What A Treat

Lovely packaging. Easy to use pump bottle. Apply under moisturizer if you need some soothing help with your skin. I actually found my skin tightening after application. When I have a skin flareup I would reach for this serum and apply twice a day.

Tips: One pump is enough.

Trilogy Calming Serum

Like the whole range the pink and white and brown glass packaging is gorgeous and classy. The calming serum comes in a small bottle with pump dispenser - which caused a few marks on my tops due to it getting its aim slightly wrong!

The calming serum did as it said it would. It calmed and soothed my irritated skin when it needed it. Being a swimmer my skin gets very dry and irritated from the chlorine in the pool. I commonly used this product after I got out of the pool and it soothed my irritated immediately. Initially it makes your skin feel tight but used in conjunction with the moisturiser it made my skin feel calm and soft.

I had not adverse reactions from using this serum and I will definitely be using it again.

Tips: Use a small amount on skin at the first sign of redness or irritation.

Lovely calming serum.

I was extremely fortunate to be given the opportunity to trial this calming serum as part of the Trilogy very gentle sensitive skin care regime. I suffer from a moderate amount of rosacea mainly redness on my cheeks and some acne on my chin so I was keen to get stuck into this serum.

The calming serum is the second step of the skincare regime after the cream cleanser. It comes in a 30ml size glass pump. There is a little cap that attaches to the end of the pump for when it is not being used. This cap will come in handy when I travel to stop product accidentally coming out.

I found the serum quite runny compared to one’s I have used in the past so care is needed when dispensing. I normally use one pump and find this is enough to cover my entire face and an extra half pump to cover my neck.

The serum is rather milky in appearance which gives it a very lightweight texture without being sticky. I found it absorbs very quickly into my skin and while I did notice my skin felt tight after using the serum I discovered that this was due to it containing Aloe Vera extract and not from skin irritation.

This product has an immediate cooling and soothing effect and visibly helped to reduce redness on my skin.

Tips: Prefect for using after exercise to relieve and calm a hot flushed face.

A new must have - SOS for your skin!

Well what can I say, the beautiful luxurious packaging once again including an easy pump top, top quality ingredients and it is a product that does what it says it does. This is fantastic to use after cleansing or on any irritated areas of skin. I love to take 1-2 pumps and gently pat it all over my face, neck and decolletage areas, as I often find I get a lot of redness on my upper chest. This Very Gentle Calming Serum is soothing, cooling and calming as it states. Instantly comforting and reducing redness and irritation. I just love it, along with the other products in this range I feel like it's a real treat for my skin. Some of the key ingredients are maqui berry, SyriCalm and calendula along with chamomile and green tea. It smells similar to the rest of the Very Gentle range, a light barely noticeable, natural smell, a little like calendula. It says "SOS soothing and hydrating rescue - immediate peace and comfort for highly reactive skin" on the bottle and this is so true. That is really the best way to describe it, SOS for your skin! It's a nice product to have if you suffer eczema or very sensitive skin and you sometimes can't use products, you could just use this alone as a gentle moisturiser. It comes in a 30ml bottle and as with the other products a little goes a long way so it's good value and I am adding this to my skincare regime. It's a must have for me now!

Tips: A little goes a long way, pat gently onto skin where and as required or daily after cleansing.

Best serum I have tried!

I have never really understood the point of serums, until this one! For me all other serums have left my skin tight and dry. However this serum has made me realise why people love them! The texture of the product is silky smooth and gives an instant cooling effect to irritated skin. It makes my skin feel soft and hydrated and reduces redness straight away. On the bottle it is described as an SOS Soothing and Hydrating Rescue, I could not give this a better description, it does exactly that! I have used it when I have had an eczema flare up on my face and it takes away the redness and the itch as well as hydrating the affected area. Like the rest of the range it has the maqui berry and SyriCalm in it as well as adding calendula which is full of antioxidants to calm and protect your irritated skin. It is in a nice easy to use pump bottle, where one pump disperses the perfect amount to lightly cover your entire face and neck. I use two pumps when my skin feels like it needs that little bit extra of a boost. I did find that sometimes the first pump got stuck a bit and would shoot the product out, so be careful!

Tips: Use both day and night but if you have a red irritated skin flare up, dab a small amount onto the area for instant relief and hydration. Be careful of the pump, it can get stuck and shoot the product out. Make sure the nozzle is facing into your palm!

