Avène Cleansing Foam Face Wash

I have suffered from cystic acne for nearly 25 years. It was something that came about during my adult years after having children. When I tell you I have tried everything, I literally mean I have tried everything. Facial cleansers, dietary changes, OTC products, prescription products. Nothing seemed to work. I was honestly reserved to the fact that I would always suffer from cystic acne. I read many reviews and decided to give this a try and I have now been cleared of my cystic acne for the last 3 months. I now have a facial regimen that works well for me.I read another user's review and decided to try it myself and have been so shocked that this worked, I wanted to share. I do not remember who it was, but this changed my life. My cystic acne was located on the chin area, usually from the corner of one lip to the other. I wouldn't break out anywhere else, but that area would get one on top of the other in clusters. It was extremely painful and would last weeks at a time. I never really had days where I didn't have a breakout, and this lasted 25 years. So whoever it was that posted that review with their regimen, I thank you. I don't use everything they did but tweaked it for myself and cannot be happier with the results.I use this product as a facial cleanser, then follow it up with The Avene thermal spring water mist to hydrate the skin. I let it dry, then I use Hydrating Face mist by MannaKadar Skincare (which smells amazing and really hydrates the face). And I will do a face mask once a week of the Aztec Indian Healing Bentonite Clay for about 20 minutes.For the first time in nearly 25 years, I have no cystic acne and I'm going on 3 months of clear skin.Simply amazing.

Best face wash ever. NEVER has broken me out and I have extremely sensitive skin- literally everything breaks me out. At first I was scared because it does have a certain scent to it - almost perfumey? But have not noticed any irritation from this at all. This is a SAFE choice.

Soft, gentle, best. Recommend on 100%.

Has anyone else noticed the decrease in product quality and packaging since Avene rebranded their face wash? The lid is generally off or completely missing, the label isn’t attached properly and sometimes the liquid seems to evaporate when I travel by airplane(which is often so I go through it quicker than I used too). Thankfully it still keeps my skin clear!

I had no expectations of this product. It was highlighted somewhere so I thought I would try it. Inexpensive too so I figured if I didn't like it, it's OK.It smells so good but in a faint way. It's foaming so it is easy to spread around and you don't need much. It deep cleans through my makeup. Nice product.

I have combination skin I love this it has gotten rid of my skin issues I get compliments now. It does leave some spots dry especially since I moved to the desert but moisturizer works well with it. Love this product

Cleans well without over drying. Not oily or sticky if you forget to rinse a spot off! It's just amazing. No smell. I am in my 40s for reference, don't wear makeup. I will keep buying this!

The updated formula is completely different in the smell. It used to have this beautiful soft smell that made me love to wash my face. Now it is has a medical and herb smell to it - terrible! Have used it and Avene products for many years and actually think I am going to change. Want to love washing my face again.
