Eau Thermale Avène Cleanance Mattifying Aqua Gel Moisturizer, 1.6 fl oz — Oil-Control, 24H Hydration

An oil-controlling, lightweight aqua-gel moisturizer that reduces shine, tightens the look of pores and delivers up to 24 hours of hydration for combination to oily, blemish-prone skin.

This Avène Cleanance Mattifying Aqua Gel combines a fresh, gel-cream feel with targeted actives to balance oily or combination complexions. Designed for sensitive, blemish-prone skin, it layers easily under sunscreen and makeup while minimizing midday shine. The formula centers on Monolaurin to visibly decrease surface shine and Niacinamide to support skin texture, all in a non-greasy, fast-absorbing base made by Eau Thermale Avène.

How does this gel reduce shine without overdrying?

The aqua-gel texture absorbs quickly and leaves a matte finish rather than stripping moisture. Monolaurin helps control excess surface oil immediately, while the product maintains skin hydration so it doesn’t trigger rebound oil production.

• Lightweight gel-cream that sinks in fast
• Monolaurin for an immediate 50% shine reduction on contact
• Non-dehydrating base preserves natural moisture balance
• Works under makeup without pilling

Will it help the look of pores and uneven texture?

Yes — the formula tightens the appearance of pores for a smoother-looking surface. Niacinamide visibly refines texture and supports a more even skin tone, making skin look less congested and more refined over daily use.

• Niacinamide to improve texture and tone
• Instant visual tightening for pores
• Leaves skin looking smoother and more even
• Suitable for blemish-prone complexions

How long does hydration last and how should I use it?

The moisturizer provides up to 24 hours of hydration in a single application while maintaining a mattified finish. Apply to clean skin each morning and evening; it layers well with serums, sunscreens, and makeup for day or night routines.

• Up to 24-hour hydration from a single application
• Use morning and/or evening on cleansed skin
• Compatible with serums and SPF products
• Oil-free, breathable finish for daily wear

Is this suitable for sensitive or blemish-prone skin?

Formulated by Eau Thermale Avène with sensitive skin in mind, the aqua-gel avoids heavy oils and irritating textures. It targets excess oil and visible pores without harsh, drying effects, making it a good match for skin that is both oily and reactive.

• Developed for sensitive, blemish-prone skin types
• Non-comedogenic texture minimizes pore clogging
• Fragrance-minimal and lightweight to reduce irritation risk
• Balances oil while protecting hydration

Who this is for: If you have combination or oily skin that tends to shine, looks congested or shows visible pores — and you want a gentle but effective daily moisturizer that keeps you matte while hydrating — Avène Cleanance Mattifying Aqua Gel is formulated to address those needs. It’s especially suited for people seeking a lightweight, fast-absorbing product that layers easily with sunscreen and makeup and is created with sensitive skin considerations by Eau Thermale Avène.
