanser produces a rich lather and has the characteristic smooth, refreshing feel of a gel-type product. Having passed non-comedogenic tests, many users find it suitable for acne-prone skin. Containing Avène Thermal Spring Water, it helps soothe the skin and reduce irritation. The large pump bottle is convenient to use and hygienic. Recently upgraded to a biodegradable formula, showing consideration for the environment.

  Cons

  While highly recommended for combination and oily skin types, those with extremely dry skin might find it slightly drying. It contains fragrance, which in rare cases may cause blemishes for those with particularly sensitive skin. The foam is more refreshing than rich and creamy, which might disappoint users who prefer a denser lather.

  Tip

  The Avène Cleanance Cleansing Gel has earned high satisfaction among Hwahae users for its mildly acidic formula, low irritation, excellent cleansing effectiveness, and hydrating finish. It's especially recommended for oily, combination, and super sensitive skin types, and is ideal for those looking to manage excess oil and blackheads while achieving a thorough cleanse.

  Pros

  I used this when I was struggling with milia and folliculitis, and personally, it worked wonders for me, so I repurchased it several times. First off, the pump-type large bottle makes it convenient to use. It cleanses thoroughly without leaving my skin feeling too dry. Maybe it's because Avène uses thermal spring water, but after using it, my skin feels incredibly soft and smooth. It refines skin texture while calming blemishes, making it perfect for combination dehydrated skin and acne-prone skin. Avène has a distinctive scent, which I actually found quite pleasant.

  Cons

  While I used to love this product, I've noticed it contains some potentially harmful ingredients. If you're super sensitive skin when it comes to ingredients, you might want to consider this aspect.

  Pros

  I've been using this cleansing gel for 8 years now. No skin tightness: Unlike other cleansing products that leave my face feeling tight after washing, this is the only one that doesn't. Skin soothing: This is the only product that prevents breakouts and I can feel my blemishes calming down after cleansing.

  Cons

  To be honest, I'm not sure how effective it is at removing makeup. I don't wear makeup often, so on days when I do, I cleanse twice.

  Pros

  I've been using this since early 2024! The formula is transparent and gel-like, creating a soft lather that cleanses well. After washing, my skin feels moisturized without any tightness. It's nearly fragrance-free, non-irritating, and rarely causes blemishes, making it perfect for super sensitive skin. While it may not completely remove heavy makeup, it's excellent for morning cleansing or as a second cleanse. What I particularly love is how it leaves a hydrating film on my skin instead of that squeaky-clean dryness, making the transition to the next skincare step seamless. In summary, the key benefits are: gentle and non-irritating, minimal tightness after cleansing, recommended for sensitive skin, and virtually fragrance-free for worry-free use.

  Cons

  1. Insufficient for heavy makeup: As gentle as Avène Cleansing Gel is, its cleansing power isn't very strong. It doesn't completely remove waterproof mascara, long-lasting foundation, or tints in one go. For heavy makeup days, you'll need to start with a cleansing oil or makeup remover first. 2. Slightly pricey for its cleansing power: While the gentle ingredients and brand reliability justify the price to some extent, it might feel a bit expensive compared to similar cleansing gels. Considering its mild cleansing power, opinions on its value for money might vary. 3. Potential for slight dryness depending on skin condition: While most people don't experience tightness after cleansing, those with dry skin or during seasonal changes might feel a bit of dryness. It varies from person to person, but I noticed a slight tightness in winter if I didn't immediately apply moisturizer. My sister with extremely dry skin even mentioned seeing dead skin cells appear if she didn't apply anything after using it in winter.

  Tip

  My personal usage tips: I mainly use Avène Cleansing Gel for morning cleansing or as a second cleanse. When wearing makeup, I first use a cleansing oil, then follow up with this product for a gentle finish. It's perfect for mornings when you want to lightly cleanse excess oil without irritation. Pro tip: Slightly dampen your hands with lukewarm water before using a small amount on a foam net for an even gentler, foamy lather. Helpful hints: Try using a cleansing device - it's gentle but cleanses pores effectively. On sensitive skin days, reduce massaging time and rinse lightly. In dry weather, apply moisturizer immediately after. While gentle, it can cause slight dryness, so quickly layering toner or a hydrating cream helps maintain good skin condition. Overall review: Avène Cleansing Gel works gently on sensitive skin while providing effective basic cleansing. The biggest plus is no redness or stinging after washing, and it's reassuring to use even on acne-prone days without irritation. While it may not perfectly remove heavy makeup, I highly recommend it as a daily cleanser, especially for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin looking for the perfect gel cleanser. Conclusion: Highly recommended for sensitive skin types - but it's a bit pricey! Best used as a second cleanse.

  Pros

  This cleanser is perfect for times when your skin gets sensitive due to high levels of fine dust and drastic weather changes. Although it's a foam cleanser, its gel-like texture gently cleanses without irritating the skin. I was really satisfied because there was no tightness after washing and my skin felt moisturized. Even with my sensitive and combination dehydrated skin, it worked well without causing any blemishes, and I felt it had a calming effect on my skin. I've been using it every morning and night. It's almost fragrance-free and doesn't produce excessive foam, which made it feel even gentler. I highly recommend this to those with super sensitive skin!

  Cons

  Be careful when pumping at night - a lot comes out! Use caution to avoid wasting this expensive cleanser!

  Tip

  This isn't a foam cleanser that produces a lot of lather, so using a foam net can make it even gentler on your skin!

  After cleansing, there's no deep dryness. It's mildly acidic, so even though I have super sensitive skin, I'm using it without any issues.

  Cons

  I can't understand why they added fragrance. It smells like old-fashioned men's aftershave.

  Pros

  Avène, please never discontinue this product! I've been using it for about 7-8 years, and it's perfect for my super sensitive skin that's dry, prone to atopic dermatitis, and has tiny bumps. I alternate between this and Bioderma's cleansing gel. Among low pH cleansers, nothing beats this for hydration and cleansing effectiveness. It's a lifesaver for blemishes - using this with a body brush clears them up in 2-3 days, and it quickly improves back acne too. It's moisturizing, gentle, and rinses off well... simply the best. Plus, I adore Avène's signature scent!

  Cons

  The only downside is that all sizes except the 100ml come with a pump, which is actually great. Since I use the 400ml size anyway, it's not really an inconvenience.

  Tip

  You can use it on both face and body. If you're worried about back acne in summer, definitely try this with a body brush - it works hard!

  Pros

  This product has been my go-to for years! It's gentle enough not to leave my skin feeling tight after cleansing, yet powerful enough to remove all impurities.

  Cons

  Compared to other products, it doesn't lather as much, so I find myself pumping 2-3 times to get enough foam.

  Pros

  Absolute holy grail. It removes makeup effortlessly. When I'm wearing light makeup or just brightening moisturizer with SPF, using a cleansing foam daily can feel burdensome. That's when I always think of this product and end up buying it. Even for my dry skin, there's no feeling of tightness after cleansing.

  Cons

  There's nothing particularly disappointing about it. While it can be used on the body too and it's great for sensitive skin, it might feel a bit odd for someone like me who enjoys creating a lather.

  I really dislike that tight feeling after cleansing, but this one is amazing! It feels like it's only removing impurities without any tightness. It's perfect! (For reference, I have combination skin and had no issues using it!)

  Cons

  I can't think of any downsides. I'm absolutely loving it!

  Tip

  Try mixing in just a drop of water when lathering for even better results!
