Trilogy Age Proof Active Enzyme Cleansing Cream

Firstly, before I review this product, I need to say that I am 21, and have fine lines and wrinkles which is why I decided to purchase this product, and try improving these aging signs before they got too severe. My skin is combination dry and I love Trilogy as a brand, and so they were my first choice for aging products and the Trilogy Age Proof Active Enzyme Cleansing Cream had great reviews, so I thought there must be something special about this product.

Firstly, I love love love the packaging of this product. It comes is a grey tube, that has beautiful matte silver writing on it. It is so classy and elegant, and I think it is symbolic of the aging process being a classy time, not just a time when you get grey hair. I could be completely wrong though, but I really do like the packing. Plus, the tube is easy to use, and releases a small amount of product so minimal wastage. Also, I have never had any leaking from the product so think it is an efficient design.

The product smells natural, and almost organic. It is a whitish colour, and a thick consistency. Its easy to massage into your face, and does not lather, which is why I though this product would be great for my dry combination skin. It seems to remove most make-up and impurities, but I don’t actually use it on my eye-makeup as I use a product specifically for this area (especially as I use waterproof makeup) .

After using this product, my skin does look fresh, but I wouldn’t say brightened. I also haven’t noticed any changes to my fine lines and wrinkles, but this could be because this product does not actually mention that it will improve the appearance of these aspects, I just foolishly assumed it would. This product also left my face feeling slightly tight, so I have to follow with a rich moisturizer afterward.

I won’t be repurchasing this product, it’s not a great match for dry combination skin, and I understand my skin is younger so maybe not the market this product was intended for, but I did hope to see some alterations in the aging areas of my face. Perhaps when my skin matures more, I will have a more positive experience with this product, and can adjust me review then.

I've used quite a lot of trilogy products, and have been impressed- so I was hoping I'd love this cleansing cream too.

Trilogy products appeal to me, as they are a New Zealand brand, with a focus on natural ingredients. Having dry, sensitive skin that reacts to some harsher products I try to go for a more natural route in my skincare regime now.

This packaging is sleek and stylish, in its silver grey tube, with flipcap. It's elegant and luxurious, which is distinctive of the trilogy brand.

The formula is creamy and quite thick. I use a small amount to massage over my face. The scent is appealing, and smells of a mixture of natural ingredients -hints of fruit and other lovely smelling things.

The formula cleanses my face okay, but not as good as other cleansers I use. With this formula a separate eye makeup remover is needed, as my mascara didn't seem to budge using this. In my opinion, I prefer to have a product that cleanses my face, as well as removing eye makeup remover.

In terms of brightening my complexion, it didn't do this for me. The formula was slightly to rich for my dry, slightly sensitive face. It started to flare up a small patch of eczema I have. So, this cleanser may not be the best for sensitive skinned ladies, like me.

I really wanted to love this product, like I do with other trilogy products in my possession. However, I have tried better cleansers, that are much more suited to my skin type. So, I won't BR repurchasing this.

I was lucky enough to get chosen to trial this product. It is in an easy squeeze tube. Has a rich, creamy texture and spreads quite easily. I was able to spread the cream evenly over my face. Did not really lather up. I did not quite like the idea of using a face cloth to wash it off. The smell was not refreshing so did take a bit of getting used to. Once washed off ,my face felt clean and smoother.

I did find that by the end of the day my face felt a bit oilier than usual. I have only been using the product for about 5 days so maybe after longer use your skin adjusts.

I like the product but not sure that It would be on my fav list.

I hadn't used any Trilogy products before trying this cleanser. I imagine it's because of the natural ingredients that the scent is somewhat 'organic' (ie a bit musty smelling). The cleanser is quite thin compared to what I have been using, but it spread very well and lathers up without needing much water - in fact I had to make sure that I didn't use too much (need less than my usual brand) which means the tube would probably last for quite some time, so great value on that score. I've only been using it 5 days so haven't seen any great change to my skin, but being on the sensitive side I am pleased to say it hasn't made it react at all which I'd been a little worried about. Would consider buying again but just wish they could make it smell a little more appealing.

