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).

Joy to use
This is a joy to use ! Smells lovely, but not overpowering, bright yellow colour is quite fun too. Most importantly, it removes make up, sunscreen and other grime from the day, does not leave greasy residue on the skin, as some balm cleansers do. Beautiful and a joy to use

Underwhelming
With all of the hype about this product I was excepting it to be amazing and it was just very average. You have to use a lot of product in order for it to break down mascara and I felt that it left my skin tight after cleansing. Not for me unfortunately and I wouldn’t repurchase.

Melts makeup away
Only need a small amount of product to melt into the skin to create an oil texture as a first step in a double cleanse. Smell is different - natural oils. It's not my favourite cleansing balm I've tried but does the job!

A treat
I love this balm and have repurchased twice. The scent is a big attraction and using it feels like a luxurious treat. Only 4 stars because it is a bit overpriced.

It's ok
Nothing beats the farmacy green clean, sorry, this leaves a residue on the skin, it doesn't wash off on it's own, so you always need a second cleanse, also it just doesn't remove makeup as well. I'll finish this but I'm going back to farmacy.

Just OK
I’ve found this to be a perfectly fine cleanser. Does what I require & removes SPF, makeup, everyday stuff. I haven’t tried to remove eye makeup with it. Hasn’t irritated my skin. All in all, a standard cleanser- no better/worse than my usual brands. Fragrance free. 1 star off for the livid yellow/orange colour which I find rather off putting.

Actually amazing
You won’t regret buying this if you get sore eyes from oil cleaners or any other type of irritation. Gentle on skin and lashes and removes mascara with ease, doesn’t leave any residue after second cleanse and no break outs.

Good
My skin always feels really lovely after using this cleansing balm and it never fails to remove any oil build up on my face. However the actual experience of cleansing you face with it is a little bit hard but the balm feels so lovely on your skin it is fine. However it is really expensive so I am unsure whether I am willing to spend this amount of money on this product.
