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).

Lovely
Bought this balm when making the switch to double cleansing (using Glow Recipe blueberry cleanser for step 2) and it's really nice. You need a tiny bit to get everything off and so far it's been great at even getting mascara off. Feels really satisfying massaging it in. Not overly scented which is nice!

CLEANSING BEAUTY
This cleansing balm is such a sensorial experience. The balm effortlessly melts in the palm of your hands and takes off a full face of makeup without the need to tug at the skin. Love it so much!

Love
Favourite cleansing balm ever. Super expensive, but it is the best and has the loveliest packaging :) Pretty colour and light fragrance. It melts smoothly and doesn’t get lumpy bits like other cleansing balms.

Smells like heaven
Repurchased this loads of times now. Has a good smell that’s not too much but quite enjoyable. Removes makeup perfectly as a first step in your skincare. For the price it’s definitely a treat purchase but if you’re looking to try something new I would vote YES

Better for less oily skin
I am prone to visible pores and have slightly oily skin. This just melts into your skin and feels lovely on application. Removes makeup well. I should imagine it’s incredible for skin that is on the dryer side. Whilst I love this cleanser, as a result of my skin type, I use it as a first cleanse. I follow up with a AHA foaming cleanser to ensure my pores are unclogged and my skin feels really clean.

Makeup melts off
My face has broken out a little but not sure if it’s because of this however .Makeup literally melts off. This works very well at removing all traces of makeup.

My favourite cleanser
When I first got this I wasn’t impressed. It smelt nice and got rid of my makeup and spf. I did t realise how much I did like it until it was all gone and I’ve since bought numerous pits of this and always go back to it!

Very velvety & smooth!
This hype is well earned, this felt so smooth and nourishing on my skin almost like a mask and just melted makeup, grime & sunscreen and didn't irritate my eyes. I didn't feel like my oil/combination skin had a film or leave my skin feeling heavy so great for all skin types.

Best balm cleanser
I’m already onto my third purchase of this cleanser. I think I’ve probably tried almost every balm cleanser out there and this is hands down the best - effortlessly removes every trace of make-up. Has a pleasant smell too (although isn’t artificially scented).
