Featured Ingredients

Rice Ferment Filtrate

This ingredient is rich in enzymes and amino acids to nourish your skin, while giving your skin a brightening boost.

Green Tea

Also known as camellia sinensis, green tea is a well-studied antioxidant that is rich in polyphenols. Polyphenols in green tea provide anti-aging and skin calming properties, treating UV-exposed skin.

Licorice Root

Gentle, effective antioxidant and natural skin brightener that effectively evens out skin tone, while reducing free radicals.

Tea Tree Leaf

This herbal antioxidant is commonly used for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, as a gentle treatment for acne-prone skin.

Centella Asiatica

This is an antioxidant-rich ingredient that is made up of several actives such as asiatic acid, madecassic acid, and madecassoside. Several studies show positive wound-healing effects, as well as increased moisture content in skin.

Gluconolactone (PHA)

Gluconolactone is a naturally occurring polyhydroxy acid (PHA) with exfoliating, moisturizing and antioxidant activity without sensitizing the skin.

"This cleansing gel is packed with rice ferment filtrate, because I was inspired by rice water and its long history of being used in Korean remedies for cleansing and nourishing the skin."

Charlotte Cho, Founder of Then I Met You

FAQ

Do I need this if I already use the Living Cleansing Balm?

We recommend using both together as a double cleanse. The Living Cleansing Balm removes oil-based impurities like sunscreen and makeup, while the Soothing Tea Cleansing Gel removes sweat, dirt, and any remaining residue.

Does this cleanser contain exfoliating ingredients?

Yes. The Soothing Tea Cleansing Gel contains PHAs that help lightly exfoliate and clear the pores while cleansing, leaving skin feeling smoother and refreshed.

Is it drying?

No, the formula is a pH of 7, designed to cleanse thoroughly while helping maintain the skin's natural moisture barrier. A little bead is all you need for a thorough cleanse.

Can I use it every day?

Yes. The Soothing Tea Cleansing Gel is gentle enough for daily morning and evening use.

The only face wash since it came out
The only face wash that cleanses my having leaving it feeling actually clean. I have tried so many other face wash and continue to try others just for “fun” and it will always remind me of why this is my favorite face wash. It does not strip off the natural oils in my face, drying yet uncleaned. This is my holy grail because it stops the pimples from coming through! Everytime I feel like I’m about to break out, I use this face wash and it stops it from coming out! You’ll have to try it for yourself!
