Then I Met You just launched at Space NK, so I wanted to share this review of the Then I Met You Living Sea Cleansing Tonic. If you are looking for something that will give a quick and effective morning cleanse, check this out.
What is Then I Met You Living Sea Cleansing Tonic?
This cleansing tonic is one of the newer launches from Then I Met You, which is a skincare brand born in California but deeply inspired by Korean skincare rituals.
Founder Charlotte Cho’s parents were born in South Korea, and after she spent 5 years living there, she began her relationship with K-Beauty. Eventually Then I Met You was born and it has been a huge success.
One of the most spoken about products is the Living Cleansing Balm* which skincare junkies absolutely love. I am ashamed to say that I haven’t yet tried it, but I seriously need to rectify that!
Charlotte wanted to create the new Then I Met You Living Sea Cleansing Tonic after having spent over 10 years working with cleansing toners for Korean beauty site Soko Glam. This new product was to be the ultimate beauty water and I have to say, she has done a wonderful job.

My Review
I have been using the Then I Met You Living Sea Cleansing Tonic for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it.
It is such a perfect morning cleanse to very quickly refresh my skin and make it super glowy and plump in a flash. I just pop it on to a reusable cotton pad, sweep over my skin and then let it dry for a few seconds.
It feels really soothing yet it wakes up my face, makes my skin feel so soft and gives a wonderful feeling of plumpness and hydration. Straight away my skin looks more radiant, and I can pop on a serum and moisturiser (or just a moisturiser if I want to keep things really simple) and I am ready to start the day.
I didn’t really expect to love it quite as much as I do, but it just seems to do so much for my skin in one super quick step! It is so smoothing, brightening and hydrating that I don’t even feel in much of a rush to do my next skincare steps.
The Then I Met You Living Sea Cleansing Tonic is also perfect to use after a balm or oil cleanse, to get rid of residue, give the skin a really lovely second cleanse, and also add in a layer of hydration. It really is so lovely to use!
