When we announced our Trilogy trial team late last year, the site was buzzing with excitement. Not only were we sending NZ's Number 1 Natural Skin Care brand* out for review - but we were looking for members with those uber-tricky skin types. Oily and Combination.
If you don’t have Oily or Combo skin, then you just don’t know. The struggle is real - it is all too often, mission impossible to find a product that works to balance excess oil and shine without stripping and drying out your skin. Even more impossible is to find a range of products that work on oily-combo skin, whilst also targeting other skin issues, like fine lines, redness and even balancing oil production itself.
Well. The great NZ public hath reported back, their reviews are in, and their ratings have been counted. Trilogy have knocked it out of the park with their collection of products designed for Oily-Combination skin, resulting in three Top Rated badges. The highest beauty accolade in NZ.
Trilogy Hemphip™ Balancing Oil
4.6/5 - Click here to read the reviews!
“This is a game changer. The mix of hemphip, olive and salicylic acid is a dream team to apply after cleansing, the mix of ingredients help to hydrate and lock in moisture, while mildly exfoliating.” - BR Member: mish_beauty
The standout product of this regime has to be the Hemphip Balancing Oil, a certified organic hemp and rosehip botanical blend. It is the perfect solution to balance complexions; with a hydrating formula that is lightweight and easily absorbed. It works to smooth dry patches and the appearance of fine lines, while reducing redness, oil production and shine.
Hemphip™’s specialist trademarked formulation includes antioxidant-rich hemp seed oil, Trilogy’s signature restorative rosehip oil, hydrating grape, jojoba and olive oils, and salicylic acid which helps clarify and reduce the likelihood of blemishes.
Now if you're worried that adding oil to oily skin is going to make the whole oily skin thing worse - don't be! Using the right pure plant oils for combination and oily skin is the perfect solution. This pure plant oil is similar in structure to the skin sebum, therefore easily absorbed and helps balance the skin's production of sebum, resulting in the skin becoming less oily and shiny!
“The other thing I love about this new Trilogy balancing oil is the BHA salicylic acid that actually helps to promote cell turnover and exfoliation. I'm a huge fan of chemical exfoliants and I've never seen a BHA added to an oil before- love it!” - BR member: ljasminel
Trilogy Clarifying Cleansing Gel
4.8/5 - Click here to read the reviews!
"Immediately after using this product my skin felt amazingly soft and fresh. From the very first use I really did notice a difference in the overall condition of my skin, with my face feeling smoother and looking clearer." - BR member: gail_cook
Trilogy Clarifying Cleansing Gel has been formulated especially for oily and combination skin types. It is a non-drying rebalancing wash that cleans, clarifies and invigorates the skin. Formulated with the mildly astringent witch hazel to tone and refresh, salicylic acid from willow bark to lightly exfoliate dull and rough looking skin, and omega-rich rosehip oil to nourish and soften skin.
"This feels instantly clarifying - as I used it on my oil prone chin I could feel the change in skin texture immediately, its really cleansing and refreshing." - BR member: MissHale
Trilogy Mattifying Moisturising Lotion
4.6/5 - Click here to read the reviews!
"I think is perfect for the summer months when my skin can easily feel greasy and congested. The risk with a lighter moisturiser is that it doesn't moisturise enough and your skin gets dry but I haven't found that at all with this one. It's the perfect balance of lightness to hydration for my skin." - BR Member: Alice72
Trilogy Mattifying Moisturising Lotion is a light hydration lotion that helps balance water and oil content in the skin. With a mattifying action, this vegan-friendly lotion inspires the senses with arefreshing mint and melon fragrance, and also makes for perfect make up prep, leaving skin feelingsoft, plump and smooth.
"This mattifying moisturiser does what it says! It keeps skin moisturised but keeps oil away. It doesn't leave skin shiny either which I loved and is a lovely base for makeup." - BR Member: HurleyH

I love the look of the moisturiser. I love most things from Trilogy but have found their moisturisers too heavy. This is definitely on my “need to try” list .
