Make-up removal and cleansing: the essential routine for healthy skin

The basis for healthy skin?

Perfect cleansing in the morning and evening. It is an essential part of the skincare routine, even for those who don’t use make-up. Whether in the morning, to refresh the features, remove perspiration and excess sebum from the night; or in the evening, to get rid of make-up and impurities, and prepare it for additional products. Choosing your make-up remover and cleanser is no small matter when you understand their role in your beauty routine.

For this, there is no better solution than formulas containing naturally derived, highly concentrated in Avène thermal spring water and perfectly adapted to the most sensitive skin in eco-designed bottles.

Our range of Essential face cleansers and make-up removers combines effectiveness, tolerance and naturalness for clean and healthy skin in all circumstances.

      FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

      Do you have a question or concern? We’re always here for you

      There's nothing like the enveloping texture of a milk for dry skin in need of nutrition. It removes make-up and impurities from the skin, leaving it soft and moisturised.

      Combination to oily skin will prefer the light and airy texture of a foam to cleanse, purify and remove excess sebum. Clean skin guaranteed!

      Here, a micellar water will do the trick. A unique and effective way to clean and purify the skin without rinsing.

      Start with a gentle exfoliation by massaging the face and Sunburn using light circular movements. Then soak 2 tissues in thermal water and apply of Avène to the right and left sides of the face, such a sheet mask, during 10 minutes. Finally, apply a thick layer of a hydrating and soothing mask that penetrates the skin and protects it.
