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).

My favourite cleanser
I love this cleanser so much. I use it as a first cleanse and it removes everything, including mascara but I tend to use a gentle eye make up remover first as the skin around my eyes is irritated. Down one star as it is pricey but a tub does last a while as you don't need much product.

Melts away the day
Melts away make up and is a good product for the first step in a double cleanse. Got a sample size in a box and would consider repurchasing. Fairly high price but can imagine it would last a good while.

Melts away make up well
I am a HUGE fan of cleansing balms and have tried MANY. This is my second purchase from Then I Met You as the texture is amazing, and it cleans away my make-up very well. However, I do not usually have heavy makeup on but I do always wear waterproof mascara and it removes it pretty well for a first cleanse. PLUS point is it doesn't sting the eyes and feels gentle on the skin but doesn't leave a heavy film on your face after.

Amazing
I love this cleansing balm. It’s the best I’ve found for breaking down everything, I use a face cloth to remove then a simple cleanser after to make sure it’s all off. The packaging also looks lovely. I’m now on my third tub and I keep coming back.

Worth the hype!
I'd been wanting to try this cleansing balm the moment it made an appearance on Instagram, and after a year of waiting am mad I didn't try sooner! I have skin that reacts quite easily, but I had no bad reactions to this balm. It's smell divine, feels great to massage into the skin and removes all make-up. Completely worth the hype!

Amazing balm cleanser
This cleanser is fab! Definitely up there with my favourite balm cleanser. I love the colour and the smell and how it leaves your skin so soft. Quite a good price point too and lasts for ages. Would repurchase

Great
This balm feels and smells extremely luxurious. Fragance like a fancy sorbet and feel of soft butter, it glides really nicely on your skin and rinses off easily. I have really enjoyed using it, and it has lasted me almost a year. With that being said, it is quite expensive for what it is, and you certainly dont NEED it. I felt serious FOMO from all the influencers raving about it, and while it IS great, it is still 'just' a cleanser

Absolutely divine
This is my absolute favourite cleansing balm. It melt so beautifully in your hands and cleans makeup off really well. It feels luxurious on the skin and just glides over your skin while wiping everything away. The smell is amazing as well and it’s a product I always look forward to using
