Why do we love Then I Met You Living Balm Cleanser?
Extremely effective at removing even the most stubborn of make-up like waterproof mascara and deep ink black eyeliner, this cleanser is a delight to use! The texture is buttery smooth and glides evenly over skin, no tugging or scrubbing. It leaves no oily residue, however it’s always good to follow-up with a water-based second cleanse to really cleanse your face well.
The smell is not annoying or irritating, but light and pleasant, it actually feels like a spa cleanse as you massage it in. It doesn’t sting your eye area, so it’s very gentle.
With the small sized amount needed to cleanse an entire face, this tub will last you around 6 months with daily use. As such, the price per usage is considerably low and great value for money!

Everyone and anyone with a face to clean. The formula is so gentle, it truly is suitable for everyone.
