Gentle Milk Cleanser

| Cleansers & Face Wash

Avène Gentle Milk Cleanser is a no-rinse creamy facial cleanser and makeup remover for dry to very dry, sensitive skin, designed to remove makeup, dirt, oil and pollutants while supporting skin hydration. Its non-greasy, melting milk texture cleanses without the need for water and helps leave dryness-prone skin feeling soft, smooth and supple.

Made with 98% ingredients of natural origin, the formula combines Avène Thermal Spring Water with glycerin to soothe and hydrate sensitive skin. Avène reports a 70% increase in hydration 30 minutes after application, with hydration maintained for up to six hours in a kinetic study of 23 subjects. This makes it a practical gentle-cleansing option curated by The DistriQt for skin that feels dry or uncomfortable after conventional cleansing.

Avène Gentle Milk Cleanser is best suited to dryness, dehydration, tightness and cleansing-related discomfort, especially in dry to very dry sensitive skin. Its creamy no-rinse format can be particularly useful when air conditioning, sun exposure or Lebanon’s changing seasonal conditions leave skin feeling depleted. The DistriQt recommends it when cleansing needs to remove daily buildup without leaving skin feeling stripped.

Up to +70% hydration 30 minutes after application.

Skin remains hydrated for up to 6 hours.

• Avène Thermal Spring Water — clinically studied by Avène for its soothing, softening and calming properties.
• Glycerin — a humectant that improves skin hydration by helping attract and retain water within the skin.
• Emollient cleansing base — includes ingredients such as dicaprylyl carbonate and hydrogenated vegetable oil, contributing to the formula's creamy, non-greasy cleansing texture.

Is Avène Gentle Milk Cleanser good for sensitive skin?
Yes. Avène specifically identifies the Milk Cleanser for dry to very dry, sensitive skin. Avène Thermal Spring Water provides the formula’s soothing component, although users with fragrance sensitivities should note that the product contains fragrance.

Does Avène Gentle Milk Cleanser work for very dry skin?
Yes. It is specifically formulated for dry to very dry skin and combines cleansing with hydration and skin-softening benefits. Avène reports that hydration increased by 70% 30 minutes after application in a 23-subject study.

What’s the difference between Avène Gentle Milk Cleanser and Cleansing Foam?
The Milk Cleanser is a creamy, no-rinse formula intended for dry to very dry sensitive skin, while Avène Cleansing Foam has a lightweight foaming texture intended for normal to combination skin. The Milk Cleanser is therefore the more appropriate option when dryness and tightness are the primary concerns.

Should I use Avène Gentle Milk Cleanser morning or night?
Avène recommends using it both morning and evening. It can be applied directly to dry skin and the eye area, then removed with a cotton pad without rinsing.
