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.
Use daily. After double cleansing and prepping the skin with the Birch Milk Refining Toner, dispense The Giving Essence into your hands and pat or press onto face. Continue with the rest of your skin care routine. With any expected sun exposure, always protect skin with sunscreen.

A really nice essence
I love using this before applying the rest of my skincare and it absorbs fast into the skin! Really hydrating!
Report this reviewSmooth 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!
Report this reviewGlow!
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.
Report this reviewAmazing 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
Report this reviewIntroduce carefully
I’ve given 4 stars because I was under the impression that the product would be suitable for all skin types. However, on my dry/sometimes sensitive skin, I wish I’d been a bit more wary. I started using the product both AM/PM (about 3-4 good drops) and my skin felt sore after the first day. And then I broke out around my chin also so stopped using for about a week. I’ve reintroduced by using only PM 2 good drops and all good so far…I’d never used an essence before so as some advice, go easy at first! It felt like just patting some water on the face which I think partially led me to use too much each time.My skin does feel less tight and more nourished after following with my other products (HA and moisturisers plus sleep mask occasionally). I personally found using the essence beneath more than one serum before moisturising too much, but that’s my skin.The bottle the product comes in is glass and heavy, it feels like something special and I’m now looking forward to trying the cleansing balm which I’ve waited so long to come back into stock!
Report this reviewAmazing
I’ve literally used this morning for the first time and oh my goodness…what is this sorcery! My skin feels plumped and hydrated and has a healthy (not greasy) glow I didn’t think was possible in January. Already hooked!
Report this reviewAmazing
The Giving Essence is just amazing and works perfectly with their cream. My skin looks so radiant every morning. Would definitely highly recommendâ¤â¤
Report this reviewWorth it
My skin loves niacinamide and I love putting this on in the morning before makeup, makes my skin look dewy but not oily. Skin also looks more radiant and refreshed!
Report this reviewSO GOOD
I have oily/combination skin that is dehydrated, so i was looking for something to give me that plumpness without having to apply layers of serums that would just sit on top of my skin and interfere with my make up. This essence does that and sooo much more. My skin is calmer, brighter, more even and my pores are visibly smaller. I would recommend this for every skin type because a nice hydrating step benefits everyone skin. The price is up there but i think very reasonable if you see how packed it is with amazing ingredients and i don’t really feel the need for a hyaluronic acid or niacinamide serum besides this essence. I will repurchase this for sure
Report this reviewBroke me
I tried this after it was recommended. It broke me out, my skin is acne prone. Stopped using it for a week, and the. Started again; and it broke me out again. Not for me.
