Avène Cleanance Cleansing Gel Soap Free Cleanser for Acne Prone, Oily, Face & Body, Alcohol-Free

Worth trying for bacne — it solved my issue.I used to struggle with cysts, nodules, whiteheads, and blackheads, mostly on my back and occasionally on my shoulders. Sometimes it was painful and left scars that took a long time to heal. I tried everything — salicylic acid, AHA, benzoyl peroxide, adapalene — and followed all kinds of routines: applying products by hand, using a back brush, washing once or twice a day, even full skincare routines. Nothing ever worked. I also paid close attention to the cleanliness of my bedsheets, bath towels, and T-shirts, but it didn’t help.Then, about two months ago, an employee working in the cosmetic aisle of a well-known pharmacy suggested this product. While they weren’t a pharmacist, their advice turned out to be excellent. I’m now on my second bottle, purchased on Amazon, because I’m truly satisfied. My skin has cleared up completely. It feels deeply clean after each use, yet not dry — just smooth and soft. My pores are unclogged. No more pimples — not even a small one, whether deep or on the skin’s surface.It doesn’t foam much, but I think that’s part of the gentle formula. I apply it to wet skin, rub gently with my fingers until I get a rich lather — it takes some time — then rinse well with water. Sometimes I pat dry; other times I let it air dry.I’ve also been using it on my face, and it helps reduce pore size, control breakouts, and keep my skin moisturized (I have combination skin). The scent is neutral — just a clean, soapy, and fresh smell. It feels like a minimal, no-frills formulation designed to minimize irritation and preserve the skin barrier.Compared to many popular brands I’ve tried, this one is absolutely worth the price — especially if you’re struggling with bacne and other OTC options have failed. I was honestly amazed that such visible results came in just a week — from gentle ingredients you rarely see in dermatologist-prescribed treatments.

After trying a few other cleansers that didn’t quite do the job (including Vanicream), I always end up coming back to Avène Cleanance. It’s gentle but truly effective. I can feel and see the difference; my skin looks clearer, and I don’t get the buildup or blackheads I experienced with other products.It’s a bit pricier, but for me, it’s absolutely worth it. My pores stay cleaner, especially around my nose and forehead, and my skin feels fresh without being stripped.

This is a good neutral cleanser that works very well for combination skin. It does not strip the oils from the dryer areas (eyes, chin, etc) but manages to work well in the areas that get clogged easily (nose, T-zone, etc). There is a very gentle scent which doesn't bug me at all it's very neutral. This is a gel based cleanser that foams quickly and easily. It doesn't aggravate my acne or cause redness and balances and cleans my skin well. Overall I really like this cleanser!

Soap works very well, great foaming great value for money. Pleasant smell! Left my skin feeling clean.

I love this cleanser! This is one of the only cleansers that keeps my combo, hormonal cystic acne prone skin clear while managing oil production. I keep coming back to it time and again. With regular use blackheads even are diminished. It's got a pleasant scent and lathers even though it's soap free. You only need about a nickel size of product each time you use. A sample bottle lasted what seems like an eternity so the full size will last a loooong time.It can make me feel a little dry at times, but it's easily combated with a good moisturizer. I use either Embryolisse Lait Creme or Caudalie Moisturizing Sorbet depending on how dry my skin feels. I find that the minimal dryness after using is better than being an oil slick mess with breakouts and it doesn't make me flaky.I would NOT recommend this cleanser if you have dry skin normally. As it is I mostly use this cleanser when the seasons change and the weather becomes warmer and my oil production is kicked into high gear.This cleanser also removes makeup insanely well. My face is always bright, smooth, and clean after using and feels refreshed.This cleanser won't be for everyone but if you have oily acne prone skin I'd give it a try. Maybe try to find a sample bottle first, and definitely follow up with a good moisturizer that you know does not break you out.I love Avene's products and I will continue to have this cleanser on hand at all times, even in the colder months when I don't use often, it'll clear up a breakout in a few washes.This is a lovely effective cleanser and I highly recommend it!

Very nice ingredients and cleanses without being too harsh. Excellent for oily or acne-prone skin. My only complaint is how heavily fragranced it is, it’s a little overpowering, very fake floral scented and you can taste it when you rinse it off. If you’re sensitive to fragrance this is not for you

I really wanted to find a cleanser that doesn’t contain sulfates and parabens. Avene Cleanance is gentle but extremely effective at cleaning facial skin without over drying, and doesn’t sting my eyes… also smells great!

Super good! I love this soap. It's the only one that helps me with my acne. I highly recommend it. I bought it at a great price, which made me happier, so I obviously took advantage of it! I love how it leaves my skin. I've been using it for six months now, and I love this brand. It's the only one that hasn't caused more acne. It lasted me 6 months, so I can save money. Super good price for the product. Smells well, no essence
