Trilogy Very Gentle Restoring Oil Review

As Ive said with the whole range the packaging is top notch, and this with the eye dropper makes it so easy and stress free to use. The product doesn't come flying out of the dropper so it is easy to monitor how much product I am using. This soaks into my skin really fast, and is a perfect base for the rest of the products in the range. I love love love that it helps keep those fine lines at bay and protect my skin through the day, I have definitely been enjoying dewy glowy skin and I think this magical oil played a good role in that!!!!! I felt like this really delivered, and is a welcomed step in my routine every morning.

I'm simply torn by this product for one reason - it's scent. It is slightly different to the other products in the sensitive range which I imagine is due to the fact that has an oil base formula instead of a creamy one.

Let's talk positive - it has great packaging and labelling with clear instructions. It comes with an easy to use dropper which allows you to distribute the product with as much or as little as you need. Great money saver. Its great for the environment because it is not plastic but glass which can be recycled. Awesome.

A little goes a long way and I found the oil consistency great as it is not oily or greasy, it blends in well as long as you don't apply too much. My makeup goes on so much more smoothly too.

Results were great too, my skin seems clearer, more firm and the pores seem to have shrunk. Overall a great oil until you get to the scent, this is where the negative part comes in for me unfortunately.

Don't get me wrong, the scent is not to the point where you want to pour the whole bottle down the drain or you feel like you want to gag. I've used some nasty oils before so its not like that, but it does have a distinct smell which kind of takes away the joy in using it. You can get past the smell as you get used to it and you know its good for your skin. If it hadn't have been for the scent I would have given it the full 5 stars.

Also the price is a tad on the high side, probably one of the most expensive oils I have come across. But it really is a good oil and I have seen some really good results and I'm excited to see what my skin will look like after it is finished.

I've tried a few face oils now and have concluded they are just not for me. I gave this one a try as part of the trial and in the hope it would be different. I have no problem with oils and they are great for some people however they are just too heavy and oily for me. This oil was slightly better, it felt lovely to apply and had a pleasant subtle scent. But it just didn't absorb enough and kinda just sat on the surface of my skin looking greasy. I think this would be a great oil for people who like using them or who have super dry skin

I've tried the Very Gentle Restoring Oil as part of the Trilogy Sensitive Range review. All the products are amazing. I've never tried an oil before and I was a bit apprehensive with using it as I thought it would make my skin oily. Wrong! I used this in the morning after cleansing and used a few drops to massage into my face. It has a slight nutty fragrance. The oil absorbed quickly into my skin leaving it feeling really supple. Then I used the moisturiser. I think that the oil helps to keep my skin moisturised all day long. It is so gentle, I've even used it over my eyes. My sensitive skin has had no adverse effects. I would definitely try this product again

For me this was my least favourite product of the range.

Coming in a beautiful dropper bottle (Trilogy really win award for simple yet classy packaging) I was a bit miffed at first why I needed two oils (there's a Calming Serum in the range, spoiler...it's fabulous).

So this is like your daily oil in lieu of say your rosehip oil. I used it religiously twice daily for two weeks, but I found it too thick and it just didn't absorb. I needed two drops to use on my face but even that minimal amount just didn't absorb, 20 minutes later I could still move product around my face, I ended up blotting the excess with a tissue.

However this doesn't mean I think its a dud product, far from it, once blotted my skin felt very supple and again there were no irritations or reactions - so a great product for us with sensitive skin.

I passed this along to my daughter who has very dry skin, and she can't speak highly enough of it.

So in short, just not the Trilogy product for me, I guess at some point there had to be one, but it definitely will not put me off using Trilogy.

This little bottle of golden goodness is my favourite of the Sensitive range. Smelling ever so slightly of sesame oil, it also contains macqui berry, apricot (kernel?) oil and sea buckthorn oil. These last two ingredients are great after sun exposure. I use this product after a serum at night to help counteract any weather related effects on my skin. In a beautiful frosted brown bottle with a dropper, you only need about three drops to provide good coverage over your face, neck and decolletage.

I have combination oily skin (which is also sensitive), and because of this i tend to stay away from using oils. In the past I have used trilogy's rose hip oil and found that it never absorbed into my skin and my skin remained dewy even if I only used one drop. However I have to say that I quite like using this oil.

