My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Care Cleanance Expert Emulsion of the brand Avene is primarily intended for skin prone to minor imperfections, such as pimples and blackheads. This product is therefore aimed at teenagers and adults with combination to oily skin and moderate acne. Based on my analysis, Avène's formula stands out for its balanced approach, which aims to regulate sebum production while respecting skin sensitivity, a hallmark of the brand.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three main assets catch my attention:

• Glyceryl Laurate : This sebum-regulating agent works by limiting the proliferation of bacteria responsible for blemishes, while mattifying the skin.
• Papain : A plant-based enzyme, it promotes gentle exfoliation, accelerating cell renewal and helping to unclog pores without damaging the skin.
• Shea butter : It provides nourishing and soothing properties, counteracting the drying potential of purifying active ingredients and maintaining the hydrolipidic balance.

The presence of these active ingredients, combined with Avène thermal spring water, gives the product targeted effectiveness while minimizing the risk of irritation.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this treatment in the morning and/or evening to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye area. It can be combined with gentle cleansers and non-comedogenic moisturizers. I do not recommend combining it with highly irritating topical treatments (retinoids, strong acids) to limit the risk of sensitization.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This product stands out for its light, non-greasy texture and good skin tolerance. It is truly effective on minor blemishes while maintaining hydration. The only downside is the presence of fragrance, which may be a concern for those with very sensitive skin. In conclusion, this is an excellent choice for blemish-prone skin seeking effectiveness and gentleness.
