Trilogy Very Gentle Restoring Oil Review

For me this was my least favourite product of the range.

Coming in a beautiful dropper bottle (Trilogy really win award for simple yet classy packaging) I was a bit miffed at first why I needed two oils (there's a Calming Serum in the range, spoiler...it's fabulous).

So this is like your daily oil in lieu of say your rosehip oil. I used it religiously twice daily for two weeks, but I found it too thick and it just didn't absorb. I needed two drops to use on my face but even that minimal amount just didn't absorb, 20 minutes later I could still move product around my face, I ended up blotting the excess with a tissue.

However this doesn't mean I think its a dud product, far from it, once blotted my skin felt very supple and again there were no irritations or reactions - so a great product for us with sensitive skin.

I passed this along to my daughter who has very dry skin, and she can't speak highly enough of it.

So in short, just not the Trilogy product for me, I guess at some point there had to be one, but it definitely will not put me off using Trilogy.

I have combination oily skin (which is also sensitive), and because of this i tend to stay away from using oils. In the past I have used trilogy's rose hip oil and found that it never absorbed into my skin and my skin remained dewy even if I only used one drop. However I have to say that I quite like using this oil.

As I've only been using this oil for three weeks, I can't comment on whether it has been restoring as it claims. But because this oil is so light it actually absorbs into my skin rather than sitting on top and not absorbing fully. My skin still feels dewy, as expected, but it doesn't feel sticky or wet.

I use this oil at night (as I saw comments on the forum saying that they use serum in morning and oil at night so I thought I would give it a go) followed by the moisturiser in this range. In the morning my skin feel berry hydrated and supple.

The bottle is similar to the rose hip oil bottles, dark glass to prevent sunlight and a dropper top. I use two drops for my face.

Overall I really like using this oil, it's the first facial oil that I have liked. It's been very gentle on my skin (although I've never reacted to any facial oils before). I would definitely recommend this oil to others.

I was extremely excited to trial this, as I have very sensitive skin and always have a hard time finding products that my skin agrees with! The packaging is beautiful and classy, I really like the pale pink and white colour theme, and the frosted glass packaging gives it such a luxurious feel, weight and look. There wasn’t really much smell to the product, which I didn’t particularly mind, it just smelt faintly kind of clean and fresh. I have been using this at night, over my moisturizer, as I find this works best for me (I tried it under my moisturizer but I found it stopped the moisturizer from soaking in). This oil has a thinner consistency and isn’t sticky, like other facial oils I have used in the past, which I like, as it doesn’t feel gluggy or heavy on my face. It doesn’t fully soak in, however doesn’t leave my skin feeling as oily or with a lot of residue, as it has with other oils. I would usually put this on after I have my shower, and by the time I go to bed, most of it has soaked in. The dropper is really handy and is a good way or distributing the product, as you can control how many droplets come out and not much product is needed- I use probably about 2 drops for my whole face. Overall, I find this is a great restoring product to use at night! For me, it would be too oily to use during the day, as it can take a while to absorb into the skin (as most oils do). While I personally don’t find it an essential part of my skin care routine, it does add moisture and I will continue to use it every now and then at night.

I've tried a few face oils now and have concluded they are just not for me. I gave this one a try as part of the trial and in the hope it would be different. I have no problem with oils and they are great for some people however they are just too heavy and oily for me. This oil was slightly better, it felt lovely to apply and had a pleasant subtle scent. But it just didn't absorb enough and kinda just sat on the surface of my skin looking greasy. I think this would be a great oil for people who like using them or who have super dry skin

I was selected to trial this Trilogy Restoring Oil as part of the sensitive skincare range. I have been hesitant about long term use of oils in the past as the can make my skin feel greasy.

The oil comes in a 30ml glass bottle and the rubber lid contains a dropper which makes it easy to dispense the right amount out. I noticed that the oil is the only product in the range that doesn’t contain the SyriCalm complex. Instead it has sea buckthorn and apricot oil which has anti-inflammatory and skin-conditioning properties.

To use I simple put two drops onto my finger tips and gently massage it around my entire face. I have been using this at night before going to bed, I then put my Trilogy moisturiser on top. It’s surprisingly non-greasy and lightweight for an oil. It has a very natural pleasant scent. Once it has absorbed into my skin I can still use a moisturiser afterwards without making my skin an oily mess.

This oil has been the prefect solution for my skin’s needs and has given me the confidents to reuse oil as part of my nightly skincare regime. The main benefit I believe I have been seeing from using this oil is how much stronger my skin appears on my cheeks. It appears to repairing and strengthening the blood capillaries as my cheeks don’t appear as red. I also wake up with lovely radiant glow the next day.

