Trilogy Hemphip™ Balancing Oil

I wasn't sure about this Balancing Oil but boy was it great and definitely a product I will look to keep using. A little goes a long way, it leaves your face feeling nourished and I noticed my few dry patches on my face are now gone after using it for a week, along with my Décolletage skin feeling smoother. I really liked how it absorbs well into the skin and you don't have to wait long prior to applying your moisturizer and it doesn't hinder your moisturizer from absorbing into the skin also. The only thing that I didn't like about the oil was working out the best way to put the drops on my hand in order to spread over my face .. it may have gotten a bit messy a time or two lol.

I ws delighted to trial this new oil from Trilogy, it arrived in a small glass brown bottle, with glass dropper lid, which releases just enough oil without going crazy, this bottle is and its dropper are reusable. The oil had a nice scent to it, is lightweight and doesn't feel heavy when applied, its like a moisture boost overnight, my sensitive skin welcomed the added boost, and redness is slowly starting to fade, where dry spots namely in my T zone are now a thing of the past.

I love this oil. It has such a beautiful natural smell, goes on beautifully and absorbs to leave your skin feeling delicious.

I used this at night because having oily to combination skin I just couldn't get my head around putting oil on my face for the day (I'm sure it would have been fine). It felt so luxurious to put this on my skin after cleaning it and the smell was light enough to not be overpowering when I was trying to go to sleep (my biggest bugbear with most night creams). When I wake up my skin feels nourished but not oily.

Unfortunately I wasn't a fan of this oil. It has an interesting smell with it but I found it really didn't absorb into my skin at all. It literally coated my skin making it feel incredibly oily all day. I tried to use it for a week but couldn't stand how it made my skin feel. It didn't make my skin look super shiny but just made it feel super slimey unfortunately. It may work brilliantly for other people but its a no for me.

The oil comes in an amber glass bottle with a dropper lid. It contains five oils - hemp seed, rosehip, grape, jojoba & olive. Salicylic acid is included to exfoliate & smooth the skin. The idea is to use after cleansing, massaging 2-3 drops onto face, neck & décolletage to nourish, rebalance & hydrate. The first night I used this I squeezed too hard on the dropper & applied too much & I felt like I had landed in a vat of chip shop oil. However after I wiped some off & massaged it in, it absorbed quite well. I therefore didn’t put the lotion on top & went to bed with a shiny face! Once I had figured out that two small drops were enough, I continued to use it morning & night & applied the lotion afterwards. I was afraid it would be too oily for day time wear especially with the moisturising lotion on top but it wasn’t. As mentioned - it absorbs really well. I will actually use it as a night mask (by applying too much as stated earlier) now & again as I liked the effect. The only downside (a small one) is that it has a fairly strong smell (lemony) so I avoided using too much on my neck & décolletage in the morning in case it interfered with my perfume, but at night I slapped it on! I left it a little while before applying the moisturising lotion to allow it to be fully absorbed.

As someone who has had oily skin for many years, I never wanted to add more oil to my skin, but 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. 2-3 drops is perfect for my face and neck and I find that the oil soaks in nice and quickly. The 20ml glass bottle with dropper is very practical. Love this!

This bottle is so cute! It made me feel a bit fancy and special using it as you can tell immediately just from the bottle that it is a quality product. From the glass bottle to the shaped dropper, you can tell that thought and consideration went into the design.

I must admit, I was skeptical about using a facial oil. I have never used one that I’ve liked. I find that they usually leave your skin looking and feeling greasy and shiny, but boy was I wrong about this one! You need very little of this product, I used about 3 drops. And from the moment I started massaging into my skin, it felt super soft and supple.

It did not leave an oily residue on my skin, but rather absorbs leaving a soft and luxurious feel. And the natural fragrance of the ingredients is divine!

This product is quite unique. It is light and easily absorbed, like a drink for skin. It is fragrance free however has a green type fragrance which is pleasant from the Hemp oil and Rosemary oil. Skin feels restored and balanced after application, there is no oily or greasy feeling as it quickly penetrates the skins surface. Skin feels instantly soothed and hydrated and looks plump and healthy. The applicator dropper let's you control easily the amount to apply and the glass packaging gives a luxurious appeal as well as renewable and recyclable. This product is filled with great natural ingredients that really stack up. I look forward to applying it after cleansing. Great product.

I love using an oil on my face in the evenings and this one comes out tops in my opinion. Firstly it smells divine with its lemon myrtle fragrance coming through. Secondly, as you only need to use 2 or 3 drops from its dropper, it is economical as the 20ml bottle that it comes in would last a fair while. It retails at $28 per bottle. It leaves your skin feeling very nourished and as it claims, it doesn't leave an oily residue and absorbs into the skin quickly.

This I just adore!

Packaging is your traditional facial oil dropper bottle in amber glass.

Smells very strongly of lemongrass which I dislike but the product is too good not to add to your collection.

I add around 4 drops and rub my hands together and then pat into the skin after my moisturiser, oils absorb into creams better than the other way around.

It does give off a tingle but that’s because of the salicylic acid.

My skin looks so much clearer and healthy after using the range.

The facial oil really makes my skin glow! Not oily just fresh and glowy.

This is my favourite skincare brand now!

Thank you BR for the wonderful opportunity
