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. Step four in the Then I Met You regime, The Giving Essence strike the perfect balance of antioxidants, deep hydration and brightening power. Get ready to glow...
The key to a luminous, dewy finish, The Giving Essence is crafted to quench your skin with a brightening blend of antioxidants, niacinamide, polyglutamic acid and ellagic acid...
Never heard of that last one? Ellagic acid is a naturally produced acid found in berries that naturally brightens skin without impacting cell DNA, and it protects against UV rays, collagen degeneration and bacterial pathogens. It's one to look out for! The essence itself is made with 80% naturally fermented ingredients, including a derivative of fermented sake that clarifies the look of pores, as well as niacinamide and polyglutamic acid to boost moisture levels and reveal a radiant, even tone. A potent cocktail of antioxidant-rich red algae and berries (read: black chokeberry, a superfood with one of the highest recorded antioxidant levels) work to unveil a luminous complexion.
Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate, Propanediol, Niacinamide, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Methylpropanediol, Ellagic Acid, Aronia Melanocarpa Fruit Extract, Sodium Polyglutamate, Glycerin, Corallina Officinalis Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Morus Alba Root Extract, Allantoin, Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract, Ribes Nigrum Fruit Extract (Black Currant), Rubus Coreanus Fruit Extract, Lycium Chinense Fruit Extract, Curcuma Longa Root Extract (Turmeric), Glycyrrhiza Uralensis Root Extract (Licorice), Rubus Fruticosus Fruit Extract (Blackberry), Rubus Idaeus Fruit Extract (Raspberry), Betaine, Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract, Aristotelia Chilensis Fruit Extract, Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract, Vaccinium Angustifolium Fruit Extract (Blueberry), Aloe Barbadensis Flower Extract, Solanum Melongena Fruit Extract (Eggplant), Gardenia Jasminoides Fruit Extract, Sodium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate, Sodium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract, Xanthan Gum, Coccinia Indica Fruit Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Aqua, Ocimum Basilicum Flower/Leaf Extract, Tocopherol.

Introduce carefully
I’ve given 4 stars because I was under the impression that the product would be suitable for all skin types. However, on my dry/sometimes sensitive skin, I wish I’d been a bit more wary. I started using the product both AM/PM (about 3-4 good drops) and my skin felt sore after the first day. And then I broke out around my chin also so stopped using for about a week. I’ve reintroduced by using only PM 2 good drops and all good so far… I’d never used an essence before so as some advice, go easy at first! It felt like just patting some water on the face which I think partially led me to use too much each time. My skin does feel less tight and more nourished after following with my other products (HA and moisturisers plus sleep mask occasionally). I personally found using the essence beneath more than one serum before moisturising too much, but that’s my skin. The bottle the product comes in is glass and heavy, it feels like something special and I’m now looking forward to trying the cleansing balm which I’ve waited so long to come back into stock!

Amazing
I’ve literally used this morning for the first time and oh my goodness…what is this sorcery! My skin feels plumped and hydrated and has a healthy (not greasy) glow I didn’t think was possible in January. Already hooked!

Worth it
My skin loves niacinamide and I love putting this on in the morning before makeup, makes my skin look dewy but not oily. Skin also looks more radiant and refreshed!

Amazing
Love it. It's the only product I have ever bought that has an even better ingredient list than Sunday Riley Juno. Love it. Use it every morning after my glow recipe PHA toner and it's sublime.

Belongs to my top 3 essence
I've tried many essences and usually, they are too thick or don’t give the desired amount of hydration. Essence is feeling light but super hydrating for your skin. This made my skin feel so supple and looking glowy! Non-irritating and skin looks so radiant and healthy. They need to make a bigger bottle of this because I’m loving it. *PR Gift

Glow-getter
Lightweight but packs a punch. So hydrating and brightening. Has done wonders for my pigmentation and it’s worth every penny. This will forever be a staple in my routine.

Beautiful Essence
I brought this essence after having such a good experience with the cleansing balm. I’m very impressed. I’ve only used this product a week and I’ve already noticed my breakouts have calmed down, my skin feels and looks healthier, brighter and the texture has improved. It’s definitely on the more expensive side but I would highly recommend it. I have now purchased the face wash. Very impressed with this brand. The ingredients in this are insane!

Lovely
This is so nice. It's very hydrating but feels very different from hyaluronic acid based hydrating products - not sticky at all. I use it right after cleansing and it sinks right in without leaving the skin feeling tight. It's a 5/5 for me, but I wouldn't pay full price.
