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.
ConsTo 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.

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.
Cons1. 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.
TipMy 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.

It's a well-rounded product with no major drawbacks.
ConsWhile I'm quite satisfied when I'm not wearing makeup, it feels like it leaves some residue behind when I have makeup on.

It's gentle and non-irritating. In the morning, I use this alone, and in the evening, I use it as my second cleanse.
ConsIt feels insufficient when used alone to remove makeup. When wearing makeup, use this as your second cleanse.

It cleanses without irritation, which is great. As someone with dry skin, I usually dislike that squeaky-clean feeling after washing, but this doesn't leave my skin feeling tight at all.
ConsSince it's a low pH product, the cleansing effectiveness is noticeably lower, so I'm only using it as a second cleanser in my routine.

I expected it to be great for removing oil and impurities without irritation.
ConsIt doesn't feel like I've washed my face at all. The cleansing effectiveness seems really poor. It's not even moisturizing or non-drying. Usually, when I use a cleanser, at least some sebum is removed, but with Avène Cleansing Gel, it feels like there's even more oil. My skin feels bumpy to the touch, and because it doesn't remove sebum well, I think I'm getting blemishes when I apply skincare after cleansing.

I used it because it was supposed to be good for oily skin, but it caused numerous small bumps to appear. I had a hard time recovering from that. Personally, I think my oily skin type doesn't react well to slightly acidic products.
ConsIt might work well for those with dry or normal skin types. However, it doesn't give the feeling of thoroughly cleansing impurities.

You can use it on both face and body. When it comes to the feel, you can expect a good level of hydration too.
ConsI got the wrong recommendation. I asked for a product with strong cleansing effectiveness and deep cleansing power, but this doesn't deliver on that front. The slippery texture was also a no-go for me.
TipThis product is for combination dehydrated skin and soothing blemishes. It's not bad if you have these issues. However, it's definitely not for sebum control or deep cleansing.
