Founded by esthetician and beauty entrepreneur, Charlotte Cho, Then I Met You abides by an attitude of thoughtfulness that transcends self-care. It's inspired by the Korean concept of 'jeong' - a deep feeling of empathy and affection that one can develop for people, places and things - to go deeper, to focus a little extra effort in the right places, and spark real change to your skin. An invaluable sidekick to the industry-adored {Living Cleansing Balm}, the Soothing Tea Cleansing Gel is the ultimate second cleanse; designed to make quick work of oil-based impurities, this gentle cleanser clarifies your pores and counters breakouts all while flooding your skin with hydrating glycerin and sodium hyaluronate—no one likes their skin to feel stripped.
Following in the footsteps of the iconic Living Cleansing Balm is no small feat but the Soothing Tea Cleansing Gel makes it look easy. A purifying second cleanse, this gentle gel effectively lifts water-based impurities (think: sweat and pollution) to promote clear, glowing skin.
Crafted to have a pH of 6, this soothing formula balances clarifying ingredients with a cocktail of hydrating and nourishing extracts so that your skin feels refreshed but never stripped. Leading the conditioning charge is rice ferment filtrate - an impressive ingredient that lends the blend its abundance of enzymes and amino acids to nourish your skin as it gently clears impurities. It's also infused with green tea (an industry-adored antioxidant) to encourage calm, youthful-looking skin, plus liquorice root extract to promote a more even, luminous tone—get ready to glow! As for its blemish-busting capabilities, it's laced with gluconolactone (a naturally occurring poly hydroxy acid that exfoliates without sensitising the skin) and anti-inflammatory tea tree to clear your pores and prevent pesky breakouts.

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 formulations you know and love.
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 second step of your double cleanse after rinsing off the Living Cleansing Balm, lather a pea-sized amount using water and wet hands. Then massage into your skin to remove water-based impurities. Rinse thoroughly and gently pat dry.
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).

Really like it....
First of yes it does smell a bit like fermented rice/sake and black tea at least to me but I don't mind the smell. I have dry skin and find this doesn't leave my skin tight after which is great. Only reason I give it a 4 instead of a 5 is I've been using it for a few weeks. It is a bit goopy before you put it on and when it's on the face it feels nice and soothing. I use it as light cleanse or second cleanse.

The smell…
I concur with the previous review, this stuff makes my face feel tight and also smells pretty bad. For the price there are much better alternatives out there.

Strange goop but it works
I absolutely love the oil based cleanser in this range. This one is for water based impurities so it’s a bit sticky and slimy. It’s hard to describe the texture. It doesn’t smell of anything just a weird brown goop. I used this as my second cleanser and it does the job but if you have dry skin you could get away with using the first cleanser twice. I have combination skin so this helps to balance my skin as the water based cleanser dries out the oil. Skin feels soft and really clear I don’t have any blemishes at all (I would normally get 2-3 large hormone spots but since using this brand I don’t appear to have any)

The smell and tight skin
I love the cleaning balm so thought I would try this as part of double cleanse. Def mistake. The texture is a strange slim like consistency and the smell I find rather offensive. If you can get past that it feel nice while you are cleansing but leaves my skin feeling tight, almost like all the moisture was sucked out. My skin is normal (a little dry but this is only in colder months). Stick with the cleansing balm... it’s spectacular!!