I hadn't tried any Trilogy products before picking this up in the Beauty Vault, but I had heard fantastic things so was excited to give this cleanser a go.

I have oily, acne-prone skin and after passing another birthday have become a lot more focused on anti-aging skincare. I love how simple and classy the packaging for this is, very simple but functional. I'm a big fan of squeeze tubes for cleansers since it's easier to get the perfect amount out.

The formula itself is a light cream with a slight fruity fragrance that smells really nice. It claims to remove makeup but I found that it wasn't effective at removing all my makeup alone, so I prefer to use it after cleansing. I find it does give a nice enough clean, and my skin did feel soft afterwards but not particularly exfolliated. So far after a month of use I haven't noticed my skin looking any brighter or smoother.

This is a nice enough cleanser and I enjoy using it, but for the price I think there's other cleansers available that I'd prefer so I probably wouldn't repurchase it myself.

My

again trilogy is my favorite defense against aging skin. i love the way it absorbs in the skin, I havent noticed exceptional difference in fine lines or wrinkles . this product as atleast I know is a product that is natural And a NZ product!

I received this product from Beauty Review as part of a free trial and have been using it every morning for the last week.

I have been very impressed by this cleanser, and it has done an excellent job. I haven’t had a bad reaction to the change in my cleansing routine and have found that this does just as good a job as my usual Lancôme foaming cleanser.

The consistency of the cleanser is somewhere between a cream and a lotion – so a very soft format. I wouldn’t call it a mousse as Trilogy and some reviewers have though. I find it very rich and easy to apply and it doesn’t irritate the skin. I don’t find it exfoliating like some reviewers have, it is too creamy for that. It rinses off easily just with wet hands, leaving the skin very clean and without leaving any residue. I think it is especially good for use in the cooler months because of its richness, but in summer I might need something a bit fresher and lighter.

I’m not sure about the qualities of the “enzymes” it is advertised as having, or for achieving “smoother, brighter" skin as it is on the skin only for seconds at a time before being rinsed off completely, but I guess any cleanser can claim to have those qualities – clean skin will naturally be smoother and brighter than dirty skin.

The fragrance is very mild with a sophisticated but earthy organic scent. I could pick up the rosemary but not the scent of any of the other natural ingredients.

The packaging is very stylish and looks good on the shelf. I did find that that the squeeze tube with the cap on the bottom made it difficult to open in the shower with wet hands and I lost a bit of product out the bottom a couple of times. I would prefer it in a pump bottle for ease of use.

Thanks to Beauty Review for the opportunity to trial this product. I will keep using it until its finished (which by the generous size of the tube will be some weeks away), and may very well repurchase.

Was so excited to receive my first product to trial and review. When I first tried this cleanser I was really impressed with the creaminess of it. It felt very velvety and rich on my skin. Unfortunately when I went to remove it, I always use a face cloth to remove cleanser, my skin felt a bit tight. It did feel very clean but having quite dry skin, I did feel it didn't help lock in any of the rich moisture I felt at th beginning with the creamy texture. The other part I didn't like was the smell. To me it had kind of a chemical smell and although it wasn't too overpowering, it wasn't a pleasant, "relaxing" smell I would have expected from Trilogy. Overall, this cleanser cleaned my skin but I wouldn't personally spend money on it as it left me feeling like I needed a heavier moisturiser afterwards and made my skin feel too 'squeaky clean'.

This is a really nice cleanser and certainly a step up in effectiveness from their plain Cream Cleanser. My face did feel smoother after using this, but don't expect results overnight. I double cleanse as I don't think this would be an effective makeup removing cleanser and it's too pricey for that. I ended up switching to their balancing gel cleanser to get more results on tiny closed comedones, but when my skin is good this is great.

I kept this in my shower shelf, and water did somehow seep in through the pump diluting the last 1/3 of the product so I would avoid that if possible.
