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).

No
So expensive for what it is and it left quite a thick film on my skin unlike other oil-based cleansers. Didn’t deep clean my skin at all. Don’t reccommend.

Best cleansing balm
This cleansing balm smells so divine! It melts all the makeup off with ease and makes your skin feel soft and luxurious! Absolutely love it!

I keep coming back to this!
The best cleansing balm (better than Clinique, Elemis, Augustinus Bader), Liz Earle in my opinion. Takes off makeup and eye-makeup without any stinging, doesn’t cause spots or strip the skin.

Love!
Beautiful scent, make up literally melts off. Can see why this sells out - it’s absolute heaven in a tub! Lasts me a few months even with everyday use.

Nice but not a favourite
Does a decent job. More comparable to alpha h balm than Emma hardie or Elemis Good product but can’t stand the name and don’t love the packaging but that’s totally personal not to do with product I would choose alpha h or Emma hardie balms over this

Christmas gift
This was bought as a gift at Christmas and I’ve had feedback saying it’s the best cleanser she’s ever used. Jealous now as I want one too!

The best
Repeat buy. Hirons knows. Melts everything but not too heavy. Leaves skin nourished.

Great cleanser
Smells lovely, really nice texture, cleanses well. I have very dry skin with eczema- this cleanser doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight or dry.

Lovely balm
I got this as part of a Cult Beauty Box. It's a really nice cleansing balm, it has a pleasant smell and a luxurious texture. A little goes a long way, as it turns into an oil on your skin. It takes off waterproof mascara but you have to work it into the lashes (it doesn't burn my eyes at all). You can rinse it off with water (it turns into a milk) but I prefer to use a cloth to make sure there is no residue. I think overall I still prefer the Farmacy balm because mascara comes off more effortlessly, but this is a close second.

Not a fan
Not a fan of the smell or texture. Feels greasy, smell isn’t super nice. Not for me.
