A Gentler Kind of Clean

Avene Gentle Milk Cleanser is a lightly-scented, milky cream which is applied to the face and neck using fingertips, a cotton pad, or similar soft material. Skin does not need to be damped prior to application. It should be gently lathered over the skin using small circular motions. Excess cleanser can be dabbed off using a washcloth or cotton pad. Rinsing is not required, but can be done if desired. Additional skin-care products or makeup may be applied after using Avene Gentle Milk Cleanser.

This product is specially formulated to pamper sensitive or dry skin. While it does contain a light fragrance, it has proven to be non-irritating even on very sensitive skin. It contains no soaps or chemicals which dry the skin and leave it feeling tight and uncomfortable; in fact, vitamin E and other ingredients work to moisturize the skin, as well providing antioxidant protection from damaging free radicals.

In short, the many advantages of Avene Gentle Milk Cleanser include:

• Does not strip away the skin's natural defenses
• Does not disrupt the skins delicate pH balance
• Moisturizes the skin while cleaning
• Soothes inflamed or irritated skin
• Cleans deeply without clogging pores
• No oily or greasy residue
• Won't stain clothing
• Doesn't leave skin feeling dry or tight

Anyone can enjoy the benefits of Avene Gentle Milk Cleanser.
