Tolerance Extremely Gentle Cleanser — Reddit Reviews
by Avene
Updated August 19, 2026
Soothing cream-form cleanser with minimal surfactants for sensitive, reactive skin.
What the community says
This cream cleanser uses very gentle, barely-foaming ingredients to minimize irritation and soothe sensitive, rosacea-prone skin. It's great for those with reactive or compromised barriers, though some users report it can feel drying or fail to fully remove makeup. Best for gentle morning cleansing routines.
