Trilogy Very Gentle Calming Serum Review

I suffer from facial dermatitis that flares up when I least wish it to, it can get really angry and raw that is usually worse if I'm wearing foundation to try to disguise it. So I was super excited to give this one a go, after the FIRST application it noticeably reduced the inflammation and by the third day it was almost completely all healed (some flare ups last weeks!!!!!) I also have dermatitis Invetween my fingers from wearing my wedding rings, so I tried some on my hands for a few days and it calmed it down hugely, enough to be able to pop my rings on and not be embarrassed by my hands for a night out!! Super impressed with this product I will be adding this to my collection permanently for sure. The only thing about this is the pump on my bottle (not sure if I just got the dud) is so incredibly tight every time I pump it it flys in all directions haha but I just twist off the lid to get into it.

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.

When I first unpacked this product I put it aside as a part of the range I probably wouldn't use past the trial and it seemed like an unnecessary extra. Also the word serum usually means greasy and heavy and not compatible with my skin. However I'm so pleased I tried it as it was fabulous and really did soothe and calm like it stated. I didn't have and bouts of rosacea during the trial but did have a bit of irritation and a couple of days of too much sun. It was very easy to apply, the pump bottle is a great idea and makes it simple to use. Immediately after application my skin felt so much better. I'm so glad to have found this serum and will certainly continue to use it

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.

This serum is very good for anyone with sensitive skin like myself. I have the occasional flare ups on my face of dry itchy redness, and have found this serum to be very soothing and moisturizing. Doesn't irritate my skin and sinks in very quickly. The pump bottle is handy, but I always have trouble getting the last bit of product out with these types of containers. Lovely natural ingredients like Calendula, Chamomile and Green Tea. I would recommend this serum as part of the Trilogy Very Gentle range. Pricing is higher than some but can be purchased on special.

I am always a little undecided when it comes to serums. I feel that most appear to do nothing to my skin. But this little bottle of serum, I feel may change my mind. In a gorgeous frosted brown glass bottle with a pump dispenser, this white lotion like fluid is full of natural and calming ingredients. Macqui berry, calendula and Syricalm. It claims to instantly calm your skin, personally, I didn't feel that this claim lived up to expectations. However, my skin didn't flare up as bad as it usually does when i was using this product. The bottle with its pump dispenser is key in delivering just the right amount of unscented product into your hands. I used this before moisturising in the morning and before oiling at night. It was certainly a step in what became an evening ritual, and I do feel that it has made a difference in how my skin feels, if not looks. With time, who knows?

This serum is great but not amazing. I'm finding it hard to distinguish it from other serums I have used. I found that it hydrated my skin well (I usually apply the moisturiser in this range on top of the serum). I do think that the redness on my cheeks have reduced. It could be due to the fact that there is nothing in this serum that irritates my skin making it perfect for sensitive skin.

I've only been using this serum for three weeks so I think with more time I may see better results and notice a difference in my skin. I tend to use a moisturiser with this serum. If I don't I find that my skin feels a bit tight.

This serum comes in a small bottle with s pump. The bottle is smaller than I expected so you will use it up faster. It also comes with a stopper the pump, so if you take it travelling or to the gym if wont spill in your bag.

For the price of this product I don't think I would purchase it again as some of my cheaper serums give me the same results. However I will continue to use the serum and see if I can notice a difference in my skin.

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 had a major problem with the pump of this product, I found it extremely stiff and I wasn’t able to control the amount of product that came out- no matter how hard I tried it just went all the way down. As a little too much came out, I resorted to unscrewing the bottle and getting the product out that way. I didn’t really mind this, as I liked the product so much! The texture is really smooth and glides on like a dream. It spreads really easily into a nice thin layer and soaks in super quickly! I have been using this morning and night for the past 3 weeks and I have noticed improvements in my skin. I have noticed it has become less red and inflamed looking and it has cleared up since I started using this product! It is very gentle and I did not react at all, no redness, itchiness or flare ups, quit the opposite! I found the serum to be particularly calming. There wasn’t anything I didn’t like about this product (apart from the packaging issue mentioned above), I think it works really well with my skin and it’s become a must-have in my skin care routine. It is one of my favourites in this range! I would definitely repurchase it!

I have never came across a calming serum before. I was so excited to try this. It sounds amazing. I like the glass bottle it comes in with the pump top. My pump is a bit stiff which made the product hard to control how much was coming out, but other than that the bottle is fine.

I have been using this for the past 3 weeks and it is simply amazing! I honestly can not believe how effective this is! Any signs of redness or irritation goes away since this is applied. So fantastic! I am completely sold on this serem! I’m not joking when I say love at first sight with this liquid gold.

It retails for $44.99 for 30mls. I hope it lasts me a while, I will repurchase any way just because I really would love a backup of this.

I received this to trial (thanks BR!), and after doing a wee patch test I eagerly jumped into the full regime. I usually use vitamin C serum day and night, but for fair trial I decided to use this as the first step after washing my face.

It comes in a sturdy little pump bottle which deposits the perfect amount for my entire face and a little bit of my neck. The serum has a light creamy texture, comparable to a thin moisturising cream. It absorbs into my skin with shocking speed. I like to dot it all over my face then tap it in with my fingers like a face massage. Within minutes my skin has absorbed this and feels dry. Incredible! As much as I love my vitamin C serum, I hate having to wait 10min for it to absorb, so this definitely wins here!

I think this is a good 'first step' kind of product. It preps your face for the moisturiser/creams you want to layer on top of it, and it feels weightless after it's dried. I have to be very careful with the first thing I put on my face since there's no barrier underneath to prevent any allergic reactions or sensitivity I get. Luckily this is very true to its word and very gentle on sensitive skin. It feels almost calming and I don't have to worry about putting this on areas where I have acne or where my skin's throwing a fit for no reason. This is another thing I like more than my vitamin C serum, because that stuff stings if you put it on broken/acne skin!

The 'active ingredients' in this are more for moisturising and calming. Bnd I'm currently trying to amp up that collagen production before the wrinkles take over. So currently I'm trying vitamin c-> this serum-> moisturisers etc. And I think one days when I've more irritation or acne I'll use just this. As it's gentler and more forgiving on the skin.