Calming face serum

I trialed the 'Very Gentle Calming Serum' 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 calendula.' 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 itself comes in a 30ml glass amber bottle with a small push pump bottle. The texture is a white liquid that easily soaks into my skin when I rub it in. I found the pump to bit quite 'squirty' even after using it every day it didn't really often, so you can't control how much product with ease. Its either the whole pump press or you get nothing, although a little goes a long way, the amount that squirted out isnt excess as I used it on my face, neck and decolletage. Once it is on my skin instantly it feels refreshed and a slight cooling effect, my redness on my cheeks and nose decreases, and once the liquid has sunk it, my skin is left feeling extremely soft. I think this product would work wonders for people who have trouble with the tightness feeling of skin, or those who struggle with redness, acne, fragile or irritated skin. I thought this would work well in those summer months when your skin has a lot more sunshine on it, it would calm and soothe really well.

On the box it suggests to use on cleansed skin, in the morning and night, or first signs of irritation. I tried all the suggested ways, and I enjoyed using after I cleansed before I went to bed it felt like it really was calming my skin from the day of work being in the sun and in a room with air conditioning.

The price point is $44.99 for 30ml, as I said before a little goes a long way which means this could last me personally 6 months using 5 times a week or any times my skin felt extra irritated. I enjoy the luxury feel of the product having a glass bottle. I do know that Farmers and Trilogy have sales on their website and instore every so often so if you wanted to pick these up for a special deal I would wait for that time to stock up.

This is a great addition to the range, especially for those extremely sensitive girls, this would be a god send. I would purchase this again to have on hand for those sensitive skin moments that flare up.

Trilogy Very Gentle Calming Serum

I used the Very Gentle Calming Serum as part of the Trilogy Sensitive Range review. I've never used this type of serum before so I was really interested to see how it worked. I used it in the evening after cleansing and before moisturising. It is quite a loose cream and spreads really easy on the face and neck. There is no smell and it feels really gentle. After a couple of minutes my skin started to feel a bit tight so then I applied the moisturiser and that fixed my skin to feeling great again. The product is so gentle I used it on the sensitive eye area and I had no reaction to using it. I felt like I was giving my skin a real boost for bed time and it was a nice treat to use this product.

Tips: Make sure you moisturise afterwards.

Love this Serum

I have been trialling this serum for 3 weeks as part of the complete range and have thought long and hard about to review this product. I am 43 years old with oily skin, which I have always looked after well with quality products. I have really enjoyed using this product, however I don't have any issues regarding irritation or sensitivity, hence cannot comment on whether the product does what it says it should. It is however, a lovely serum, which soaks in easily into the skin. It feels calming and nourishing and on some days I have used it alone with the moisturiser and have felt hydrated all day. The packaging is lovely, as is the whole range, with frosted brown glass but the pump is quite stiff making it difficult to get a smooth dispense. (This could just be the bottle I had). Overall a lovely product, which I would recommend to friends to had problematic skin to try it.

Tips: Small amount goes a long way.

Tightens and Firms

I'm quite surprised by this product as at first I didn't like it. When I see a product that says serum I assume it has a more oil type formula to it, but this is more a creamy serum but with a slight oily texture to it. If anyone has used the Oxygen Serum, it has a similar consistency to that.

This product comes in a frosted brown glass bottle as the other products but with with a pump dispenser. Sadly I didn't like the pump itself, it was so hard to use as you had to push it down quite hard to try and get it to work and then when it did come out, it squirted out in all directions. I'm not sure if it was just mine but I think they may need to look into this design as it maybe a possible flaw.

It also has the same Maqui Berry, SyriCalm and Camelia as the Creamy Cleanser has but no distinct scent that I can pick out.

Instructions were both on the box and the product and easy to understand. When I applied the Serum, I found it to be quite thin and didn't need to use much at all as it spreads quite easily and if you squirt too much, it is just a waste. The more I massaged it into my skin, the tighter it became. I wasn't a huge fan of that feeling to start with as it felt tight and dry but it didn't look dry if that makes any sense. When I touched my skin after it had dried, it also didn't feel dry. Very strange sensation but I soon got used to it and started to look forward to that feeling as it told me it was working its magic.

My skin has been really good since using this and in conjunction with the other products, it seems to have improved my skin. My skin has calmed down with its redness, is more firm and hydrated and the blemishes I had before are nearly all gone. I've had compliments on my skin lately which is great when someone else notices.

Tips: There is no SPF in this product so you will need to add that step in too.

Another Favourite From The Trilogy Sensitive Range

I thought this would be like other serums on the market at the moment, but I was surprised in a great way at how much this is like a light lotion rather than an oily serum. The pump type applicator makes it easy and quick to use, no fingers in jars with this! The texture is that of a light lotion, and it is so easily absorbed into the skin, it is a pleasure to use. If you have combo skin, this is a lighter alternative than the mask or moisturiser in the range, and no oily T-Zone here! Also fantastic to use on the back of tired dry hands, quite the multi tasker! This serum has no anti ageing properties, but it feels so good to use, no SPF, and no scent, which is good when using product around the eye area.

Tips: Use this on the back of hands for a boost of moisture at night time, you will wake up with super smooth hands in the morning.
