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.
Aqua, Rice Ferment Filtrate (Sake), Glycerin, Sorbitol, Diethylhexyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, Acrylates/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate Copolymer, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, 1,2-hexanediol, Diglycerin, Potassium Cocoate, Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract (Licorice), Propylene Glycol, Oryza Sativa Bran Oil (Rice), Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Centella Asiatica Extract, Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Extract (Tea Tree), Panthenol, Salix Alba Bark Extract (Willow), Gluconolactone, Citric Acid, Theobroma Cacao Extract (Cocoa), Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Ethylhexylglycerin, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil (Orange), Dextrin, Disodium Edta, Cinnamomum Camphora Bark Oil (Camphor), Glyceryl Caprylate, T-butyl Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Limonene, Linalool
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).

Do not get this in your eyes!!
I've never tried a cleanser like this before - the texture is so thick it reminds me of golden syrup. I really wanted to like it as it's such a unique product however, I didn't think it did an amazing job as a cleanser. The most important thing to note though, is that this cleanser stings like **** if you get it in your eyes. I don't even have particularly sensitive eyes but this was really painful and for that alone it's a no for me sadly.

Love hate relationship
Cleanses well? To an extent. Removes makeup? Not really. Slimy much? Yes. I weirdly liked it. But I don’t think I’d buy it again. It was a fun ride though and I used it all up actually.

The best
I reckon people need to understand certain products instead of just berating online. Otherwise it means that they are really not very knowledgeable when it comes to skincare. This is a very luxurious cleanser. The texture is the best and the smell is incredible. Amazing product, sad that they will change the formula into a more liquid one and change the smell too.

Really thick and not the easiest to use
A really thick cleanser, good when you finally get it working but takes ages to lather and isn’t the best for rubbing on face

Strange consistency
I didn’t love this which is a shame as I love the Then I Met You cleanser. It’s a strange consistency and hard to get out of the bottle as you begin to run out.

Nice
This is a very gentle on the skin cleanser. It leaves my skin feeling squeaky clean that doesn’t make my face tight but it has a weird smell that I can’t get on board with. It’s weird that I like the feeling of it but the tea smell I can’t live with. Worth a try if you’re looking for a gentle cleanser and don’t mind fragrance.

Love this
I've gone through a few pots of the cleansing balm, so I wanted to try this as a second cleanse. My skin loves it! I have very dry/dehydrated skin and after using this my skin feels wonderfully clean, but without any tightness. You only need a pea sized amount and it will generously cover my whole face, so will last for ages.

Big fan!
I am a huge fan of a gel cleansers as well as Korean skincare, so this was a quick easy purchase for me. I love how this feels while using it on the skin as well as washing it off. This is much more of a gel texture cleanser than I have ever used before. Almost had a 'slime' to it when pulling it away from the entry hole. Smells amazing and I am pH obsessed, so this works really well and is lovely on my skin. Something I would definitely repurchase.
