Trilogy Very Gentle Hydra-Mask Review

LOVE this product!

Like the whole range the pink and white and brown glass packaging is gorgeous and classy. The hydra-mask comes in a small glass pot . It is pale yellow in colour and is thick, creamy and fragrance free.

I have had very sensitive and extremely dry skin since being pregnant. I applied this mask and honestly I had my doubts. I thought is was just going to be another moisturiser just a different colour and name. However i was proven wrong. If there is one product to invest in this would be it!

Once I applied the mask - as per the instructions on the pot I sat back and watched my skin soak up the goodness (and it soaked up all of it!). After 20mins my face felt plump, hydrated and smooth for hours afterwards.

I used this product once a week as a "treat" for my skin and it did not cause any irritation, redness or breakouts.

I trialed the 'Very Gentle Hydra-Mask' over the past three weeks I have dry, sensitive, acne prone and a small amount of redness of my cheeks and nose. The packaging of this product is in a white cardboard box which is recyclable, with a light apricot/pink colour on the top of the box. It states on the box 'Sensitive' and lists the active ingredients 'maqui berry, SyriCalm and sweet almond.' I really like how on the box it shows that the product is certified by BioGro as a natural cosmetic, that is really important to backup that big statement.

The product comes in a glass amber 60ml jar with a screw top black lid. It comes with a spatula that you can use to scoop the product out as well as to spread it onto your face which is what I did to not waste any of the product or decrease the amount of germs going into the jar. The cream is a thin creamy balm texture and light yellow in colour it goes on easy and sits well on the skin. A couple of dollops onto my face is all I needed to completely cover it. The first time I had applied to a freshly cleansed face, I felt the soothing and calm feeling once again I sat for 15-20 minutes for the first time, then rinsed the remainder off with a warm face cloth afterwards my skin was so incredibly soft, and nourished with hydration this is really a miracle worker for dry sensitive skin!

The next time I tried it a bit differently, I applied the hydra-mask to a freshly cleansed face and waited about 30-40 minutes then I rubbed the remainder of the product that was left on my face into my face, neck and decollatage and left it on overnight then washed my face in the morning. Wow! What a punchful of hydration, my skin was glowing it was so hydrated! I think this method is perfect for those who suffer with very dry skin as it gives it a powerful burst of hydration that my skin needed especially in winter.

I tried two more times doing it the different ways and I enjoyed them all. This mask is going to be a staple in my beauty draw.

The price point is $44.99 for 60ml, I think is on the bit of the higher end although it really does do the job and there are not many hydrating masks out there for us sensitive skin gals. So I will be repurchasing this little beaut for sure!

Ooooh this mask is so decadent...like a slightly thinner body butter consistency and scent. I really enjoyed how soothing it is and how it leaves my skin feeling nourished and cared for. The packaging is simply delicious! I love that it is made of glass so if I want to, I can decant something else into it when its empty. My bathroom counter top looks so fancy now! I use this gorgeous mask once a week, after I have cleansed with the Very Gentle cleanser. For an extra delicious treat, I have been applying the oil underneath the mask...for a super hydration when my skin feels a bit tight or irritated. After letting the mask sit for approximately 20 minutes, I then compress off using tepid water. I try to apply a moisturising product quite soon after removal as I feel that it prevents the skin from drying out to much. My skin is always left hydrated and soothed. This product range is one of the best I have used and my skin looks and feels so good!

I was excited to trial this Very Gentle Hydra-mask because my skin was going though a bad patch of acne, serious redness and dry patches. I had been been hesitant to treat my skin to a mask for a few months incase of further irritation.

The Trilogy mask like the rest of the products in the range comes in a beautiful brown frosted glass jar. It’s a decent 60ml size so will last a while even with generous use. It also comes with a spatular to scoop the product out so you don’t need to use your fingers but I find this a bit fiddly and prefer to just wash my hands before using. Unlike the rest of the range the mask is a pale yellow colour and reminds me of a body butter. It states it's fragrant free but I could definitely smell a slight almond or berry fragrance. I personally found this very pleasant.

Depending on how my skin feels, the amount of mask I use varies. If my skin is feeling rather dry and stressed I use a good 20 cent size amount (old 20 cent size). Before I use the mask I like to throughly cleanse my skin with the Trilogy Cream Cleanser. My skin absolutely loves this mask. It absorbs very quickly and feels very light weight on so I only need to leave it on for 10mins. This mask is very gentle and there has been no burning, stinging or breakouts from this mask.

I remove any excess mask by gently patting it off with a warm flannel then I pat dry. I tend to use this at night so I follow it up with the Trilogy Restoring Oil then the Trilogy Moisturiser. I would normally only use a mask once a week but because I have been trailing these products I have been using it twice a week to really test it out. This mask definitely gives my skin a 'serious hydration boost’ and leaves my skin soft and smooth to touch. It such a luxury to use especially in the cooler months. Using this mask alongside the other products in the range I believe they are targeting my skin concerns. This is one of my favourite products from the sensitive range and well worth considering at the price.

