Trilogy Very Gentle Moisturising Cream Review

This is indeed a deeply moisturising cream, and does suit sensitive skin - I have had no irritation whatsoever. However, I find it really difficult to apply. Basically, it's just way too thick, and takes an age to absorb into the skin, even when straight out of a steaming shower, post cleansing and serum - it just sits on the surface of the skin for ages afterwards, despite all my massaging. To be fair, it has been good to my skin in all this chilly winter weather, and post-flu, and it helped clear up the chapping around my lips and nose. Hence I haven't given is super low stars. But I would not go out and buy this for myself, due to the thickness and difficulty in trying to get it to absorb. But if you have sensitive skin, and want a deeply moisturising product, and don't mind how long it takes to absorb, then this will suit you well.

This is everything that you would hope a rich daily moisturiser to be - for winter. In summer on the other hand, I see this being too heavy and rich to use on my skin. We have the product in yet another glass jar, the texture is thick and creamy, this is not a light lotion, it is heavy, so you do need to use sparingly if you have combo skin. Even though this is a super rich cream, it is still easily absorbed. There is no scent, and there was no irritation when I used this, but I found this made my t-zone shine. And not in a good way. I am a little, Ok alot disappointed this has no SPF, even sensitive skin needs a shield against the New Zealand sun, being made in NZ I would have thought SPF in facial products, most certainly a daily facial moisturiser is a total Must and let's not confuse sensitive with super dry, these are two different issues. To me this gets 3/5 kisses, as it seems the issue of sensitive skin can be lost and confused with dry skin, after all not all of us sensitive Sally's have extremely dry skin.

Firstly let me say that this cream is beautiful. It is effective and gentle and perfect for sensitive skin. My less than perfect review comes solely for it not being quite right for me in terms of what I need for a cream.

Yes, it works. And yes, it did wonders for my sensitive skin. It didn't irritate it, it helped heal it, and it felt lovely on my skin.

As a Mum of two toddlers though, I really need something that is multipurpose - a BB cream or at least a moisturising cream with SPF in it. I need multi-tasking every day creams so I can get out the door and on with dealing with the joys of parenthood. It might sound nit-picky, but as a parent, you'll understand.

That said, I can see that when my children are older, this cream could make it's way back in to my life.

It is light on the face, doesn't clog your pores and really helps soothe and heal sensitive spots like eczema etc. I didn't notice it helping with fine lines and wrinkles, but my husband said my face looked smoother so maybe it did?!

I'm not a fan of the glass jar or the spatula to apply it, but I understand why Trilogy has gone that way (cutting plastic/helping stop contamination). But it felt like the glass jar was exposing the cream to light and germs every time I opened it anyway.

Overall, a wonderful sensitive moisturising cream, but sadly, not quite what I need at this point.

$50 something dollars for a 60ml moisturiser isn't really my idea of cheap, and me being me thought 'this better be good!' when I opened the packaging. Firstly, it's awesome with sensitive skin. I must really commend Trilogy on their efforts with this range, Didn't get any negative reactions from my face. Yay!

It comes with a spatula, but I'm to lazy to have to wash the spatula after every use so I just use my fingers straight in the pot. I wash my hands as I wash my face anyway so it shouldn't be a big problem (right?). It's very thick in the jar, but surprisingly spreadable on your face. Even the size of a pea is slightly more than I need. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and satiny, with a slight glowing finish.

When using it I didn't notice a smell, which is another good thing since a lot of irritants in skincare are actually from the fragrance. It's well moistruring, and I can use it day and night. Although one thing to note is this has no spf, so do remember to add sunscreen over it in the day. I'm not sure if I'd continue with this in the summer where my skin starts leaning towards the oilier side. But this is definitely great for winter and autumn.

Overall a good daily moisturiser that feels relaxing to apply and does its job well. I like it a lot, but not quite enough to justify spending $50 when my $20 goodness every morning moisturiser does just as well. The luxury packaging is nice, but is it worth an extra thirty?

I really struggle to find a moisturising cream that is light enough for my face. This one came very close and I've been able to use it every second day which is good for me. It comes in a lovely amber coloured glass jar and has a spatula to scoop it out. It feels so silky and smooth and goes on the skin easily. It doesn't leave your skin greasy feeling and absorbs quickly. I enjoyed using this and will continue to do so

I've been using this moisturiser morning and night. This moisturiser hydrates your skin well. I have combination oily skin, however being winter I have dry patches on my cheeks. This moisturiser has controlled my skin and the dry patches have settled down. It has also been good as a night moisturiser aswell as a day dream. I usually only use face moisturisers in he morning and apply serums and night creams at night as they give more hydration. However I found that this product gave my skin enough hydration during the night. I must note that I used the oil in the range at night too. Someone with dry or dehydrated skin might not find this hydrating not enough at night time though.

The consistency is quite thick, more like a cream rather than a lotion. It's similar to the texture of a hydrating cream or a night cream. The texture is on the oily side too. Because this moisturiser is thick and a bit oily it does take a while to dry and settle into your skin. Therefore if you are wanting to apply your makeup straight on top you will need wait a while.

This moisturiser is very gentle making it perfecto sensitive skin. It hasn't irritated my skin or caused any reactions. This product doesn't have a scent either.

The packaging is a dark brown frosted glass tub. I like that it comes with a wee spatula to help you scrape the product out.

Overall I really like this moisturiser and it's great as a day and also night cream. I would definitely recommend this product to others, especially if you have sensitive skin. I think this product is suitable for all skin types too.

Perfect if you suffer from dry and sensitive skin.This sensitive skin moisturiser comes in a frosted glass tube with a scoop which makes it easy to get the products out without it getting under your nails or contaminating the whole tub. I actually really liked this cream and found that it really did help clam my skin and improved the feel and texture of my skin as well. it left it nicely hydrated without the greasy feel and one application was enough to last the whole day. I did not have to reapply the cream during he day even though the weather is quite dry and I do work in a AC/heated office. It helped with the redness dry patchy skin which I experience during winter season. I could apply my makeup right after moisturising as this absorbed into the skin quite easily. The only draw back is that it does not have any SPF at all so you will need to apply sunscreen or any other sun protecting lotion on top. Overall a good moisturizing cream and I would buy it again.

I have been using this moisturiser for over 3 weeks now. I am 43 years old with very oily but clear skin. Although i really like this moisturiser, the scent, the texture and the packaging, I am finding it a little too heavy for my skin type. I would however recommend it to anyone who has normal or dry skin. I've cut it back to just night time use now and just use the other products in the range in the morning and that seems to be working really well for me. The cream itself is a lovely thick consistency and comes with a spatula to avoid contamination.

My skin is super sensitive, prone to drying out and reactive so to find that Trilogy has introduced a gentle range was a delight! When I initially purchased this product it was only available in a tube so I'm pleased they've changed the packaging to a glass jar-no wastage, no chemicals leaching from plastic & better for recycling. The cream itself is thick enough to use sparingly but light enough that it doesn't feel heavy. I purchased the serum and cleanser in the same range and found that used together I got the best results. As my skin tends to be dry the serum just gave the moisturiser an added boost. My skin felt noticably softer and looked beautiful. The dry patches disappeared as did a few red itchy areas. The price isn't a deterent-by using the moisturiser & serum together I get 3 months out of the products. That's a little over $1 a day to have beautiful, soft skin. For younger skin a serum probably wouldn't be necessary, but for aging skin I highly recommend splashing out. I will be trying other products within this range.
