Good Things Deep Pore Anti Blemish Cleanser

If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know I am a big fan of Good Things Skincare, they are a really affordable option for natural, nasty free skincare. Developed by Beauty Writer Alice Hart Davis it is designed for young skin, and uses superfruit extracts in gentle but effective formulations.

The Anti Blemish Cleanser is a 2 – in – 1 cleanser and toner, that helps to ‘unclog pores and remove excess sebum without stripping your skin’s natural oils’. I have been using this for the past few weeks, and have loved using it. I use it in the morning after my Liz Earle’s Cleanse and Polish or the Good Things Stay Clear Purifying Cleanser, and it makes my skin feel clean, and refreshed.
I personally wouldn’t use this as a cleanser in it’s own, I definitely see it as more of a toner. For me this is the perfect toner for the morning; the scent is a gorgeous uplifting strawberry scent, and my skin feels less oily but not stripped. Since I have been using this I have noticed I have less breakouts, and blackheads and blocked pores have definitely reduced. I also have changed a lot of other products in my skincare regime so the combination of products has probably also helped to improve my skin, I have tried a few other alcohol free toners and this one works better for me than any other so it will probably be a permanent feature in my skincare routine.
The packaging, like all of the Good Things range is simple, practical but still gorgeous to look at, and feels young and fun. The formula is free from Parabens, SLS, Mineral Oils and Animal Ingredients.
If you are looking for an alcohol free toner for oily or combination skin this would be a great one to try, especially if you love fruity scents!
You can find Good Things Anti Blemish Cleanser at Boots where it retails at £4.99 for 200ml

Review - Good Things Miracle Mattifier

I’ve found lately that none of my moisturisers were really working for me, all leaving my skin too shiny for my liking and not sinking in quick enough. Good Things a skincare line that keeps getting my attention with its great-smelling, chemical free products that actual work. It doesn’t promise you that natural skincare will change your life, rid you of all blemishes and wrinkles etc it just promise to be free from SLS, parabens, mineral oils and other nasties. As well as that all their products are vegetarian and vegan friendly.

Miracle Mattifier is aimed at people with an oily skin type and promises to sink into the skin quickly so skin stays smooth, matte and is less prone to break out. Surprisingly it has quite a rich thick texture, as you will notice in the photo below, but it really does sink in quickly. I massage it in for a few seconds and there is no residue left behind, my skin is left smoother and more matte.

This makes a great base for make-up and I have been using it under Bourjois’ Silicone Free Bio Detox Foundation (which can be a bit tricky to blend) and it gives a great surface to work on.

For your money you get 100ml of product, which is great, as you only need the amount shown to cover your face, so a tube will last you ages!

If you have oily skin and are looking for a well priced moisturiser to help you keep it under control then Good Things Miracle Mattifier may be worth a look. I wouldn’t recommend it to those with drier skins, as you might find it doesn’t give you enough moisturisers, but Good Things do a couple of moisturisers (as well as a cleanser) aimed at drier skins.

You can find Miracle Mattifier at Boots, Superdrug and Sainsbury's where it retails at £7.99 for 100ml

Review: Good Things Stay Clear Purifying Cleanser

I bought this as I wanted a cleanser that was quick to use in the morning and didn’t require any faffing around with a muslin cloth. I also wanted something that was SLS free, so when I spotted this at Boots, I picked it up.
It is free from parabens, sodium laureth sulphate and mineral oils, it is also suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It claims to use extracts of blueberry, mango and willow bark to ‘decongest the skin’ and keep ‘breakouts at bay’, I haven’t used it long enough to notice any skin benefits yet, but it does exactly what I need it to.

It’s a gel like consistency, but it doesn’t foam up a lot. After using this my skin feels comfortable and clean but not stripped; something that usually happens when I use foaming cleansers. I haven’t tested this cleanser’s ability at removing make-up because that isn’t why I bought it, I think a cream or oil based cleanser is necessary for make-up removal anyway.
It comes packaged in a simple white tube,so is perfect for travelling. Another thing I love about this product is the scent! It really does gorgeously and naturally fruity, a great scent to pick you up in the morning.
Here’s the ingredients for anyone who’s interested:
