The serum comes luxuriously packaged in a frosted brown glass bottle with a black pump, with the classic Trilogy labelling. The serum has that classic aromatherapy like Trilogy scent, it smells strongly like rose and other herbs and plants. I found the scent particularly strong in this product, so if you're someone who dislikes strong scents or the smell of roses/rosewater, this isn't for you. The serum is only 30ml which I found rather small given the high price tag of this. The serum is white in colour and very thin and runny in texture. I found the pump unfortunately always dispensed too much product, so I would always end up with way too much product for my face and decolletage, which was wasteful. The product is quite runny and takes a long time to absorb into the skin, so I assume it'd be super hydrating. Unfortunately this wasn't the case. Once this dries, it leaves my skin feeling a bit tacky, but actually drier, and not rejuvenated or more radiant at all. This doesn't seem to hydrate my skin at all, and a standard affordable facial moisturiser makes more of a noticeable improvement to the appearance of my skin than this does! I've used this daily for about a month and my skin always feels dried out yet tacky after using this and I've noticed no visual improvement to my skin, in addition to it feeling physically worse.I have combination skin and I just didn't feel this product did anything at all for me, so I would not use it again. I normally enjoy Trilogy products but this just didn't do anything it promised to do for me.

Reviews
I'm a big fan of Trilogy products, the fact that they use so many natural ingredients in their products is a big plus for me. This Serum includes ingredients such as Aloe Vera, Rosehip Oil, Cranberry seed Oil, Sunflower seed oil & so many others. This product is made in NZ, cruelty free and certified by BioGro.
The product is in a 30ml frosted glass bottle with a pumper. I like that the pumper also has a stopper which is handy for travelling. The bottle also comes packaged in a box. Trilogy claims that this product smoothes and deeply nourishes skin, refreshes and helps boost skin radiance for a glowing complexion. The product also has the typical scent of Trilogy products, which is a natural scent but not too strong, I really like the scent - it's not too full on in your face and doesn't linger once other products have been put on over the top.
I used this product morning and evening after cleansing and toning as directed. I have dry skin and I found that the serum absorbed pretty quickly - to me a little too quick. To me it slightly hydrated my skin but I still felt my skin needed more hydration. The product did smooth my skin and give it a soft feeling. Unfortunately I didn't find that this gave my skin a glowing complexion or give it that radiance I wanted.
A big frustration of using this product was the pumper, if you pull it out you'll find that the tube is quite thin (obviously to prevent fast usage) but I found it so difficult to pump out the last quarter of the product, I had to unscrew the lid to be able to scrape it out using the tube and then eventually try to shake/tap it out onto my hand - it became a hassle every time I used it.
Whilst I feel this is a nice product, I feel it didn't help my dry skin or wow me - this may be suited to someone with more of a normal/combination skintype.
I have enjoyed using this product. It comes out as something similar to a thin white moisturiser. I find it easy to apply (not as dribbly as oil serums) and it dries on my skin quickly. I always use it under a moisturiser, as it does not seem to moisturise my skin.
The pump is easy to use and it doesn't have an overpowering scent (something I can't cope with!).
I have yet to be able to say if it makes a difference to my skin, but in winter all help with my skin is appreciated, so I'll keep applying!
Tips: Follow it up with a moisturiser.
I got a few tester bottles of this from Trilogy when they first launched this product. I'm generally a big fan of Trilogy products, it's a great NZ brand, however, this product didn't wow me.
When I put the serum on my skin, it feels very greasy and takes a few minutes to fully absorb into the skin. Once it has absorbed, I find that my skin feels a bit tacky. Despite this, the serum does do a good job of giving my skin a moisture boost so it is nice to use under another moisturiser if my skin is feeling dry.
I haven't noticed any difference in the radiance of my skin. I feel like this serum is nothing more than an ok moisturiser and I'll stick more to the oil-type serums, like pure rosehip oil.
I won't be buying this one, but I will keep buying other Trilogy products.
I love Trilogy products and had high hopes for this to do wonderful things, but was disappointed.
As the last review mention, getting the last out of the bottle is near on impossible, meaning you feel you like aren't getting your moneys worth as you can see product still in your "empty" bottle.
While there is nothing wrong with the serum, it didn't improve my skin in anyway. I just felt like I was adding a "plain" moisturiser to my face with no added benefit. I was really disappointed as most Triogy products are amazing!
I really love this serum. The texture is light and has a nice smell. It is easy to use and my skin absorbs it pretty fast. Only small amount is needed so will last for a long time. I have already seen improvement to the brightness and feel of my skin in a short time. Will buy again.
Tips: You will need to pump it twice for each use so small amount is enough. Also will get better result if to use after Triology Rosehip oil.
I scored this in a goody bag at an event but have just gone out and bought a new bottle. It is kind of expensive but it makes my skin feel smooth and calm. I'm not sure my skin is more radiant but it feels better, well hydrated without using very heavy products that make me break out. I also find it helps the eczema that I get when I am stressed and/or careless about what I eat. While it is slightly expensive, a little goes a long way so it lasts for ages - my first bottle lasted nearly 6 months being used every evening.
Tips: Keep an eye out at Farmers and Unichem who quite often have special offers on Trilogy products.
