If you've been dreaming of adding Then I Met You to your skin care rituals, chances are this is the formula that captured your attention. Earning glowing write-ups from the beauty buffs at Allure, Glamour and Refinery29, not to mention copious awards - you're looking at Caroline Hirons' Choice for 2020 Product of the Year - the Living Cleansing Balm melts away sunscreen, make up and excess sebum to reveal a perfectly refreshed, calm complexion. The supremely sensorial formula has hints of rosemary, persimmon and grapefruit to delight your senses as vitamin E and plant oils feed your face with antioxidants and fatty acids and free it from impurities. It was all so dull, then we met the Living Cleansing Balm...
A staple in the rituals - it transcends the passive act of routine - of beauty editors and skintellectuals alike, Then I Met You's Living Cleansing Balm effortlessly melts away make up, sunscreen and excess sebum while feeding your skin with antioxidants and fatty acids.
The ultimate first cleanse, this sorbet-soft balm is designed to be massaged into skin - pause to appreciate the sensorial notes of rosemary, persimmon and grapefruit - to easily melt away oil-based impurities. It's crafted from a luxurious blend of lightweight plant oils including sea buckthorn oil (adored for its abundance of fatty acids such as stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and omega 6); olive oil (a nourishing antioxidant that boasts anti-inflammatory properties and supports your skin barrier); finally, grapeseed oil (an antioxidant-rich emollient that nourishes as it gently lifts impurities - cue round of applause). It doesn't end with that holy trinity of oils though - it's also laced with persimmon extract to protect your skin from free radicals and promote a brighter tone, plus vitamin E to promote a healthy, youthful finish. We're so glad we met this formula...
Olea Europaea Fruit Oil (Olive), Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil (Grape), Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Peg-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate, Peg-8 Isostearate, Cera Microcristallina, Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Oil, Ceresin, Synthetic Wax, Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil, Diospyros Kaki Fruit Extract (Persimmon), Aniba Rosaeodora Wood Oil (Rosewood), Citrus Paradisi Peel Oil (Grapefruit), Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Oil (Rosemary), Tocopheryl Acetate, 1,2-hexanediol, Bis-diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2, Ethylene/Propylene Copolymer, BHT, Limonene
As there are differences between US and European labelling requirements, you may notice a slight variation amongst ingredient listings on differing sites. Limonene, for example is a compound found in Grapefruit Oil, and the UK requests it to be listed out separately. Then I Met You can assure you that all products boast the same formulation, with the same sorbet soft texture that everyone loves!
For the latest information, it is recommended to review the ingredient list printed on the packaging of the product prior to usage or consumption.
For the first step of your double cleanse, use the spatula to scoop a dime-sized amount onto dry skin and gently massage in circular motions. Add a splash of warm water to emulsify and remove oil-based impurities. Rinse thoroughly before moving to step two, a water-based cleanse with the Soothing Tea Cleansing Gel.
Transparency lies at the heart of our philosophy which is why we have partnered with tech-platform - Provenance - to cut through the industry "noise" and equip you with key facts that matter. A 'proof point' with a green tick means a third party has verified the accuracy of the statement whereas no green tick means that there isn't independent confirmation (yet!), but that the brand has still supplied substantiating evidence (which you can view yourself).

Almost Farmacy green clean? But more ££
Bought it because of all the hype and CH raving about it. It’s good, yeah.. for me it’s almost exactly like Farmacy balm but that one’s way cheaper. For me nothing beats the incredible texture and the whole experience that Emma Hardy gives (and it’s not that much more €).

It's just the best
There's nothing quite like this, in my opinion. First off, the packaging is too cute. But the product inside is even better: super buttery, spreads easily and removes every trace of makeup with the lowest effort, doesn't burn my eyes, smells amazing and rinses off clean. This is my 2nd jar. Too bad the price point is a little steep for only 90gr but it's truly amazing.

Perfect way to remove makeup
I use this at night when cleaning my face from makeup. I do have to remove my eye makeup separately because of my very sensitive eyes. Use this for the rest of my face and it works very well. It’s the first step in my routine if we don’t count removing eye makuep before it.

Must have
I got recommended this cleaner by a friend and I was hesitant to buy it bc it was pricey. However, I took advantage of the BF sale and it has become a staple in my daily routine. It leaves my skin so nice and clean with just a tiny amount, it is really pleasant to use and my sensitive skin loves it. I will definitely keep on repurchasing it.

Good!
Melts away makeup easily. I wash it off with a microfiber cloth and use a gentle cleanser for a second cleanse.

My first cleansing balm
I thought I better start right if I'm going to try this. It smells quite strong, which I don't necessarily like. But it does a great job on taking all my make-up off. And you only need a little bit. It also doesn't irritate my skin or leaves it super oily. The last I thought it would do, but definitely not.

LOVE
Have tried so many cleansing balms but this one must be one of my favourites. Smells lovely, does the job and removes most of my makeup (I always follow up with a cleanser). Would highly recommend it if you’re willing to pay relatively a lot for a cleansing balm (there are other cheaper Korean versions available too that are good as well)

Great
Love the texture and the smell of this cleanser. You don’t need much to remove makeup and it does remove it easily. It stings my eyes a little though
