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 balm!
Such a great cleansing balm - definitely more solid than others I’ve tried so the spatula comes in handy. Removes makeup and spf easily, love the fun colour and it smells amazing!

Ridiculously overhyped
This is overhyped, overpriced and hugely underwhelming. I was so excited to try this as I too saw the amazing reviews. However it didn’t do anything massively impressive and for the price point, there are much cheaper alternatives on the market that do the same job if not better.

Overhyped
I've seen great things about this online so was expecting to love it. Very disappointing for the price. It does do well at removing my makeup and suncream but I have to use a larger amount than I'd like otherwise I'm rubbing my face harder than I prefer. Doesn't become very milky when washing off so hard to see if it's off my face or not.

Good size quite expensive , I had seen good reviews on here and on Yt and TT. Quite a lot of ingredients in comparison to my original balm by body shop.

Lived up to the hype.
I love this product. I have wanted to try it for so long and it’s definitely lived up to the hype. The scent is soft but lovely and fresh, the texture is perfect and it removes the day without drying out the skin. Highly recommend!

Best cleansing balm I’ve ever used!
Amazing texture, melts into the skin and glides effortlessly. Once massaged into the skin, you can feel the sebaceous filaments being removed. Although on the pricey side, I’ve been using it for over 6 months and it’s not finished yet - a great investment!

Smells and feels amazing
I use this to remove my makeup and as 1 of 2 cleansers. It leaves my skin feeling moisturised and refreshed

A cleansing treat
I absolutely love this cleanser. It feels gentle on my skin, gives me a glow but most importantly, it feels like a treat every day. I put it on and massage it into my skin as it melts away my make up. It smells wonderful too- I would say a lovely energising citrus smell. It is a powerful but lovely scent but would recommend avoiding for anyone sensitive to strong scents. Overall, a huge thumbs up!
