First of all, the scent is unique, like a spa or bathhouse. It's something special, but I'm a big fan. Every time I use it, the scent puts me in a good mood. It's slightly acidic, so there's no squeaky-clean feeling right after cleansing, which some may not like. But with continued use, you get used to it. However, those who really dislike that sensation should probably avoid it. No squeaky-clean effect. The cleansing power and overall usage experience are decent. I was able to purchase the small size at Cou-X for around 10,000 won, so I think the good scent, reasonable usage experience, and cost-effectiveness make it a keeper for me. And as I was looking at the product description, I found that it's also recommended for body use. So in the mornings when I'm in a hurry, I can just use it for both my face and body, saving me time!
ConsThis product doesn't seem to have any particularly amazing advantages. It claims to control sebum, but I'm not sure if it actually does that. Acne still comes up occasionally, and the oiliness is about the same... If you purchase this expecting those kinds of results, you'll likely be 100% disappointed.
TipSince it is a cleansing gel, it comes out in a continuous stream when squeezed, and because it is slightly acidic, it does not produce a lot of lather, which may give the impression of being used excessively. However, more lather does not necessarily mean better cleansing, so it's best to use it in moderation and adjust the amount accordingly.

When I used to use this and then follow up with a cleansing foam, I had to wash my face two or three times, which was a hassle. Also, the formula is not completely watery, but rather slightly thick and heavy, so it's easy to control the amount and I decant it into a Daiso container to carry it around. However, I don't recommend this for dry skin types - after using it, there's absolutely no moisture left on my face.
ConsMy skin is prone to breakouts due to poor skin health, so I bought a small amount to try it out. But the scent is a strange mix of men's skincare and dish soap - a pungent, piercing smell. At first it was fine, but when my skin condition was poor, my face would sting and itch, turning red. This is my first time using a product like this, and I likely won't use it again.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI've been using it consistently since 2024! The formula is transparent and gel-type, so the lather is soft and smooth, and even after cleansing, there is no tightness and the skin feels moisturized. It's almost fragrance-free, so it's not irritating, and it hardly causes any breakouts, so it feels just right for sensitive skin. It doesn't completely remove makeup, but it's great for morning cleansing or secondary cleansing. What I particularly liked was that after cleansing, my face didn't dry out and feel tight, but rather felt like there was a moisturizing layer left, making the next skincare step comfortable to go through. In summary, the advantages are: Gentle and non-irritating Minimal tightness after cleansing Recommended for sensitive skin Almost fragrance-free, so it's not burdensome
ConsThe Avène Cleansing Gel is gentle and not highly irritating, but its cleansing power is not very strong. Especially when using waterproof mascara, long-lasting foundation, or tints, it may not completely remove the makeup with just one use. For heavy makeup, you should first do a primary cleanse with a cleansing oil or remover. The price range is slightly higher compared to the cleansing power. Due to the mild ingredients and brand credibility, the price is on the higher side, and it may feel a bit more expensive than similar cleansing gels with comparable functions. Considering the relatively weak cleansing power, the cost-effectiveness may be debatable. Depending on skin condition, there may be a slight dryness after use. Most people don't feel any tightness, but for dry skin or sensitive skin during seasonal changes, there can be a bit of dryness after cleansing. This can vary per individual, but in the winter, I need to apply a moisturizer right after cleansing to avoid a slight tightness. My extremely dry-skinned sister says that in the winter, if she doesn't apply anything after cleansing, she can get some flaky skin-like buildup on her face.
TipI mainly use the Avène cleansing gel for morning cleansing or secondary cleansing. When I have makeup on, I first do a primary cleanse with a cleansing oil, then use this product to gently finish. In the morning, it's perfect when I want to lightly remove residual sebum without irritating my skin. Before applying the gel, I lightly wet my hands with lukewarm water and use just a small amount on a cleansing net, which creates a nice, gentle lather for non-irritating use. Helpful tips: Try using a cleansing vibration device! It cleans pores well with less irritation. On sensitive skin days, reduce the rolling time and just rinse lightly. On dry weather days, it's good to quickly layer a moisturizer. The gel can cause slight dryness, so using a hydrating cream or toner helps maintain skin condition. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the Avène cleansing gel. It gently cleanses while being mild on sensitive skin. The best part is there's no redness or stinging after use. I can even use it on breakout-prone days without irritation. It doesn't completely remove heavy makeup, but it's an excellent daily cleanser, especially for sensitive or acne-prone skin. Conclusion: Highly recommended for sensitive skin! Though it's a bit pricey, I suggest using it as a secondary cleanser.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThese days, when there is a lot of fine dust and the weather changes dramatically, my skin becomes sensitive. This is the perfect cleansing product to use in such situations. Although it is a foam cleanser, the gel-type formula gently cleanses the skin without irritation. After washing, there is no tightness, and my skin feels moisturized, which I am very satisfied with. Even though I have sensitive and combination skin, it did not cause any trouble, and I felt my skin calming down. I use it every morning and evening. There is almost no fragrance, and the foam is not excessive, so it feels even gentler. I highly recommend this to those with sensitive skin!
ConsIn the early morning, pumping a lot comes out.. Be careful when pumping and don't waste the expensive foam cleanser!
TipThe foaming cleansing foam does not produce a lot of lather, so using a mesh sponge would make it gentler!

ConsThe fragrance is very unpleasant. There is no eye irritation, but the cleansing power is weak. It is gentle, but I don't reach for it often, so I use it as a body cleanser.
TipI love hot spring water, so I've stocked up on summer-use Hwahae and Hwahae Trial Reviewers care products.

I have very sensitive, dry, atopic, and acne-prone skin, and I've been using this product for around 7-8 years. I alternate between using Avène and Bioderma cleansing gels, and among the mildly acidic foams, this is the most moisturizing and cleansing one. When I get clogged pores, using this along with a body brush makes them subside in 2-3 days, and it also quickly improves back acne. It's moisturizing yet gentle, and rinses off well... it's the best. And the signature Avène scent is just wonderful.
ConsAll except the 100ml size container with a lid are good with a pump. Anyway, since I use the 400ml size, it's not too much of a hassle.
TipYou can use it on both your face and body. Be sure to try this along with a body brush, especially when dealing with back acne concerns in the summer.
