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...

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).

Lovely Retinol
This feels amazing on the skin. No irritation for me but I am a seasoned retinol user. My skin feels amazing the morning after and looks brighter too.

Then I met you
I really enjoy using this cleansing balm, I usually don’t steer away from the Farmacy cleansing balm but for some reason it can no longer be delivered to my region. Ordered this as an alternative and it’s equally lovely, removes all make up and leaves skin feeling soft

Over-hyped
I tried a mini from an edit box. It’s not a bad product, but comparing to other cleansing balm it’s nothing special and quite overpriced. I noticed that it doesn’t melt that easily and requires me use more product to effectively remove makeup, almost 2x times more than farmacy green clean or banila co, for example. The other thing is that it leaves quite an oil film after washing it off; and even though I always double cleanse, after this balm my usual gentle creamy cleanser for dry/sensitive skin just wasn’t enough to remove the oil, so i had to use a deep cleanser that I’d normally use once a week
