AVEDA Botanical Kinetics Purifying Gel Cleanser for Normal to Oily Skin — Lavender & Vitamin E, 5.0 fl oz, 97% Naturally Derived

AVEDA Botanical Kinetics Purifying Gel Cleanser is a gentle, foaming gel cleanser formulated to remove oil, makeup, and impurities from normal to oily skin while relying on mostly plant-derived ingredients.

This lightweight gel wash delivers a clarifying cleanse without harsh stripping. It lathers into a soft foam that removes surface oil and daily grime, then rinses clean so skin feels refreshed and balanced. The formula combines lavender and vitamin E with coconut- and babassu-derived surfactants to dissolve buildup while maintaining a smooth skin feel. It is free from animal-derived ingredients, silicones, gluten, mineral oil, SLS/SLES, synthetic fragrance, parabens, phthalates, petrolatum, paraffin, and formaldehyde donors, and the product is 97% naturally derived*.

How will this cleanser fit into my morning routine?

Use a small amount on damp skin to start your day with a refreshed base for sunscreen and makeup. The gel foams gently to remove nighttime oils and leftover products so daytime treatments sit more evenly. Follow with your preferred Botanical Kinetics serum and moisturizer for best results.

• Apply to face and throat; rinse with warm water.
• Works well under serums and SPF.
• Light foam that rinses clean without tightness.

Will this work for oily or combination skin in the evening?

Yes — it effectively dissolves the day’s oil, sweat, and light makeup while keeping the skin’s surface comfortable. The surfactants are plant-derived, designed to remove impurities without over-drying. For heavier or waterproof makeup, use a dedicated makeup remover first, then cleanse.

• Removes excess sebum and lightweight makeup.
• Gentle enough for daily PM use.
• Pair with an evening treatment or light moisturizer.

What key ingredients should I expect and why are they used?

Lavender provides a calming botanical note while vitamin E contributes antioxidant-supporting properties in the formula. Cleansing action comes from coconut- and babassu-derived surfactants, which break down oils and impurities more gently than some synthetic detergents. The overall composition focuses on plant-based actives and avoids common synthetic additives.

• Lavender: botanical soothing aroma and balancing feel.
• Vitamin E: antioxidant-supporting ingredient in the formulation.
• Babassu and coconut surfactants: effective, plant-derived cleansers.

How should I use this product and what results can I expect?

Massage a small amount onto damp face and throat in circular motions, then rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry. Use morning and night as part of your standard skincare sequence. With routine use, expect cleaner-feeling skin, reduced surface oiliness, and a fresh canvas for treatments and cosmetics.

• AM and PM application recommended.
• Follow with Botanical Kinetics serum and moisturizer.
• Non-comedogenic routine partner for normal to oily skin types.

Who is this for: AVEDA Botanical Kinetics Purifying Gel Cleanser is suited for people with normal to oily or combination complexions who want a plant-forward, effective everyday cleanser. It appeals to shoppers seeking formulas largely derived from natural sources, those avoiding common synthetic additives, and anyone who prefers a light foaming wash that prepares skin for serums and moisturizers. Not formulated as a heavy-duty makeup remover; use a separate make-up remover for waterproof cosmetics or heavy sunscreen before cleansing.
