Reviews For Avene XeraCalm AD Lipid-Replenishing Cleansing Oil
I Like it, but it feels more like a soap than an oil
I'm a fan of this cleansing oil, however it starts to feel soapy/emulsify almost immediately after lathering into the skin. I'm used to cleansing oils that only begin to emulsify after introducing water. I still recommend trying this product.

I dont know about how clean it makes with minimal bubbles but it is definitely moisturizing

Removes makeup, but I don't wear much.
This is a very nice product. It removes makeup. It does a nice job of cleansing my skin. I don't like it as much as the product that I have been using for decades, which has been discontinued, which explains the 4-start rating. I will keep searching for a replacement cleanser.

Avene OIl Cleanser
It takes off makeup great and I like the non-smell smell if you know what I mean!

Non-Irritating Oil Cleanser
I've been using this as part of a two-step cleanse. I used the oil mostly to remove eye makeup, then follow with a gentle cleanser. It is not irritating, even to the eyes. It does not get off all stubborn eye makeup but works for light eye makeup.

Good cleanser
I usually use the extremely gentle cleanser, but wanted to try this to compare. I was expecting an oil type of cleanser. But this feels like a soapy cleanser. It cleanses well, removes makeup, including mascara. I use it in the evenings and follow with a heavy moisturizer.

This is not as moisturizing as I had hoped. It leaves your face slightly tight feeling not moisturized. I read reviews and thought if people with eczema found it to not be drying it would work for mature skin. I will go back to my cleansing cream.

Gentle moisturizing cleanser
This cleanser has been a wonderful addition in my skincare routine. I only use it once a week since it has an alpha hydroxy acid in it, but it's really helped my facial and body dryness immensely. If you suffer dryness, this would make a great addition to your dryness routine.

I really like this product. However, I feel it's better for me in the summertime. It feels like an oil but performs like a gel with mild surfactants that produce a low foaming action.

Would recommend with one caveat
My brother (who is just as skincare obsessed as I am) recommended this cleanser after one of his favorite skincare YouTube gurus posted about it. I was skeptical at first but turned out to be pleasantly surprised! This oil to foam cleanser left my skin feeling hydrated and plump, and the lather didn’t seem to strip moisture at all. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because it’s not the best at removing makeup, unlike many of the oil cleansers I’ve used before. Other than that, this is a great everyday cleanser if you aren’t wearing a ton of makeup that needs to be removed—-or if you do wear lots of makeup and don’t mind following up the cleanse with a swipe of micellar water!

Quick and effective
This is a very effective first cleanser for both face and body. It is a clear, thick gel-liquid. I use it for removing sunscreen and makeup from my face before following up with a gentle cleanser by another brand. I have also used it on my body after sunny days featuring many layers of sunscreen and it works great. It makes short work of removing mascara, but it does sting a bit when I use it along my lash line. Interestingly, it has some light foaming action when emulsified with water, which is not what I was expecting but it does not seem to be even slightly irritating. I don’t usually wash my face in the morning, but this does make a great AM cleanser on its own for days when I feel the need for a morning cleanse. Apart from the slight stinging it causes my eyes, I’m pleased with this and will consider repurchasing when the time comes.

Amazing Product
I bought my first bottle from Avene. I love the product so much. I have acne prone skin and this cleansing oil is perfect. Highly recommend to use if you have the same type of skin as mine.

Great for stubborn sunscreen, etc.
I have super dry skin that I need to be gentle with, and this is soothing while helping remove stubborn makeup or waterproof sunscreen. Happy with it.

Not very sudsy very sufficently cleansing.
It has very little foaming action but that also makes it more gentle on the skin. I have thoroughly researched the product and found that not all soap-free cleanser are "soap-free". They instead might contain some surfactants or mild detergents. If you get past the ingredient list and decide to try then, be aware that it might make gentle skin feel slightly dry, albeit, this is product for dry skin types. This product is naturally scented which to me has absolutely no scent. I was afraid to try this product however because I read reviews saying it has a nutty or "tangy" smell. It is not that bad. It actually dissipates very quickly and is not offensive. Its a better product that what I was led to believe and I will definitely purchase it again.
