Not what I expected
This is not your typical oil cleanser. I was shocked that it is more of a thick gel-like cleanser. However, it is quite gentle. I have eyelid dermatitis and it did not irritate my eyes at all. I haven't been using it for long, but seems to be a winner. I'll re-review if I change my mind!

Love this product for mature sensitive skin. This product was recommended to me as a facial cleansing oil, however I use it as a cleanser for my body as well. I am a minimalist and love the fact this can be used for face and body.

Great for Hypersensitive Skin
I had eczema when I was a child and haven't really experienced it since then other than a patch on my hand or face if i came in contact with an irritant. For whatever reason this summer my skin was just flaring with constant rashes and itchiness. This was the only product I used in the shower that could calm it down.

Best make up remover
This is the best makeup remover. This removes all the makeup foundation away easily. It is perfect for oily skin. I love to use it especially during summer time when my skin is shiny and oily.

Xeracalm cleanser for Ezcema & Rosacea!
Xeracalm is amazing for Rosacea and Ezcema. I have a lot of redness due to some atopic dermatitis and Rosacea. This cleanser has been really helpful for inflammation and calming the skin. It takes off my makeup and makes my skin feel so fresh. My skin is looking better and less red because of this cleanser. Highly recommend for those with sensitive skin!

Wonderful cleanser
This is a gentle cleanser that lathers and removes all of my makeup without drying my skin. I have very sensitive skin and find that this calms my skin. I will continue buying this product.

Interesting Texture
I was using the La Roche Posay Hydrating Cleanser and wanted to try something new. This Avene cleansing oil is very interesting. First off, it's not oily and doesn't leave behind a greasy residue. It leaves the skin very soft and soothed. I have super sensitive rosacea prone, acne prone skin and it didn't trigger any breakouts or redness.

A must for anyone on Accutane
I'm on Accutane and this cleanser has helped my face a lot. Its helped it stay soft, smooth and it doesn't cause any dryness of irritation. Well, it does not cause anymore dryness because anyone that's taken Accutane knows that it in itself causes dryness. Avene has some incredible products and since I've been on the Accutane they have been a lifesaver for me. I fully intend to use this line once I'm off the Accutane as well simply because I've seen such a difference in the softness and texture of my skin since adding these products when before adding these the Accutane was making my skin feel like alligator skin. The other product I'm using in this line is the Xtra Calm balm....definitely a must for anyone on Accutane or anyone with very dry sensitive skin.

Great stuff!
Very gentle and I love the pump. This lives up to all other great Avene products. Just the right amount of lather and gets my makeup off.

Transformed my skin
Every year from fall until spring, I get dry, red, itchy, flaky patches on my face. That would happen even with using so-called mild cleansers. I started using this cleanser a couple of months ago and this is the first year in many that I haven't had one issue. It removes my makeup extremely well, yet somehow doesn't dry out my face. I definitely feel the need to moisturize after I use it, but I haven't had any dryness.

Helps clear up acne and sensitive, dry skin
I received a sample of this product and gave it a try after reading about how oil cleansers can actually help acne. I was very skeptical because it seemed odd to slap oil on my acne-prone face and because I wasn't convinced it would actually remove makeup. I was totally wrong. This stuff is amazing. After using the sample for 2 weeks (huge sample!), I have zero acne. ZERO! How is that possible? It's also very effective at removing makeup and heavy sunscreen. My skin feels hydrated and smooth. I start with this oil cleanser and then use my PrescribedSolutions Don't Be So Sensitive (with the acne booster) and my skin looks like it was airbrushed. I bought the full size product and look forward to using this every day. I'm starting to buy into the new trend in skin care that is focused on rebuilding your skin's pH balance and moisture barriers. There is a lot of research that suggests that many products - from makeup to the lovely serums and acids we use are actually wreaking havoc on our skin and causing the acne, dryness, and sensitivity those products were supposed to address in the first place. Given how well my skin is doing after using this product for 2 weeks, I believe it. My sensitivity, redness, and acne are gone. For the first time in my life I've been skipping foundation in the morning. Crazy! It has a slightly chalky smell and the consistency is very thin, but I use about 1-2 tablespoons to remove my makeup in the evening. I also use it in the morning to cleanse my face in the shower. It feels great after wearing Retin-A Micro all night.

Great for dry/compromised skin!
I am currently undergoing a course of accutane, which causes severe drying and sensitivity of my arm and neck area. To prevent further drying or irritation from other soaps and body washes, I purchased this Avene Cleansing Oil to use as my regular body wash. First off, it works great at removing the grime from the day (including my body sunscreen) but is so gentle and soothing that its been helping with the dryness on my arms! :D It helps tremendously with my sensitivity and I plan to continue using this after I finish my course of the medication.

The best for sensitive skin
I have very sensitive skin, and I swear by this cleanser and the XeraCalm Balm as well. This is the only facial cleanser that works for me. It cleanses but also leaves your skin moisturized and hydrated. I use the XeraCalm Lipid-Replenishing Balm after. I’ve been using these two products for more than two years now and everyone asks me what products do I use. I always say Avène helped me soothe my itchy, dry and sensitive skin. I could not be any happier. I will be using these two products for the rest of my life!
