Trilogy Very Gentle Restoring Oil Review

Like the whole range the pink and white and brown glass packaging is gorgeous and classy. The oil comes in a small bottle with a little dropper for ease of application.

I always thought a oil would make my skin extra oily. However I was pleasantly surprised. I used this oil after cleansing my skin at night prior to using the moisturiser. It absorbed quickly and did not leave my feeling greasy at all. It has a mild yet insignificant fragrance. My skin has become very sensitive since being pregnant however I had no adverse effects from using this oil.

I have trialed the 'Very Gentle Restoring Oil' over the past three weeks. I have dry, sensitive, acne prone skin with a small amount of redness on 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, apricot and sea buckthorn.' I really like how on the box it shows that the product is certified by BioGro as an organic cosmetic, that is really important to backup that big statement.

The product comes in a 30ml amber glass bottle with a dropper to dispense the oil from. The oil is thin and slippery it has no fragrance to it which I find unpleasant from other facial oils. I like the use of the dropper for the oil as it means you can control how much oil you need. I use 3-4 drops (a little bit goes a long way with oils) each night on my face, neck and decolletage. I find I have to gently massage it into my skin and it absorbs within 10 or so minutes, because I have dehydrated dry skin, this works very well for me and I like the feeling I am left with soft and feeling moisturised. It soothes and hydrates all my dry patches of skin leaving it feeling soft.

I liked to use this after I had cleansed my skin and after I had applied the 'Very Gentle Calming Serum' I think this works well in the evening for my skin personally as it keeps it hydrated all night long, so I wake up with supple and soft skin.

The price point, $43.99 for 30ml, for a standard bottle of rosehip oil it is around the $26-35 mark, so it is definitely a bit more expensive if you compare it with that. Although I do feel this oil suits my skin better, as it is more thin and not so greasy and heavy like some other oils can be on my skin, which make my skin more prone to acne break outs. So I would purchase again but would wait until it was on special at a Farmers store or Trilogy's online website.

I would suggest this to anyone who feels other rosehip blended oils are too heavy for their skin, girls with sensitive and/or acne prone skin as the ingredients are specially tailored or as an evening nourishing face oil for those drier skinned people.

I love a good serum, and this one is now right up there with my top favourites!! Its delicious - from the gorgeous packaging to the amazing quality of the oil...I feel so grateful to be reviewing this lovely oil! My skin is quite dry and gets irritated under stress or due to the weather. Some serums cause my skin to break out but the consistency of the product helped hydrate and nourish my skin and helped soothe any irritation. I use the serum under my moisturiser at night and under the mask, once a week. I honestly feel like my skin looks the best has in ages and my make up sits better on top of it.

I was selected to trial this Trilogy Restoring Oil as part of the sensitive skincare range. I have been hesitant about long term use of oils in the past as the can make my skin feel greasy.

The oil comes in a 30ml glass bottle and the rubber lid contains a dropper which makes it easy to dispense the right amount out. I noticed that the oil is the only product in the range that doesn’t contain the SyriCalm complex. Instead it has sea buckthorn and apricot oil which has anti-inflammatory and skin-conditioning properties.

To use I simple put two drops onto my finger tips and gently massage it around my entire face. I have been using this at night before going to bed, I then put my Trilogy moisturiser on top. It’s surprisingly non-greasy and lightweight for an oil. It has a very natural pleasant scent. Once it has absorbed into my skin I can still use a moisturiser afterwards without making my skin an oily mess.

This oil has been the prefect solution for my skin’s needs and has given me the confidents to reuse oil as part of my nightly skincare regime. The main benefit I believe I have been seeing from using this oil is how much stronger my skin appears on my cheeks. It appears to repairing and strengthening the blood capillaries as my cheeks don’t appear as red. I also wake up with lovely radiant glow the next day.

OMG I love this oil. I have used Rosehip and Argan oils in the past and although I like them, I didn't care for the scent. This oil is fragrance free and absorbs very quickly into the skin leaving it soft and smooth. I have 43 year old, very oily skin so am always careful about what extra hydration I add into my skincare regime. This oil will definitely be on my re-purchase list. The packaging of the whole range is lovely. This particular product comes in a brown frosted bottle with eye dropper applicator making it very easy to get just the right amount of product. I find it to be very soothing and hydrating and my skin is looking great!

This Restoring Oil comes in a cool glass bottle with a dropper, which is quite dinky, unfortunately that is all I like about this product. I wanted to like it, but I found that this oil would just sit on the skin, and I felt like I was basting the Christmas dinner. I found there to be little to no absorption, and this made me want to take it off so I didn't transfer it to clothing. I feel this would be suited to extremely dry and mature skin, and it maybe good to use after a leg wax too. I just cannot get used to the slippery texture of an oil, and I prefer my skin to be instantly hydrated, not to have a product sit on the skin. Unfortunately this is my least favourite product from the Trilogy Sensitive range, I just can't like it. No scent, no irritation, I did not notice any calming, just a greasy oil I couldn't wait to take off.

I'm a religious Skinfood Coc+Nut oil user but was keen to give this a go. I'm glad I did. This oil is thicker and has an odder smell than I am used to. It was a little off-putting but I persevered. Again, I'm glad I did.

Despite the thickness it was rapidly absorbed by skin and felt light on my face. The smell didn't last for too long, and while I still prefer the Skinfood oil smell, the extra 'goodness' in the Trilogy oil will see me make the switch.

The dark glass jar and the dropper are beautiful.

I also used this the way I do the Skinfood oil - multi-tasking and using it as cuticle oil, dry skin oil like on elbows and knees, and even mixed a little into my moisturising cream to save time. It is simple, effective, and as versatile as other beauty oils.

Lovely presentation. Has a dropper to measure out your drops. Have never used a product like this and was pleasantly surprised. I find 2 drops is enough to massage into my entire face and neck. A little goes a long way. Afterwards skin feels soft and smooth. I personally would only use this once a week as a treat due to the cost involved $43.99. Think I would prefer a plastic bottle than glass.

This oil comes in a 30ml amber coloured glass bottle with a dropper. The instructions are to massage 2-3 drops onto the face after cleansing and before moisturising to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The oil felt quite a lot oilier than other facial oils I regularly use and took longer than I expected to soak in. I used mainly at night because of this, and also that using 5-6 products one after the other takes lots of time. Maybe a preference thing and related to having more mature, (over 50) dry, sensitive skin?

Probably my least favourite of the products. In saying that something seems to have been working as I do think that the lines and wrinkles have decreased. Perhaps worth keeping up with it after all?

As with the other products in the range, there’s lots of natural goodies – antioxidants, nourishing & soothing ingredients that work well with sensitive skin, and I had no adverse reactions to this at all.

I received this restoring oil as part of the trilogy sensitive range trail team. I must admit this is my least favorite item from the product range. The oil comes in a nice glass bottle with a dropper which gives you better control on how much product you'd like to use. It is fragrance free and all natural. I found that 2 drops was more than enough for the face and neck but personally I found it to be a bit too oily and I have dry skin. I did not like the oily feel after using the product and was a little concerned that my skin might start to break out but thankfully that didn't happen.I prefer my face products (oils, serums and moisturizers) to get absorbed into my skin rather than leave the oily sheen. However my skin did feel nourished after using it but I didn't really see much difference with fine lines,but than again I don't think it is fair to comment on that just after using it for 3 weeks. A longer use might give better results in reducing fine lines. I think it is better to use this when your skin is really very dry and gone through some sort of damage,I wouldn't want to use it daily. Not a facial oil I would consider repurchasing.
