Step One

Living Cleansing Balm

Our oil cleanser combines a blend of lightweight grape seed, olive and seaberry oils. Hints of rosemary, persimmon and grapefruit make this a sensorial, aromatic experience designed to delight your senses and leave your skin soft and clean.

Sebum

Sunscreen

Makeup

Ingredients:

Seaberry/Sea Buckthorn Oil

Rich in fatty acids such as stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and omega-6. The bright orange coloring is due to high lycopene and carotenoid content. With time the coloring will fade but does not diminish the effectiveness of the cleanser.

Olive Oil

This nourishing antioxidant high in oleic acids and hydrophilic phenols has anti-aging and anti-inflammatory benefits. The combination of olive and seaberry oils helps to restore compromised barriers.

Persimmon Extract

Also known as dispyros kaki, this extract is a free radical scavenger that prevents premature aging and photo damage. It is known for its skin brightening effect by reducing hyperpigmentation, and can also regulate sebum production.

Grape Seed Oil

An antioxidant-rich emollient, this plant oil derived from grape seeds nourishes the skin while removing oil-based impurities gently. It has a high content of linoeleic acid, vitamin E and phenolic compounds, and an anti-inflammatory effect.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an essential component of healthy skin, that prevents premature aging due to its powerful antioxidant properties.

First time user experience

Hi everyone!

Shout out to Michelle Phan for recommending this product or else I would have never used it! Her skin looks great! So, I've alway used Cetaphil/CeraVe as my daily cleanser and I never was a big fan of double cleansers because I'm afraid it's too much for my sensitive and easily dried out skin.

However, after trying it out as per directions for about a week - it wasn't bad at all! I have the toner too and it does work well. My skin feels more even overall and hydrated. After about a week, I decided to split the balm to my morning routine and the green tea to my evening while still using the toner. A little goes a long way. So far, I like it! It'll take a month to truly notice a difference but I do feel like my face is brighter I have less active breakouts. Overall, I do recommend the product but it is a little pricey simply for a cleanser.

Fantastic!

My skin feels so very, very clean but nourished at the same time. I never imagined I’d look forward to washing my face.

THIS WORKS!!! My blackheads and pores have vanished!?!

I normally don’t write many reviews but I had to come back to report on this cleanser. On tiktok I saw a video about massaging oil cleanser into your skin for 5-20 mintues depending on how much you want to get out and the oil draws out particles. I never oil cleansed like this before so I tried it out.

I’ve had “big pores” and blackheads on my nose pretty much my whole life. I don’t remember a time not having them except when I did a pore strip, but I stopped using those because I read about the damage and scarring they can cause. I am not joking when I tell you that i look totally poreless and have zero blackheads after washing this off!!! I used the gel cleanser for 60 seconds after and it made an even bigger difference

this method may work with other cleanser balms but I have to give a shoutout to this one because it’s awesome. super smooth, smells good, and effective! what else can I ask for??

thank you Charlotte Cho and Sokoglam!!!!!

Soko Glam

Q: Can you take eye makeup off with these? Is it safe to use around the eyes?

Then I Met You

A: Hi there! Yes the Living Cleansing Balm is meant to remove all makeup including eye makeup. Both products are safe to use near the eyes. We always recommend to still be cautious and make sure that your eyes are closed when using any skincare product.
