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).

Amazing
I tried this cleanser because my usual EH morninga was out of stock. The EH is my all time fave, but could this be better???? Honestly I’m so impressed with how it takes every bit of make up off, without having to use a cloth to get it all off. I’m still torn between the two but this is a very very good cleanser, and I will likely re-purchase!

Fantastic cleanser
I saw this product as a cult favourite through YouTube reviews and decided to give it a try when I found it on sale last year. It has a wonderful texture and smell, and really gets all the makeup and SPF off my face. It’s a little yellow on application but lathers with water into a lovely creamy consistency and washes off a dream. I follow up with a water based cleanser and honestly really enjoy removing my makeup now because of this product! It’s definitely on the pricier side (hence the 4 stars) - but if you can find it on a promotion, it’s really worth picking up.

Makeup melts off
Makeup does melt off very quickly. Cleans all traces of makeup, however leaves behind an oily residue so would recommend a cleanser after this.

Obsessed
I had a trial size of this in one of the Cult Edits and actually bought the edit again pretty much for this cleansing balm. It melts away all eye makeup, smells divine and looks cute in my bathroom. Can’t imagine not owning this product now!

Will repurchase
Recommended by Caroline Hirons, onto my second pot. It really does everything required for a first cleanse. Beautiful. After my first pot ran out I used others from my stash - although they were really well known makes, they left eye makeup on etc etc. This really does a great job!

Great cleanser
Only used it for a couple of weeks so far but leaves my face feeling cleansed. It doesn’t feel stripping.

Great oil cleanser
A lovely oil cleanser that smells gorgeously fruity and makes your skin feel like it is having a spa treatment. It’s great for taking off make up and SPF. I would recommend using this at the end of the day and not in the morning as it’s quite heavy.

excellent make up remover
If you like citrus scents, then you will love this. The texture is amazing, light and soft. It removes every scrap of makeup and spf, but does not strip the skin. Leaves you clean, soft and hydrated.
