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 adore cleansing balms, and have tried a fair few now. This one is definitely the most nourishing and luxurious! Skin feels amazing afterwards and makes me really enjoy taking off my makeup & SPF rather than it being a chore. Just wish it was more affordable so I could use it all the time!

Love it
Absolutely delightful cleansing balm. Smells divine, removes makeup wonderfully and washes off very easily with either warm water or a warm flannel. Joy to use! I will be buying my Mum one for Christmas.

Pampering evening cleanse
I decided to treat myself to a pot of this cleansing balm as I wanted to inject a small dose of self-care into my evening routine & I’m so glad that I did. This cleanser has definitely delivered on the wellness front - I just love the citrusy, herbal scent as I apply it at the end of the day, and the soothing feeling of the balm as it melts into your skin. A little spa-like treat before bed! It’s also a fab cleanser - my skin feels clean, soft & very deeply nourished after every use. It’s so moisturising in fact that I’ve noticed my skin is more hydrated day-in-day out, which has proved an unexpected bonus :) Would definitely recommend.

My favorite cleansing balm I have tried It has a nice subtle fruity smell, it takes makeup off including mascara, and leaves my skin feeling soft It also doesn’t leave a film over my skin or affect my eyes in any way which I have experienced with other balms

It's good!
This cleansing balm is very nice. It is pleasantly scented with a citrus/herbal fragrance, it has a thick consistency but spreads easily on the skin, it dissolves makeup, including waterproof mascara well. I don't feel the need to rave about it though like some reviewers as there are some downsides to it. Firstly, the colour stains fabrics and leaves an unsightly stain around the sink. Secondly, it is only suitable as a first cleanse and it requires a second cleanse with a face-wash to remove any residue from the skin. I made the mistake of using it as a second cleanse and the orange residue stained my pillow!

Love this cleanser
Originally brought this because Caroline Hirons raved about it, and she was not wrong! It smells amazing and it's so nice to use. Gets the majority of my waterproof mascara off in the first cleanse. If you love a Balm Cleanser you will love this one.

Meh
Was on the waiting list following a recommendation by Caroline Hirons and I couldn’t wait to try. But I must say I’m rather underwhelmed and I’ll not repurchase. While the product is pleasant enough, I enjoyed the bright yellow colour and it leaves a softness to the skin, that’s about it really. Have used balms that are just as good and cheaper - Beauty Pie - for example. Estée Lauder cleansing balm is much better and Elemis pro-collagen cleansing balm is beyond comparison to this... I mean, it transforms your skin with one use! Do not believe the hype with this one, try one of the others. So disappointing, as it’s literally the first product that I’ve disagreed with Caroline Hirons on.
