Avène Cleanance Comedomed Peeling Cleansing Gel
Avène Cleanance Comedomed Peeling Cleansing Gel combines daily cleansing with a gentle superficial peeling action for oily, blemish-prone skin. The formula helps unclog pores, remove excess sebum, refine skin texture and reduce the appearance of persistent imperfections.
Designed for teenagers from 13 years old and adults, this cleanser works particularly well for blemish-prone areas such as the face, chest and back. Its combination of exfoliating acids and Comedoclastin™ provides targeted care for skin that develops blackheads, excess shine and recurring imperfections.
The soap-free formula has a physiological pH and contains Avène Thermal Spring Water to help maintain skin comfort.
What is Avène Cleanance Comedomed Peeling Cleansing Gel used for?
This peeling cleansing gel for acne-prone skin provides a new approach to daily cleansing. It combines the cleansing action of a face and body wash with a superficial exfoliating effect.
It helps to:
- Reduce the appearance of blemishes.
- Unclog pores.
- Help remove blackheads.
- Eliminate excess sebum.
- Refine and smooth skin texture.
- Purify oily skin.
- Reduce visible shine.
- Support a more even-looking complexion.
- Cleanse the face, chest and back.
The formula works particularly well for oily skin with persistent imperfections and can form the first step of a targeted Cleanance skincare routine.
A synergistic duo of exfoliating acids
The key feature of this cleanser is its combination of 2% lactic acid and 3% succinic acid.
2% Lactic Acid
Lactic acid belongs to the alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) family. Its exfoliating action helps loosen dead skin cells from the skin’s surface, leaving the complexion smoother and more refined.
3% Succinic Acid
Succinic acid complements lactic acid in the formula and contributes to its keratolytic peeling action. Together, the two acids provide a synergistic superficial peeling effect that helps improve the appearance of texture and imperfections.
Because this cleanser contains exfoliating acids, avoid combining it with several other strong exfoliating products unless a skincare professional recommends doing so.
Comedoclastin™ for blemish-prone skin
The formula contains 0.7% Comedoclastin™, a patented plant-derived active based on milk thistle extract.
Comedoclastin™ targets the processes involved in blemish formation. It helps regulate excess sebum and limit the formation of blackheads and new imperfections.
This ingredient complements the exfoliating acids by addressing both surface build-up and excess sebum, two concerns commonly associated with oily, blemish-prone skin.
Zinc and Avène Thermal Spring Water
The formula also contains 0.1% zinc, which contributes to the soothing properties of the product.
Avène Thermal Spring Water completes the formula with its soothing and calming properties, helping make the exfoliating cleansing experience more comfortable.
The combination allows the product to provide a more comprehensive approach: cleanse, exfoliate, purify and soothe.
Clinical results
Avène evaluated the product on individuals with acne-prone skin and reported encouraging results.
After seven days of use, clinical scoring showed an 18% reduction in the number of blemishes under the study conditions.
Participants also reported:
- 95% felt that the product smoothed their skin texture.
- 89% felt that it reduced excess sebum.
- 84% felt that their skin looked intensely purified.
The results come from manufacturer studies involving 43 participants, with use once or twice daily. Individual results can vary depending on skin type and the severity of imperfections.
How to use Avène Cleanance Comedomed Peeling Cleansing Gel
Use the cleanser once or twice a day on the face, chest and/or back.
- Wet the skin with water.
- Apply the gel to the affected area.
- Massage gently to create a lather.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Pat the skin dry without rubbing.
Start with once-daily use if your skin is sensitive or new to exfoliating acids. If your skin tolerates the product comfortably, you can follow the recommended frequency of up to twice daily.
Avoid vigorous rubbing, as the formula already provides an exfoliating action.
A simple routine for persistent imperfections
Because this cleanser already contains exfoliating acids, a simple routine can help maintain skin comfort.
Morning
- Cleanance Comedomed Peeling Cleansing Gel
- lightweight moisturiser
- SPF50+
Cleanse gently, apply a non-comedogenic moisturiser if needed and finish with broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Eve9ning
- Cleanance Comedomed Peeling Cleansing Gel
- targeted blemish treatment
- moisturiser
If you already use an exfoliating serum, retinoid or other intensive blemish treatment, introduce the products carefully. Combining several exfoliating or potentially irritating ingredients can increase dryness and discomfort.
Face, ch9est and back care
One advantage of Cleanance Comedomed Peeling Cleansing Gel is its versatility. You can use it on areas beyond the face, including the chest and back, where excess sebum and blemishes can also occur.
For body acne or persistent imperfections, apply the gel gently to damp skin and rinse thoroughly. Avoid scrubbing the area with brushes or exfoliating gloves, as this can create unnecessary friction.
Who is it suitable for?
This cleanser is particularly suitable for:
- Teenagers from 13 years old.
- Adults.
- Oily skin.
- Acne-prone skin.
- Skin with persistent blemishes.
- Skin with visible blackheads.
- Skin with excess sebum.
- Skin with uneven or rough-looking texture.
- Blemish-prone skin on the face, chest or back.
If your skin feels very dry, irritated or sensitive, reduce the frequency of use or seek professional advice before continuing.
