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).

Best cleanser
I would say this is the best cleanser I have used and keep coming back to it. It is in the pricey side however you only need a small amount, it melts to a lovely oil taking off all makeup and sunscreen. Highly recommended

The best cleansing balm
I absolutely love this cleansing balm! It's on the pricy side so I've tried many others but none are a match for it. It smells incredible, sweet and delicious but not too over powering; it's smooth and silky to use as a balm and emulsifies well; is easy to wash off and doesn't leave a oily residue, and it doesn't sting your eyes. A true cult staple

Holy grail
This is my number 1 cleanser. I love the texture and smell. Leaves a slight residue on the skin so I use as a night cleanse, but it is really moisturising. Just gorgeous.

Obsessed
I first got a mini size of this in a Cult Edit and my face is sad when I use anything else. I was using up some other cleansers that I received but can’t wait to go back to this. Yes, it’s expensive but it lasts me ages as a small amount goes such a long way. It smells amazing and melts off even waterproof eyeliner and mascara. A favourite.

Favourite cleanser so far
Recommend by Robert Webb and it’s my favourite cleanser by far, but I only get it as a treat as it is a little over-priced, so I mostly use Korean brands now. When I do get this, I put in on dry skin and leave for ten minutes like a mask.. it really is lovely, just pricey!

Favourite Balm
The texture of the balm is so dreamy, it's cushiony and glides on the skin so well, removes 90% of my make up and it smells delightful.
