Trilogy Vital Moisturising Cream Review

I squeaked a bit with excitement when I opened my amazing Beauty Review March Beauty Box and saw this Trilogy tube nestled within. I've long wanted to try Trilogy face products but haven't been able to justify the pricetag just in case they don't work for me.

This is the Vital Moisturising Cream, which came in a tasteful 50ml tube with a gorgeous brushed silver lid, and burgundy and black writing on a creamy background with a hint of pink to it. It looks lush and expensive just from the packaging alone!

The cream itself is thick and white, with a (very typical of Trilogy) botanical scent that is not overpowering , but pleasant and relaxing.

The cream spreads well - a pea sized amount will do your whole face - and is very rich and nourishing. Because of this, it can take a while to settle in, and so I choose to use it as a night cream and use a lighter one in the mornings.

I wake now to luscious, hydrated skin that feels plumped up and full of moisture, but not at all greasy. I haven't broken out once since I began using this.

My 'would I buy this again' is tricky here. It's too expensive for me, realistically, even though it's lovely. Duty Free, perhaps - we'll see how we go. I'd definitely consider it as it is seriously good.

I loved receiving this in my beauty box because I have always heard good things about Trilogy but cant afford it, and it lived up to its reputation! It smells so fresh and nourishing and it soaks into skin very quickly, leaving your skin feeling soft and lovely. Highly recommended and it definately showed me that it is worth paying more for quality

I wouldn't normally purchase Trilogy products because they are out of my price range, but I was lucky enough to get this in my Beauty Box! I have used it a few times now, and while I do like it and think it's a pretty good moisturiser, I'm not overly sold about using it on my face. The smell is nice, but so overpowering. Personally, I prefer using less fragrant products on my face, and would prefer this one as for use on my hands.

I liked the consistency though, as it was nice and light, and not too greasy.

Thanks to the latest beauty box I have this wee gem on my trial list. I have to start by saying that unfortunately the smell is too overpowering for me and as a result I'm in the process of trying to re-home it. I've used it twice and o do love the feel of it on my skin, the consistency is great, it's easy to apply and seems fantastic in every other way, I just wish it smelled different or was far more subtle. I applied it again sparingly on my upper face and hands and it is all I can smell. A great product but not right for me.

I am always dubious when products say "suitable for all skin types" - I have incredibly oily skin so only ever stick to products that aren't going to make me break out. I used this one first at night time after my usual cleansing routine and when I woke up in the morning my skin was incredibly clear and soft and I didn't have the usual crows feet from tiredness so I was impressed, I used it again in my morning routine and found that while I didn't break out, my face went incredibly oily by the afternoon. My go to Oasis moisturiser doesn't allow this to happen so I found that this was a great moisturiser for night time but not great for the day.

Had a nice smell and the lemongrass scent was nice to drift off to sleep to.

Love, love, love this product after cleansing me face (ofcourse) i used this and i am totally in love with it. It has a nice smooth feeling and leaves my skin feeling awesome for my makeup and during the night it feels hydrated after using this.

My skin drank this up happily. It left my dry skin feeling much more hydrated and was completely non greasy. Honestly one of the best moisturizers I have tried (and I feel like I have tried them all)

The downside was the smell. The rose smell is over powering and I could still smell it for almost an hour after application, sadly I am not a fan or rose scent normally so this makes me unlikely to buy again.

I was fortunate enough to receive a gift pack of Trilogy products which included the moisturiser in the 60ml jar. Although I’m not their targeted audience with this product (I am in my early 20s and have acne prone skin), this moisturiser surpassed my expectations. It definitely lives up to its claim of being a versatile moisturiser. The cream was a nice texture – light enough to apply in the mornings before makeup, but also hydrating enough to work as a night cream. It didn't make my breakouts flair up, and it sunk in quickly to provide an awesome matte base, so it was perfect in winter and summer. It had a scent, but it was pleasant and not too strong (I find the scent of the rosehip oil a bit off putting, but this smelt a lot nicer).

While it is a little out of my price range at the moment, I would be happy to buy this product in the future, especially as wrinkles and skin aging becomes a more prominent concern. I only needed to use a little bit at a time, and since it came in a jar I was able to get every little bit out. However, I’d probably go for the SPF15 version, especially if I was buying it coming into the summer months.

Really lovely moisturiser, feels quite rich but not greasy which I love and also has a nice floral scent.

I have combo skin and whilst using this I've noticed my dry patches have disappeared but it also has not made my skin any oilier which is great. I love using it at night but also works nicely as a base for makeup as well.

A bit out of my price range but if I could afford to continue purchasing I definitely would.

This moisturiser is nice and light. It would be a perfect one for summer for people who have normal skin. I find that Trilogy's Balancing moisturiser works best for my skin but this is definitely next on the list
