Avene Eau Thermale Cleanance

                                                   PURIFYING CLEANSING WATER




 





So about a month ago I was looking to buy a toner, to balance out the "oiliness" that my cleansing lotion, or on a lazy night my face wipes, left behind. I wanted something that could take off any make up all my other efforts hadn't managed to... But primarily I wanted something that would leave my skin feeling fresh and clean that would work for eye make-up as well (even waterproof)!
So I went to the pharmacy and asked them for a lotion to do the cleansing part and then a toner that would take care of the rest! And then the lady proposed that since I have oily skin I would go for something that would not add more oiliness to it! And so she showed me this Avene product! It's a cleansing water, aka toner! It has cleansing properties that can remove even waterproof make up and leaves your skin feeling clean and fresh and moisturized but not greasy at all! I've been using this product for five weeks now and I haven't noticed any breakouts (or at least none that I can blame this product for) or excess oiliness ( as I ususally do with other make-up removing products).  It doesn't smell of anything as the key ingredient is thermal spring water. Also on the label it says that it's hypoallergenic and is marketed for young and problematic skin!
Truth is I 've grown to love this product and therefore I 've come up with a couple of different ways to use it!

At night I take a cotton pad and pour a little bit onto it and then gently begin from the bridge of the nose moving outwards and upwards! That way I tone and relax the face muscles before I go to bed so that I relief all tension! Afterwards, I remove my eye make up trying not to tag on my eyes! There are many videos on youtube on how to remove your make up properly without causing problems to your skin! Afterwards I don't wash my face cause I simply don't need to!

In the morning after I 've washed my face (with gels, or soaps) I use this to moisturize and remove anything left behind before I put on my make up simply because I don't want any impurities to layer underneath it and remain trapped all day on my skin! Also, on a Sunday or any other day I 'm not wearing any make up I tend to reach for this product to remove any oiliness gathered up on my skin throughout the day! I know I could simply remove with some water and soap but ... for me this product does not compare to anything else!


This product is a must-have for me right now! I 've still got plenty to go trough! Probably a good two months of excessive everyday use, or even longer than that! I bought the big bottle (400ml or 13.52 oz) which cost 16 euros (originally 18?). That's an amazing price given the fact that here in Greece everything is so much more expensive than the rest of Europe, not to mention the US!

 I would totally recommend this to young girls who want to control oiliness and deduce the concentration of sebum on their skin! Actually this is an incredible fix for acne prone skin!
 It's also amazing for school girls or busy women who are into make up but can't afford the time to cleanse properly or the money to buy many individual products!

If you 've tried this product please tell me what you thing in the comment section below!
