 Cleanance Cleansing Gel

Most Helpful Positive Review

Effective and gentle cleanser

I received a trial size of Avène Cleanance Cleansing Gel from BzzAgent in exchange for an honest review. I've currently replaced my normal cleanser with this one for the past week, and I've really enjoyed it. I've found that Avène Cleanance Cleansing Gel has a wonderful consistency, it is in fact a... gel as it says, but this has been enjoyable for me due to switching from a more liquid based cleanser. I find that I lose less product when trying to lather and I find it easier to get the correct amount. A little bit of this goes a long way, I use about a pea sized amount for my entire face and neck. The gel creates a full lather that has a wonderful feel to it. It goes on easily and rinses clean without any film or greasy feeling left behind, which makes it a bit quicker to use compared to some other products. The scent is enjoyable and light, not overwhelming. As someone with oily, acne prone skin, this works really well for me as it's a bit drying, but not so much that my face feels parched after use, just enough to cleanly wash the oil from my skin, while still remaining soft. It leaves your skin with a bit of a matte finish to it, which for me creates a perfect base for moisturizer and night time skincare routines, or is a fantastic base to apply makeup. It's also good for sensitive skin as sometimes cleansers are irritating to me or cause redness after use. I've noticed it's been beneficial in helping to clear a few acne spots I currently have just within a week of use, and I notice my face is less oily the morning after using it. All in all it's a great addition to a skincare routine for anyone whose skin might fit these parameters.
