Avène Cleanance Comedomed Exfoliating Cleansing Gel 400 ml

What is Avène Cleanance Comedomed Cleansing and Exfoliating Gel used for?

Are you looking for an effective solution to purify, exfoliate, and unclog your oily, acne-prone skin? This exfoliating cleansing gel is much more than just a hygiene product. A true dermatological treatment, it acts as a therapeutic cleanser that prepares the skin for daily skincare while visibly improving skin texture as early as the first week of use.

Thanks to its combination of keratolytic acids (lactic acid and succinic acid), this gel provides a gentle yet highly effective exfoliating action. It performs a daily micro-peel that refines the skin’s texture without irritating it. The result: pores are unclogged, impurities are removed, and the skin is visibly smoother and clearer. A true feeling of renewed skin with every application.

This gel is also enriched with Comedoclastin™, a patented plant-based active ingredient derived from milk thistle, known to reduce excess sebum and limit the formation of blackheads. If you struggle with recurring breakouts, stubborn blackheads, or constant shine, this cleanser will be a true ally in your skincare routine.

With 0.1% zinc, this cleanser also offers soothing and sebum-regulating benefits, which are particularly beneficial for irritated or inflamed skin. And because acne-prone skin often needs gentle care, its formula includesAvène Thermal Spring Water, known for its soothing and anti-irritating properties.

Formulated without soap and with a physiological pH, this gel is perfectly suited for daily use, even on the most sensitive areas such as the face. Its generous 400-ml pump bottle allows for convenient and hygienic use on the face, back, and chest —areas often affected by breakouts.

This cleansing gel is therefore much more than just a simple hygiene step: it’s anessential first step in a comprehensive anti-blemish routine, for visibly clearer, smoother, and healthier skin.

We also recommend adding Effaclar Micro-Peeling Purifying Gel to your routine—an excellent alternative, depending on your skin’s needs.

Expert Advice and Reviews

In naturopathy, skin prone to blemishes is often a reflection of an internal imbalance. In addition to topical treatments like this exfoliating cleansing gel, it’s essential to adopt an anti-inflammatory lifestyle. Opt for a diet rich in antioxidants (berries, green vegetables, turmeric) and low in simple sugars and dairy products.

Also consider supporting the liver—a key organ in skin detoxification—with herbs like Desmodium or milk thistle, which is included in this product as Comedoclastin™. A course of zinc or skin-specific probiotics may also be considered to strengthen the skin’s natural defenses.

Finally, make sure to stay well-hydrated, manage stress effectively (through yoga, breathing exercises, or lemon balm or passionflower tea), and follow a consistent skincare routine—without using harsh products or overloading your skin. Beautiful skin also requires a holistic approach!
