Trilogy Vital Moisturising Cream Review

This moisturiser was good, but not great and I can't quite put my finger on why. I think it was a combination of things - I prefer pump dispensers on beauty products so you don't have to fiddle around with taking lids off and putting them back on when you have greasy hands. I also found the botanical smell to be a little strong for my liking. It did fade fairly quickly but I just prefer less of a smell. I also found it to be moisturising, but not quite enough for my skin, which is on the mature side now. So all these things combined left me feeling like I liked the product, but not enough to repurchase. Sorry trilogy, I really love you as a brand but this moisturiser wasn't for me.

I was NOT a fan of this when I first started.... the scent put me off. However, I persevered and the longer I used it, the more I loved the product! I have a weird combination skin going on at the moment, with oily patches and really dry patches, and this seemed to work well on both, I've had a few compliments that my skin started looking better. I found it to be quite light and not greasy to put on and will buy it again!

I got this in a trilogy pack and was excited to try it. The smell is gorgeous! The cream is thick and luxurious but I just found it left my skin feeling sticky no matter how long I left it and no matter how much I applied. I have this problem with a lot of moisturisers unfortunately. It is a beautiful product just not for me as I need something lighter.

Another great product made by TRILOGY! it gave a nice nourishing, hydrating smooth feeling on my skin. Ive been using for about a month now and it has helped smoothen out lines and tighten skin, love the product and its quality

Nice mosturizer that I got in my beauty box. I always use it every night. I really feel like this mosturizer help my skin to be nice and smooth. It smells like roses which I don't care too much for. I don't dislike it either.

I was very happy to see Trilogy Vital Moisturising Cream in the March BRBB. Another wonderful natural NZ Made product that is not tested on animals.

I like the no fuss packaging - white and maroon box with grey writing. The box is lined with a picture as well (you will have to buy the product to see) :-) There are good instructions on both the boxed packaging as well as the tube of moisturiser. There is also a large list of Ingredients on the box as well as a Best Before date. Trilogy Vital Moisturising Cream comes in a pearl white tube with grey writing and the distinctive maroon. The silver metal lid is a twist top and has the maroon colouring inside it.

I prefer to use Trilogy Vital Moisturising Cream at night. It is easy to control the amount you need when squeezing the tube and you honestly only need the smallest amount. It is a reasonably thick consistency and quite rich. It does take a moment to absorb in to my face. My skin has stayed hydrated, soft to touch and smoother in appearance. The fragrance is floral but softens as you apply to your skin.

I would love to try more Trilogy products.

I have oily sensitive skin and I was gutted when I reacted to this product. I received it in the March BRBB and unfortunately 3 days into the trial I noticed my skin breaking out and by day 4 the dreaded redness appeared which turned into a borderline rash sensitive to touch. Don't panic this is just how my skin reacts to products it can't cope with it doesn't mean it'll happen to you.

Some may say I'm silly for trying the product knowing that I reacted badly to the Trilogy cleanser but just because you can't use one item in a brand doesn't mean you can't use another. Alas I can't use this one either.

I enjoyed how it felt on my skin almost as soft and emollient as Cetaphil and just as thick. I personally wouldn't recommend this for oily skinned beauties because even though it's amazingly hydrating my face felt more oily than usual to the point where I could swipe the bridge of my nose and voila oil!

It took 3-4 days to get my skin back to normal - no makeup, light cleansing, skipped the toner and light moisturiser. If I didn't react to it I would use this as a night cream because there's no harm in having an extra bit of oil production at night right? :-)

Cards on the table, I'm not the biggest fan of Trilogy products. I find them too rich and heavy for my combination skin. Having said that, I was pleasantly surprised by this. It applied lighter than other Trilogy moisturisers I've tried (although I was only using this as a night cream) and it didn't make me break out. It was easy to rub in and didn't leave me feeling greasy or dehydrated. I love the fact Trilogy uses rosehip oil as a base to their products and they are an NZ brand.

My verdict? Still a little heavy for my skin, but a great product for those who need plenty of hydration.

I was pleased to receive this in my beauty box as I needed a new moisturizer. I really like the light texture of this cream and how it absorbs easily. I also like the light fragrance, and the fact it uses natural ingredients is a bonus.
