Avène Milky Cleanser is a cleansing emulsion formulated for sensitive, dry or reactive skin. Its base is based on lipid esters (C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride) that effectively dissolve impurities and light make-up through their affinity with fats, without resorting to aggressive surfactants - Poloxamer 188, a gentle non-ionic surfactant, ensures emulsification without altering the hydrolipidic film. The formula incorporates two complementary vascular active ingredients: Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone, a flavonoid derivative that strengthens the capillary wall and reduces vascular permeability, and Ruscus Aculeatus (little holly) extract, known for its vasoconstrictive and decongestant properties - a relevant combination for skin prone to diffuse redness or incipient couperose. Dextran Sulfate contributes to the tightening effect and local microcirculation. The texture is stabilized by a system of polymers (Carbomer, Acrylates Crosspolymer) that give it its characteristic milky feel. This product is particularly suitable for sensitive, reactive or couperose-prone skin, as well as for dry skin requiring cleansing that respects the cutaneous barrier.
Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -
a good cleaner
a good cleanser that I used when I had perioral dermatitis - well, after I had that junk.