I love organic natural oils. I have always religiously switched between rosehip oil and chia seed oil. I really like this restoring oil. It contains maqui berry, apricot and sea buckthorn. It is very gentle on my skin, its thick but very blendable. A small amount goes a long way. I like the glass bottle and the eye dropper makes it easy to control the amount of oil you would like.

I have used this for the past 3 weeks and my skin has been so healthy, soft and smooth and fine lines and wrinkles seem to be improving. I really like using this restoration oil in the evening and when I wake up in the morning my face is so soft. There are so many great benefits of this oil and I will be repurchasing when I run out.

It retails for $43.99 for 30mls. A little goes a long way and I believe it will last for quite a while.

Lovely presentation. Has a dropper to measure out your drops. Have never used a product like this and was pleasantly surprised. I find 2 drops is enough to massage into my entire face and neck. A little goes a long way. Afterwards skin feels soft and smooth. I personally would only use this once a week as a treat due to the cost involved $43.99. Think I would prefer a plastic bottle than glass.

Like the whole range the pink and white and brown glass packaging is gorgeous and classy. The oil comes in a small bottle with a little dropper for ease of application.

I always thought a oil would make my skin extra oily. However I was pleasantly surprised. I used this oil after cleansing my skin at night prior to using the moisturiser. It absorbed quickly and did not leave my feeling greasy at all. It has a mild yet insignificant fragrance. My skin has become very sensitive since being pregnant however I had no adverse effects from using this oil.

I have trialed the 'Very Gentle Restoring Oil' over the past three weeks. I have dry, sensitive, acne prone skin with a small amount of redness on my cheeks and nose. The packaging of this product is in a white cardboard box which is recyclable, with a light apricot/pink colour on the top of the box. It states on the box 'Sensitive' and lists the active ingredients 'maqui berry, apricot and sea buckthorn.' I really like how on the box it shows that the product is certified by BioGro as an organic cosmetic, that is really important to backup that big statement.

The product comes in a 30ml amber glass bottle with a dropper to dispense the oil from. The oil is thin and slippery it has no fragrance to it which I find unpleasant from other facial oils. I like the use of the dropper for the oil as it means you can control how much oil you need. I use 3-4 drops (a little bit goes a long way with oils) each night on my face, neck and decolletage. I find I have to gently massage it into my skin and it absorbs within 10 or so minutes, because I have dehydrated dry skin, this works very well for me and I like the feeling I am left with soft and feeling moisturised. It soothes and hydrates all my dry patches of skin leaving it feeling soft.

I liked to use this after I had cleansed my skin and after I had applied the 'Very Gentle Calming Serum' I think this works well in the evening for my skin personally as it keeps it hydrated all night long, so I wake up with supple and soft skin.

The price point, $43.99 for 30ml, for a standard bottle of rosehip oil it is around the $26-35 mark, so it is definitely a bit more expensive if you compare it with that. Although I do feel this oil suits my skin better, as it is more thin and not so greasy and heavy like some other oils can be on my skin, which make my skin more prone to acne break outs. So I would purchase again but would wait until it was on special at a Farmers store or Trilogy's online website.

I would suggest this to anyone who feels other rosehip blended oils are too heavy for their skin, girls with sensitive and/or acne prone skin as the ingredients are specially tailored or as an evening nourishing face oil for those drier skinned people.

I'm simply torn by this product for one reason - it's scent. It is slightly different to the other products in the sensitive range which I imagine is due to the fact that has an oil base formula instead of a creamy one.

Let's talk positive - it has great packaging and labelling with clear instructions. It comes with an easy to use dropper which allows you to distribute the product with as much or as little as you need. Great money saver. Its great for the environment because it is not plastic but glass which can be recycled. Awesome.

A little goes a long way and I found the oil consistency great as it is not oily or greasy, it blends in well as long as you don't apply too much. My makeup goes on so much more smoothly too.

Results were great too, my skin seems clearer, more firm and the pores seem to have shrunk. Overall a great oil until you get to the scent, this is where the negative part comes in for me unfortunately.

Don't get me wrong, the scent is not to the point where you want to pour the whole bottle down the drain or you feel like you want to gag. I've used some nasty oils before so its not like that, but it does have a distinct smell which kind of takes away the joy in using it. You can get past the smell as you get used to it and you know its good for your skin. If it hadn't have been for the scent I would have given it the full 5 stars.

Also the price is a tad on the high side, probably one of the most expensive oils I have come across. But it really is a good oil and I have seen some really good results and I'm excited to see what my skin will look like after it is finished.
