The gentle one: Avene Cleanance Soapless Gel Cleanser

What it is for: Cleansing skin and removing makeup

Avene Cleanance Soapless Gel Cleanser contains a high amount of Avene thermal spring water which soothes skin and is an anti-irritant. “Soapless” means that it is a mild cleanser that does not change skin’s natural pH levels. And yes, it also removes makeup. Gently!

Online review: “It is gentle on your skin. It doesn’t dry it up and leaves a nice, smooth, clean feeling. I like that it doesn’t have a strong scent and no color. I think it is perfect for any type of skin as it does not irritate and doesn’t make skin oily because it is oil free.”
