Avène Gentle Milk Cleanser

Let me start off with, I am a straight up product junkie , forever in search of the perfect product for my relatively new dry, dehydrated skin. I’m also a licensed esthetician and cosmetologist (licensed in both separately, yes) so I am naturally into skincare stuff in general, but , you see I used to have extremely oily, relentlessly acne-prone skin (also highly sensitive to boot! 👍🏻) well into my late 20’s , then bam, switcharoo! No more acne. Replaced by severally dry , dehydrated skin. Just like my dad. The insane sensitivity comes from my mom (who has flawless , beautiful NORMAL skin type otherwise, which is like 1% of the population btw) . Thanks, you guys for the lovely genetics 😸👍🏻 (Jk ). Anyways, I always remember buying him moisturizers he never used but constantly complained about the discomfort and flakey, dry forehead. Yeah, I inherited that. You wouldn’t really know it, though, because I do take really good care of my skin. Like with product such as this! This is the BEST CLEANSER I have ever used. My skin looks soft, hydrated, supple, dewy even! I’m so impressed!!!! I hesitated buying it, because it’s pricey for a cleanser I didn’t even need, but dang. Well worth it!!! I’m off to try more of their god-given stuff!

I just wanna start off by saying this have become my ride or die facial cleanser. I use this is the shower to get rid of any excess dirt and makeup, I use this every day as a moisturizer whether I'm going bare face or wearing it under makeup (works as a good makeup primer as well). I have extremely dry skin in my T zone and this gets rid of it instantly! Not only does it make my skin feel so clean, so soft, and make it look overall radiant, I has CURED my Milia!!! For those who don't know what that is, milia also goes by "milk spots" and they're tiny white marks on the skin that look like pimples but aren't. They can't be popped and are extremely hard to get rid of. I used to have them under my eyes and along my cheek bones. Ever since I've been using this, they disappeared completely. Idk what's in this stuff to have treated my Milia but I'm so thankful I found this!! I highly highly recommend this product to anyone. (I'm obviously not a doctor and can't say that this will work on anyone with Milia but it just seems that this worked very well for me)

This milk face cleanser works fantastic to very dry and sensitive skin. I have bought this product multiple times . It’s easy to use, you just apply on the face and wipe off with a wet tissue. You don’t need to wash your face. It removes all makeup and provides a natural glow on the skin.

Ordered for granddaughter with skin breakouts.Works perfect and very gentle.

I was hesitant to use this after opening — it has a perfume scent. Although relatively mild, I try to stick with unscented products or those that just smell like the ingredients (i.e. GR’s watermelon AHA mask smells like watermelon because that is a primary ingredient). My skin is sensitive, combo, and prone to breakouts. It does not like things that have added fragrance.I decided to try it anyway, swayed by all the rave reviews. It does remove dirt, makeup, buildup, etc. insanely well, without being oily like a cleansing balm. I wipe it off with a damp microfiber washcloth (much gentler material than a typical towels) or rinse with lukewarm water before following through with the rest of my regimen.It hasn’t been quite long enough to know how it works for me in general. However I know so far that it makes my skin nice and soft, it’s moisturizing, and it’s *okay* for sensitive skin. The scent doesn’t linger, it’s gone pretty much as soon as you wash. It’s a good ultra-gentle, non-exfoliating/foaming option for damaged skin (good for retinol burn, for example).I’ll update this review when I get a better sense of it.

I love Avène’s products. This face wash is super gentle and hydrating and I love to use it in the morning to wash my face or at the end of the day when my face feels super dry (otherwise I use the Avène acne cleanser) - it does not leave my skin feel stripped or dehydrated.

My daughter has severe eczema and this is the only facial cleanser that works for her sensitive skin.

I’m underwhelmed by this face wash. I have unreasonably dry skin and was looking for a cold cream type of cleanser that can be wiped off and left on. I’m not using the product for makeup removal, just general face cleaning. I can’t really imagine leaving this on without rinsing because it’s a little bit sticky. Even though it says No Rinse, on the directions it says to rinse with their toner, so I don’t know what they’re really doing with that. It has a very strong fragrance, which I actually really like, but I know a lot of people do not like fragrance in their facial products. I have extremely sensitive skin, but have not had any reactions to this at all, even when I use it several days in a row.I’m very torn about my feelings on this cream cleanser. It’s way too expensive, and it’s not actually no rinse. But it does make my face feel clean and soft (after I RINSE), it’s gentle, and the smell is quite pleasant. I may buy it again if it ever goes on sale.
