Founded by esthetician and beauty entrepreneur, Charlotte Cho, Then I Met You abides by an attitude of thoughtfulness that transcends self-care. It's inspired by the Korean concept of 'jeong' - a deep feeling of empathy and affection that one can develop for people, places and things - to go deeper, to focus a little extra effort in the right places, and spark real change to your skin. Step four in the Then I Met You regime, The Giving Essence strike the perfect balance of antioxidants, deep hydration and brightening power. Get ready to glow...
The key to a luminous, dewy finish, The Giving Essence is crafted to quench your skin with a brightening blend of antioxidants, niacinamide, polyglutamic acid and ellagic acid...
Never heard of that last one? Ellagic acid is a naturally produced acid found in berries that naturally brightens skin without impacting cell DNA, and it protects against UV rays, collagen degeneration and bacterial pathogens. It's one to look out for! The essence itself is made with 80% naturally fermented ingredients, including a derivative of fermented sake that clarifies the look of pores, as well as niacinamide and polyglutamic acid to boost moisture levels and reveal a radiant, even tone. A potent cocktail of antioxidant-rich red algae and berries (read: black chokeberry, a superfood with one of the highest recorded antioxidant levels) work to unveil a luminous complexion.

A wonderful emulsion, with an excellent composition, makes the skin fresh, clean, healthy-looking, instantly soothes, in my case, sensitive skin, absorbs instantly, I recommend

Luminosity and Hydration
This essence gives me the most hydrated and dewy looking skin, calming any sensitive patches and I’m very happy with it. It’s like a luminosity shot and one can notice a difference with the first application already. The only remark to make is the high price. There are numerous K-Beauty essences that cost much less and I wonder if the big price difference is justified or if it’s a product made for the occidental market and therefore more expensive. It would be interesting to compare the ingredients. Besides the price tag, it’s a wonderful product that gives immediately results and feels good on the skin.

Amazing product - but a bit too expensive
I repurchased this essence a minimum of 5 times (which I rarely do, I like to switch between brands) - but this is painfully expensive. That aside, great ingredients, great for my skin, evens it out, makes it hydrated

Great essence
This essence has an impressive ingredients list, many of them fermented. It has a little bit of body to it providing both hydration and moisturization. It sinks into the skin easily and I think it improves absorption of subsequent products. If you’re not into k-beauty or don’t want to put the effort into researching and trying it, this is a great addition to a skincare routine, after cleansing. If you’re into k-beauty then there are several good alternatives at a fraction of the price.

Smooth and glowy skin
This essence is pretty expensive, so I had high hopes and it didn’t disappoint! I use this essence with the birch toner and they leave my skin feeling and looking hydrated and glowy! My pores appear smaller and my skin texture has improved so much!

Glow!
I love the texture, it's silky and extremely lightweight. It absorbs into the skin quickly and is a little tacky on the skin, meaning it would be great under makeup. It gives my skin a gentle shot of hydration whilst leaving it glowing and radiant. My pores appear smoother and a little less visible. I love how smooth to the touch my skin feels.

Amazing glow
I’d never used an essence before so didn’t know what to expect. But from the moment this touches my face it makes my skin look plump, hydrated and glowy - I love it!Â
