Trilogy Very Gentle Hydra-Mask Review

I have quite dry skin with sensitive/cracking spots also, so I was very happy to get this mask as a gift with the Nudes 2 box. The pottle is very cute in sturdy brown glass with a screw top lid, it also comes with a small spoon/applicator.

The mask is an off white colour and looks kind of like shiny clay when in the pottle. The feel is closer to a gel texture which smooths really nicely over skin. Applying this mask is very nice as it smells sweet but not fake or overpowering. I'm finding my skin does absorb quite a lot of the mask after the 15 minutes, and I just wash off the excess with warm water and a facecloth. My face feels so fresh and smooth afterwards I know I'm getting tonnes of hydration!

The price tag is quite high but I would be very happy to buy again, as I've used it on 3 occasions so far and have barely made a dent.

Ooooh this mask is so decadent...like a slightly thinner body butter consistency and scent. I really enjoyed how soothing it is and how it leaves my skin feeling nourished and cared for. The packaging is simply delicious! I love that it is made of glass so if I want to, I can decant something else into it when its empty. My bathroom counter top looks so fancy now! I use this gorgeous mask once a week, after I have cleansed with the Very Gentle cleanser. For an extra delicious treat, I have been applying the oil underneath the mask...for a super hydration when my skin feels a bit tight or irritated. After letting the mask sit for approximately 20 minutes, I then compress off using tepid water. I try to apply a moisturising product quite soon after removal as I feel that it prevents the skin from drying out to much. My skin is always left hydrated and soothed. This product range is one of the best I have used and my skin looks and feels so good!

I got this to trial at the right time - when I had the flu, in the middle of winter, and my skin was chapped, dry, and just generally terrible. This has definitely helped my skin heal more rapidly than I think it otherwise would have (based on past experience). I've used it a several times a week, after cleansing, while having an evening bath. I have really slathered it on, especially around my poor chapped nose and lips, and between my eyebrows. There's no scent, and it does seem to have a calming effect on my skin. However, I'm not thrilled about it being in a pottle, so that every time I open it there is oxidation. Also, there are other deeply hydrating masks for a lot less money that I think do just as good a job (if not even better) that come in tubes and contain more product. Having said that, it did what it said it would do and helped my skin, and for those that need help with dry skin and want to support a good (NZ) brand, then this is worth trying.

This product comes in a gorgeous frosted brown glass pot, 60ml sized and with a wee spatula. With the calming ingredients of macqui berry, Syricalm and sweet almond oil, this cream is lemon in colour and of quite a thick consistency. It left my skin feeling plump and moisturised with no signs of irritation. I would recommend for anyone who has sensitive skin and also for people who don't. If you like exfoliating, applying a thick layer of this AFTER exfoliating would restore any moisture lost and would be really soothing.

This product comes in a 60ml amber glass pottle with a little spatula to get the product out. I used this spatula twice & found it much easier to just use a very clean finger to scoop out a small amount for my face/ neck.

The cream is very thick & instructions are to put a thick layer on and leave it to soak in for 10-15 minutes before removing the excess. Update: I did this for 3 weeks, but found it a bit thick for my liking. I cut down to a thinner layer, and this is a much better option for my skin. I massage it in & don't need to tissue much/ any off. Afterwards my skin is smooth & does feel very hydrated. I use 1-2 times a week, at night after cleansing and putting on eye cream, which seems to work well.

As with the other products in this range, full of antioxidants & essential fatty acids in the maqui berry oil & sweet almond. Not my favourite of the range, but definitely worth a try for the nourishing effect, if your budget stretches this far. Based on using 1-2 times per week – this would probably last say 5 -6 months.

I've been using this once a week before bed (three times now) and every time without fail it plumpens up my skin the next morning. When I get up my face feels so soft and hydrated and feels like it's more bouncy.

The application is easy with a mini spatula. I use about a round dollop the size of a 10cent coin. The jar tells you to apply generously but I tend to go for a mediumly thick, 1-2mm thick layer all over my face. I leave out circles for my nose, mouth and eyes (so like a sheet mask). I leave it for anywhere between 10-30min depending how long it takes for me to get ready for bed. Then I wipe off any excess with a cotton pad and pat/massage my face to really help absorbing as much as I can. It is a little sticky afterwards, so I'd recommend changing your pillowcase relative regularly if you're using this or any type of sleeping pack.

