Avène Cleanance Cleansing Gel Review

Hello!
This is the review of the Eau Thermale Avène Cleanance Cleansing Gel.
It is a soapless face wash which is translucent and blue. It has a basic packaging with a sealed "left-right turn" cap, which is hygienic and easy to open. It does not have a strong scent, but a more fresh one.
" Concentrated Cucurbita extract in a gentle cleansing base. This is a non-irritating purifying gel with Glyceryl laurate which reduces excess oil/sebum. Use morning and evening, provides skin with a sensation of freshness and well-being. Apply to moist face, lather up, rinse thoroughly and pat dry. "
My point of view :
This is my best ever face wash.
I've been using this since last year and it has amazing results on my skin. I don't feel any tightness, irritations or redness when using it. It is gentle to my face and does not cause further breakouts.
It is cheap and is really better than the higher price ones. The 200ml bottle lasts for about 3 months and it is a very concentrated one, thick enough and foams well. So a small amount (a pea-sized blob) is needed to wash the entire face and neck. It's best to invest in; saves money!
I use it twice daily, and sometimes more to refresh my skin. It removes dirt, make-up and excess oil, accelerates my breakouts dry out time and prevents further ones.
I recommend buying this if you have combination/oily skin like me. But all skin types can use it too as it is not that harsh to the skin.

Avène TriAcnéal Review

Hello!
So, this is my first review and I will give you my best.
The Eau Thermale Avène Triacnéal is an acne treatment cream or skin care for oily, blemish-prone skin. It is yellow and has a fresh scent, occasionally strong. The packaging is hygienic as you don't need to put your fingers in it to get some. Just need to squeeze it out.
It is mainly composed of Effectiose®, Glycolic Acid, Retinaldehyde and the well-known Avène Thermal Spring Water.
It is supposed to :
-Limit new breakouts, prevent spots, blemishes and finally remove acne and residual marks.
-Have a superficial peeling effect.
-Have a smoothing effect on skin surface.
-Have a sort of anti-ageing property due to the Retinaldehyde. (Retinol)
-Calm down irritations and diminish redness.
My point of view :
I simply love it! I have occasional breakouts (luckily not severe acne), and I've been using it for ages! It is the only acne treatment that really worked for me. Supposed to be applied every night, I don't use it for more that 3 times in a row, but always at night as it has a very irritating effect when applied during the day, due to its composition.
That is, I use it for 3 nights, then take a break for 1 night or 2 (where I apply an hydrating nightcream-will make a review, or nothing at all), then continue the process.
It tickles lightly every time I use it and that's normal. When I wake up, I get that amazing soft and oil-free skin. I even have a better looking and glowing skin. In the beginning, some spots may appear or you may feel like having tight and dry skin/rash because of the cream but this proves that it's really working. You may see satisfying results within 1 month, depending on the severity of your acne.
It also clear out some acne marks,but not completely.
Just give it time and you won't regret. It's not so cheap, but it is really value for money. Being only 30ml, mine lasts for atleast 2 to 3 months! I use it after washing my face with the Avène Cleanance Gel (will also make a review!) and use a good moisturiser with SPF during the day.
Avoid sun exposure during treatment as it may aggravate your skin. Also, exfoliate weekly.
Of course, we all don't have the same skin type, mine is combination/oily skin so I don't promise that you will have the same results.
Note that you may have yellow nails when applying it, so be cautious, wash your hands after use. Pillowcase should be changed atleast 2 times per week for a good hygiene and also, this product stains.
I think I told you the necessary.
If you have any questions, just comment it down or simply ask me it via Facebook - Nadiah Soosor, or follow me.
