Then I Met You Bong² Bounce Cream, Allure Best of Beauty 2025, Lightweight Gel Cream Barrier Moisturizer with Omega-3 Fatty Acids, and Ceramides, Cruelty-Free, Hydration for Oily Skin, 1.69 fl oz

This cream was originally recommended to me by my best friend. I was a little hesitant to buy it, but wow, it is amazing. It has almost a gel like feeling, moisturize is great, stays on a long time. I use it under my foundation and it isn’t Too much or greasy at all. Wonderful product.

I love it !

You have to pair this with "the giving essence" toner from the same brand.On its own the moisturizer has a sticky/greasy layer once it settles into the skin. I didn't feel that moisturized after application. Its a standard gel moisturizer but it pairs so nicely with the giving essence toner.I tried again pairing it with the toner and my skin literally feels like satin (soft/pillowy). The toner is my holy grail product and I would 1000% recommend pairing these two together rather than getting this moisturizer on its own. I would say that price wise you're getting an okay amount of product but if I had to choose between this and the essence I would personally choose the essence.

I like how it makes my face shine! It is slightly thick but it doesn’t bother me. I put this product first then I put sunscreen. Given the price I only use this on special occasions.

My wife is the one who tested this product and submitted this review:The bounce cream from Then I Met You is a product that evokes ambivalence. On one hand, it boasts a pleasant scent and feels smooth upon application. However, its performance leaves something to be desired.Initially, the cream feels luxurious as it glides onto the skin, thanks to its lightweight gel texture. The fragrance is subtle yet appealing, adding to the overall sensory experience. For those with dry to normal skin, like myself, the promise of hydration and moisture is enticing.However, the cream falls short in its ability to fully absorb into the skin. Instead of sinking in seamlessly, it leaves behind a sticky film that lingers. Even in the dry areas of my skin, where moisture is most needed, the cream failed to fully penetrate. While some products create a slight tightening effect with their barrier-like consistency, I didn't notice any visible benefits from this aspect of the bounce cream.It's unclear whether the sticky film is intentional, perhaps serving as a protective barrier. However, this feature didn't seem to offer any noticeable advantages in terms of hydration or skin improvement. Instead, it left me feeling as though the product was sitting on top of my skin rather than nourishing it from within.As someone who values both the sensory experience and the efficacy of skincare products, the bounce cream left me feeling conflicted. While I appreciated its initial appeal and the inclusion of beneficial ingredients like Omega-3 fatty acids, its inability to fully absorb and provide tangible benefits was disappointing.For individuals with oily or combination skin, the sticky film left behind by the cream may pose an even greater challenge. The last thing anyone wants is to feel weighed down by their skincare products, especially during warmer weather or in humid climates.In summation, while the Then I Met You Bong² Bounce Cream shows promise with its pleasant scent and lightweight texture, its performance ultimately falls short. The sticky film it leaves behind detracts from its overall appeal and effectiveness, leaving users with dry or normal skin wondering if it's truly delivering the hydration it promises. For those seeking a moisturizer that absorbs fully and provides tangible benefits, this product may not be the ideal choice.

I got this for my sister this last Christmas. Honestly I got it for her because I wanted it haha. She said she really loved it and made her skin so soft. Her skin looks clear and bright and well hydrated. I can definitely see a difference since she started. I’ll give this a try for myself when I am done with mine!

As a gel cream, this product is excellent! A gel cream is never going to have the same hydration factor as a traditional cream, which is to be expected. However, as far as gel creams go, this does a great job. For me it is a perfect lightweight moisturizer for day time. I can definitely wear this under my foundation in the summer! As someone who uses tretinoin on a regular basis, I will never be able to forgo my thick cream moisturizer in the evenings (that isn't a seasonal tool for me, I have to use it all the time). Anywho, so with that said, and given that I did not have the expectation that a gel cream replace my traditional cream, I am very satisfied with this product. Gel creams are great for people with oily skin or make great daytime moisturizers!! Under makeup works great for me like I said, but of course, it will still work even if I choose not to put makeup over it that day! I just appreciate that this product absorbs into my skin quickly without leaving any residue, but still provides hydration.If you are looking for a summer moisturizer, or daytime moisturizer, or under-makeup moisturizer, this is an excellent product.I will note, "Then I Met You" is an excellent brand overall. If you feel inspired, dive into the Korean beauty community a bit and you'll see they are well-loved. Alternatively, you can just take my word for it!! This is a well-loved brand and for good reason. I've yet to find a dud in their lineup! Just generally, Korean skincare is pretty much the meta for all things beauty. Asian beauty products tend to be in the "gentle yet effective" category and this product is no exception. Most Korean beauty products are a safe buy, and I would say all of the, "Then I Met You" products are a safe buy!I would buy this product and actually probably will, I would recommend this product to a friend, and I would definitely give this product as a gift. Bonus points for the jar being so cute and coming with a little spatula!! The packaging is so adorable, I will probably continue reusing it once it's empty.

This bounce cream is so supple and refreshing on my skin. I’ve actually used it alone or as a prep for makeup similar to the hydro grip. It’s a jelly formula that comes very well packaged and a mini spoon is provide to scoop product. Overall, it’s been a nice addition to my skin regimen.
