Living Cleansing Balm
Summary of Reviews
Then I Met You Living Cleansing Balm has a thick, buttery texture that removes waterproof makeup and sunscreen without stripping or leaving a greasy residue. Hyram (skincare content creator) calls it "like a mango smoothie on your face" and notes it leaves skin soft and supple, though he flags the premium price as the only downside. Board-certified dermatologist Doctorly confirms it's great at removing anything on the skin without overly stripping, and several creators praise its long-lasting value.
