REVIEW - Good Things Miracle Mattifier Moisturiser

When Good Things launched on the beauty scene just over one year ago, I sat up and paid attention. Why? Because Good Things is aimed at those with your skin, contains no animal ingredients, promises to be 'gentle but effective' and is free from parabens, SLS and mineral oil. What more could you really ask for from a skin care brand?! I was hesitant to try at first, since my skin is stubborn as a mule and point blank refuses to respond to most skin care products, but after seeing Good Things on offer in Superdrug I thought, 'Why not?'

[[ Good Things 'Miracle Mattifier Moisturiser ]]

The main product I had been eager to try out was the 'Miracle Mattifier Moisturiser' (say that fast 10 times!) A lot of moisturisers are too heavy or rich for oily/ combination skin, even when they have been aimed specifically at that skin type and many 'oil control' products turn once oily skin bone dry and sore. Miracle Mattifier Moisturiser is different in that it hydrates skin, while absorbing excess oil at the same time - sounds almost too good to be true, right?!


The first thing that will hit you as you squeeze out some Good Things 'Miracle Mattifier Moisturiser' is the smell. It is gorgeous! Fruity and sweet without being overbearing, cheap or sickly.  The consistency is of a rich lotion; once you rub it in the skin absorbs it almost instantly, leaving no sticky residue or tell tale shine. I apply this just before I do my make-up and the results are fantastic! My skin stays completely matte (dewy at most after a night out), make-up lasts so much longer, applies more smoothly and the dryness along my cheekbones and nose has vanished.

Overall, I'd say that Good Things 'Miracle Mattifier Moisturiser' is not only the best facial moisturiser I've come across for oily/ combination skin, but the best base make-up primer I've found overall! For me, MMM is now an essential step in my daily routine.

Available from Boots, Superdrug and Sainsburys, priced at £7.99 for 100ml of product.