I was given this to trial as part of the full Trilogy range. As with the whole set, it comes in lovely, classy looking brown frosted glass and a spatula to use with the product to avoid contamination. I have used the mask twice in the 3 weeks of having it and found it to be very luxurious feeling. I have 43yr old oily skin, so always worry about too much hydration but this mask soaked in very quickly over the 15 minutes of using it and washed off easily leaving my skin feeling very smooth. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and only gave it 4 out of 5 about using it again due to I generally forget to use masks. It has a subtle herb scent, and maybe i would be more inclined to remember to use if was slightly more scented.

I have quite dry skin with sensitive/cracking spots also, so I was very happy to get this mask as a gift with the Nudes 2 box. The pottle is very cute in sturdy brown glass with a screw top lid, it also comes with a small spoon/applicator.

The mask is an off white colour and looks kind of like shiny clay when in the pottle. The feel is closer to a gel texture which smooths really nicely over skin. Applying this mask is very nice as it smells sweet but not fake or overpowering. I'm finding my skin does absorb quite a lot of the mask after the 15 minutes, and I just wash off the excess with warm water and a facecloth. My face feels so fresh and smooth afterwards I know I'm getting tonnes of hydration!

The price tag is quite high but I would be very happy to buy again, as I've used it on 3 occasions so far and have barely made a dent.

This is the heavy hitter of the Trilogy Sensitive range, and promises deep hydration, and if you have stressed out dry skin this is the product for you. This comes in a glass jar, following the simplistic theme of the Trilogy packaging. On first opening I was a bit taken aback, as the mask looks a lot like a thick creamy mayonnaise, don't be fooled though, this mask packs a serious punch of moisture. At 60ml it is a generous size for a mask, and the jar makes for easy application. For my combination skin, maybe a little too much moisture, I found that my skin could only take so much of this product in, it felt relaxing having the mask on, I got no irritation and my skin really did feel calmed and moisturised, however I found it to be too rich on my t-zone, my suggestion would be to use this on the driest areas of your face if you have combo skin, to avoid over moisturising. There is no detectable scent, and my skin felt smooth to the touch after using this, you do need to rinse off the excess after using this, I also notice I didn't need to moisturise like I usually do with other masks after their application. A fantastic once-a-week-treatment for me, however I will use sparingly.

With sensitive skin (including eczema around my eyes and neck, product intolerances and allergies), but also suffering from acne-prone skin, I was wary about giving this a whirl.

Turned out, I need not have worried. The Trilogy Very Gentle Hydra-Mask is gentle, effective and soothing. It is easy to apply and is surprisingly readily-absorbed by your skin. It was surprised by just how little I had to wash off at the end. It did leave my skin feeling a little heavy and clogged, but not enough to put me off.

It did not sting or burn any of my ultra-sensitive spots, nor did it irritate my skin overall. In fact, the eczema on my neck vanished and the bits around my eye were soothed, calmed and the redness disappeared.

While it is on the expensive side, I would definitely buy this again in the event of another eczema flare-up as a nice skin reset. I wouldn't use it any more than say once a month as it is quite rich, but it is a lovely way to get your skin back to a clean slate.

Lovely packaging. Comes with application spatula. Ensure you skin is clean and dry before applying. This product is a real treat if you really need a boost. I myself left it on maximum time of 15 mins. This is when I got confused. the instructions say to then remove excess. So I got a soft tissue and removed all I could. Then I followed by moisturizing, well this was not a good look. My skin did not want to absorb any of the moisturizer. So I assumed I should have washed my face lightly first? Tried this method the next time and yes my skin then absorbed my moisturizer but was left feeling quite greasy. Do not believe this is the right Mask for me, but would be wonderful for someone who really needs that boost.

This product comes in a 60ml amber glass pottle with a little spatula to get the product out. I used this spatula twice & found it much easier to just use a very clean finger to scoop out a small amount for my face/ neck.

The cream is very thick & instructions are to put a thick layer on and leave it to soak in for 10-15 minutes before removing the excess. Update: I did this for 3 weeks, but found it a bit thick for my liking. I cut down to a thinner layer, and this is a much better option for my skin. I massage it in & don't need to tissue much/ any off. Afterwards my skin is smooth & does feel very hydrated. I use 1-2 times a week, at night after cleansing and putting on eye cream, which seems to work well.

As with the other products in this range, full of antioxidants & essential fatty acids in the maqui berry oil & sweet almond. Not my favourite of the range, but definitely worth a try for the nourishing effect, if your budget stretches this far. Based on using 1-2 times per week – this would probably last say 5 -6 months.
