Our Laboratories have modernised this care product to adapt it to the most sensitive skin, thanks to a natural formula combining mineral oil and beeswax to reinforce the skin barrier and, of course, Avène Thermal Spring Water with its soothing and softening properties. Although a few things about the Extremely Gentle Cleanser have changed, one thing hasn’t; it’s still the ultimate face wash choice if you have sensitive skin. The fragrance-free, gel-lotion formula removes dirt and makeup from the skin (including the eyes and lips) without water, a known irritant for hypersensitive skin. In addition to cleaning your face, it also helps soothe and calm delicate complexions with soothing Avene Thermal Spring Water, an iconic Avene ingredient; that’s one thing that’ll never change! The Gentle Cleanser Lotion can be used at any time of the day to wash your face and remove makeup. Apply with your fingertips and remove the remaining residue with a cotton pad.

The previously known Skin Recovery range is now simply called Tolerance. The range includes core products like the Extremely Gentle Cleanser, plus products in Tolerance sub ranges; the first sub range that has launched is called Tolerance Control. Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication.Much like the Skin Recovery Cream, the Skin Recovery Balm has undergone a few tiny tweaks. Like its predecessor, a more intense version of the Skin Recovery Cream, the balm is intended for those who want a richer option to the cream; it’s an excellent option for those with very dry skin.

Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number). Authority to prescribe an Authority medicine is granted for specific indications and/or for certain patient circumstances. Authority may be obtained by telephone to Medicare Australia (known as "phone approval") or in writing from an authorised delegate of the Minister for Health.Used for centuries, the Cold Cream-based formulation is a safe bet for dry skin. Its secret? It preserves the skin's hydrolipidic film (its protective shield) thanks to a mixture, created in the 2nd century, of beeswax, sweet almond oil, rose water and sodium borate. Even though its composition may vary, it’s always about protecting the skin by using the most protective and nourishing assets nature has to offer.

The bottle looks a little different, too. The rounded edges are now more square, a simple yet sleek change.As with many Avene products, this makeup remover and cleanser is best suited to very sensitive, reactive, and allergy-prone skin. Similarly to other Avene products, the hero ingredient within this formula is Avene Thermale Spring Water; this star ingredient is inside every Avene product and helps to keep skin calm and hydrated. Evaluation of the sensitive scale immediately after the first application, then at 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months.