As I've only been using this oil for three weeks, I can't comment on whether it has been restoring as it claims. But because this oil is so light it actually absorbs into my skin rather than sitting on top and not absorbing fully. My skin still feels dewy, as expected, but it doesn't feel sticky or wet.

I use this oil at night (as I saw comments on the forum saying that they use serum in morning and oil at night so I thought I would give it a go) followed by the moisturiser in this range. In the morning my skin feel berry hydrated and supple.

The bottle is similar to the rose hip oil bottles, dark glass to prevent sunlight and a dropper top. I use two drops for my face.

Overall I really like using this oil, it's the first facial oil that I have liked. It's been very gentle on my skin (although I've never reacted to any facial oils before). I would definitely recommend this oil to others.

I was extremely excited to trial this, as I have very sensitive skin and always have a hard time finding products that my skin agrees with! The packaging is beautiful and classy, I really like the pale pink and white colour theme, and the frosted glass packaging gives it such a luxurious feel, weight and look. There wasn’t really much smell to the product, which I didn’t particularly mind, it just smelt faintly kind of clean and fresh. I have been using this at night, over my moisturizer, as I find this works best for me (I tried it under my moisturizer but I found it stopped the moisturizer from soaking in). This oil has a thinner consistency and isn’t sticky, like other facial oils I have used in the past, which I like, as it doesn’t feel gluggy or heavy on my face. It doesn’t fully soak in, however doesn’t leave my skin feeling as oily or with a lot of residue, as it has with other oils. I would usually put this on after I have my shower, and by the time I go to bed, most of it has soaked in. The dropper is really handy and is a good way or distributing the product, as you can control how many droplets come out and not much product is needed- I use probably about 2 drops for my whole face. Overall, I find this is a great restoring product to use at night! For me, it would be too oily to use during the day, as it can take a while to absorb into the skin (as most oils do). While I personally don’t find it an essential part of my skin care routine, it does add moisture and I will continue to use it every now and then at night.

I love organic natural oils. I have always religiously switched between rosehip oil and chia seed oil. I really like this restoring oil. It contains maqui berry, apricot and sea buckthorn. It is very gentle on my skin, its thick but very blendable. A small amount goes a long way. I like the glass bottle and the eye dropper makes it easy to control the amount of oil you would like.

I have used this for the past 3 weeks and my skin has been so healthy, soft and smooth and fine lines and wrinkles seem to be improving. I really like using this restoration oil in the evening and when I wake up in the morning my face is so soft. There are so many great benefits of this oil and I will be repurchasing when I run out.

It retails for $43.99 for 30mls. A little goes a long way and I believe it will last for quite a while.

I've used a lot of various facial oils before, including rosehip oil, chia seed oil, oil blends, and now this one. My skin type is sensitive, but underneath that it's also somewhat combination. Some days I look super oily and some days my face is perfectly oil tree (still investigating why) Then there's also the problem of acne that waxes and wanes. So I'm super careful about oil as I don't want to end up looking like a lightbulb.

The brown glass bottle protects the oil from any sun damage, and the dropper makes dispensing easy. It smells natural, how I imagine freshly pressed oil to smell. The oil is easy to spread and I find that two drops is enough for my whole face and neck area. I like to rub my palms together then press my warmed palms on my face to really help absorption. Afterwards, I do notice a slight oily looking sheen, but since I'm using this at night it doesn't really matter. After about 10 minutes I feel like 60% of it has absorbed, although if I press a blotting tissue to my cheeks I can still see smears of oil being sucked up. I wouldn't use this in the morning, because the oily layer floating on my face combined with the shine of sunscreen is a recipe for disaster. But if you have dry skin then this might be ok.

I didn't notice any major improvements in my skin's appearance, although it might've helped with replenishing moisture after me exposing my face to the harsh winter conditions. It claims to be good for sensitive skin and visibly improve fine lines/wrinkles. The former it definitely ticked, but the latter not so much. After more than a fortnight of using this, I can still see fine lines. I'll give it the benefit of doubt that this kind of stuff takes longer to show an effect, but I'd rather go for a more targeted approach.
