Advantages: Really makes you feel fresh and clean, ready for the day! Disadvantages: Not as fast as some other products to remove spots.
Hello everybody!
This review is about "Avène Cleanace Soapless Gel Cleanser". I bought this product as I wanted something to help prevent spots/impurities and possibly reduce present ones. My skin is not too oily or with any major acne problems, but (as I beleive for everyone through their teenage period) there are areas in the face where impurities accumulate and which you really would like to get rid of! This was my first product I ever bought for this purpose, and today I am still using it, so I did find quite well. Personally, however, I would reccomend it to people with similar skin to mine. For more major problems, it might be better combining it with another product- but it is only my opinion, it might just works on its own as well! Of course, every skin is different and will react differently.

Advantages: Feels lovely and creamy Disadvantages: Adds an extra step in your routine
I got a sample size of this free when buying other clinique products and have been using it for about 1 week. I don't think that there is any difference to the quality of my skin, but it does feel lovely to use.
You use this before doing steps 1 (soap), 2 (clarifying lotion) and 3 (moisturiser) thus turning the process into 4 steps. You only need to use a very small amount of the product as it foams up when you rub it onto your face and feels really creamy, so a small sample tube will last me for at least one month if not longer. After using the soap as well your face feels really super clean and fresh.
I don't think that I would buy a full size tube of this product as I don't really wear a lot of make up where I think you would get the real benefit of a deep cleaning product. But it is nice to use and I would gladly use more ...
Advantages: delicate smell Disadvantages: eye irritation, not great compatibility wit all skin types as it suggests
In a nutshell I would consider this as a rather mediocre product. This foamingcleanser does indeed fulfill its promise to effectively provide a soap and water experience. However frequent use can lead to the mild drying out of the skin, which in the absence of appropriate moisturisation can lead to the production of excessive sebum. My skin type is normal with occasional breakouts attributable to lack of sleep and air pollutants; and overall I did not consider this product to be compatible with my skin type and life style. Furthermore, this cleanser could not easily be rinsed off the eye area thus causing unavoidable irritation. Finally, I considered this product to be reasonably priced when compared to the readily available and much advertised high street brands. ...