This is very gentle on sensitive skin, just like all the other products in this line. There's no noticeable scent unless you sniff really deep then it's like an unscented, natural ointment kind of smell. Using it once a week I think this will be able to last me three, maybe four months. So about $3.50ish each use. This isn't too bad, considering the sheet masks that I use for hydration are around $2 each. And the sleeping packs I like are around the same price as well.

With sensitive skin (including eczema around my eyes and neck, product intolerances and allergies), but also suffering from acne-prone skin, I was wary about giving this a whirl.

Turned out, I need not have worried. The Trilogy Very Gentle Hydra-Mask is gentle, effective and soothing. It is easy to apply and is surprisingly readily-absorbed by your skin. It was surprised by just how little I had to wash off at the end. It did leave my skin feeling a little heavy and clogged, but not enough to put me off.

It did not sting or burn any of my ultra-sensitive spots, nor did it irritate my skin overall. In fact, the eczema on my neck vanished and the bits around my eye were soothed, calmed and the redness disappeared.

While it is on the expensive side, I would definitely buy this again in the event of another eczema flare-up as a nice skin reset. I wouldn't use it any more than say once a month as it is quite rich, but it is a lovely way to get your skin back to a clean slate.

Well now!!!!!!!! This has been a match made in heaven for my skin, I find with a lot of hydrating masks or even those sheet masks, when I wipe or wash them off my skin feels dry and really tight and 9 times out of 10 red, inflamed and angry for the evening. And I think that is why I love this mask so much because it is a cream not a gel it hydrates my skin big time without the angry after affects, Ive been putting this on my face every other day and I have felt this has aided along with the rest of the range in helping my skin look so healthy and glowy. Its a really comfortable formula that goes on nice and thick and then I just wipe it off after 10 minutes, my skin hasn't been angry or irritated at all, I was having a flair up of my facial dermatitis the first time i used this and managed to get some on the open skin, and it did sting a whole lot, so I definitely would follow the directions for this tho and keep it well away from broken skin. Overall a really nice product

This beautiful mask is heaven in a jar. Now while you think that might be a tad over the top, for me it just is.

The reason I love this mask is because everytime I use it, my skin just looks better, more hydrated, more smooth and more firm.

The jar itself is made of frosted brown gloss with pretty peach labels that are easy to read, simple yet sophisticated. It clearly states the instructions on the label which is great because having to keep instruction pamphlets from each product is not that easy to remember to do especially when my bathroom is full of other products. Plus hubby throws them out in frustration ha ha ha.

The mask comes with a wee little black spatula for scooping out the product but personally I prefer to use my fingers as my hands are always clean beforehand and it is only me using the mask so need to worry about the hygiene aspect.

I apply a nice amount, not too much though as a little bit goes a long way and glides over your face quite nicely. There is no stinging, or itching or any of those annoying reactions when leaving it on, in fact I actually can't feel it and sometimes forget I even have it on my face as it feels quite light.

It says to leave on for about 10-15 minutes and after that time I grab a hot wash cloth and pat it off my skin as it keeps my pores open and allows the product to continue to work its magic. If I am using it in the day, I apply the Calming Serum followed by the Moisturising Cream. If using it at night, I apply the Restoring Oil then followed by the Moisturising Cream.

Although the price tag is a bit on the high side, I would most definitely purchase it as this will last you for ages. Definitely recommend this if you do experience sensitive skin.

This is the heavy hitter of the Trilogy Sensitive range, and promises deep hydration, and if you have stressed out dry skin this is the product for you. This comes in a glass jar, following the simplistic theme of the Trilogy packaging. On first opening I was a bit taken aback, as the mask looks a lot like a thick creamy mayonnaise, don't be fooled though, this mask packs a serious punch of moisture. At 60ml it is a generous size for a mask, and the jar makes for easy application. For my combination skin, maybe a little too much moisture, I found that my skin could only take so much of this product in, it felt relaxing having the mask on, I got no irritation and my skin really did feel calmed and moisturised, however I found it to be too rich on my t-zone, my suggestion would be to use this on the driest areas of your face if you have combo skin, to avoid over moisturising. There is no detectable scent, and my skin felt smooth to the touch after using this, you do need to rinse off the excess after using this, I also notice I didn't need to moisturise like I usually do with other masks after their application. A fantastic once-a-week-treatment for me, however I will use sparingly.
