Trilogy Ultra Hydrating Face Cream

I have been a clairns girl for many years but just recently became concerned about all the chemicals I am applying to my skin. I tried this product with a little skepticism but really like it. My skin feels smooth and nourished. I will continue to use this product in the future.

Well it certainly delivers on the richness and hydration. It's a HEAVY moisturiser not for the faint hearted. I think it is important to keep in mind that it's a cream not a lotion so by definition it's heavier and thicker than what I'm used to, but initially it did take me aback slightly.

It is super hydrating which is great for my dry bits. However, I am cursed with combination skin and I don't feel this product is suited to me because of this. It's simply too much for my oily areas and I've had a few breakouts while using it. I also think that maybe, although I am starting to show my age a tad, this product is a little "old" for me in my late 20s.

My favourite thing about this product is the divine smell. It's seriously yummy. Being a Trilogy product, it utilises natural ingredients, is animal friendly and a local company, yay!

I think I would consider repurchasing in a few years time were it not for one cardinal sin, the lack of SPF. I'm a huge fan of SPF and it's the first thing I look for in my day cream. I've been using this as a night cream but I think I prefer to use a dedicated night product if I'm going to use solely at night.

I missed out on the beauty box that this came in (I was so kicking myself at trying to be good that month!) Anyway an absolutely lovely br member sent me her one to try Out! Seriously, the kindness of some members on this site astounds me. We could be here all day if I blabbed on about that so back to this Product!

This comes in a simple white squeeze tube with a screw cap. I like that this is more hygienic by not needing fingers to be dipped in. I'd prefer if the cap clipped open rather than screwed but that's just pure laziness on my part. At least the screw top means it won't come undone if you travel with it. The also has 75mls of product, most of my other creams are 30mls so even though this product is expensive, when you break it down to a price per ml, it's really reasonable.

This cream is incredibly thick but it does blend to cover a large area. I like to pile on skin creams but I really don't need a huge amount to cover my face, neck and chest. My only dislike really is the scent, it's incredibly strong. Very herbal and lavender scented. The first few times I used it, it was off putting, I'm used to it now after using it for about 6 weeks but it's still not my fave. In saying that, it's full of good ingredients like manuka honey, evening primrose, rosehip oil plus of course lavender so I can forgive the Smell!

This says you can use for day or night but as it has no sunscreen, I use it at night. It doesn't sink in straight away but really feels like it's heavily hydrating my skin. I have super dry skin. If you have anything other than dry, I would imagine you would hate the almost greasy feel of this. I live for that feeling lol, my skin just drinks it up. In the morning my skin feels soft and smooth with no dryness at all. If you wear makeup, I wouldn't recommend using this during the day. I think it would just be too slippery to be under any kind of base.

I will definitely be purchasing this in the future, I have few others at home I need to use first but I can see myself missing this one when it's finished.

I've been struggling recently with my skin being a pain and drier than usual. I switched up my daily moisturiser and started using this gorgeous product. It is a thick cream but it absorbs really nicely into the skin & best of all doesn't leave an oily mess, despite being quite rich. My skin feels comfortable & doesn't appear dehydrated after using this. It makes makeup application a complete breeze as well. I can't sing it's praises enough. It's been my go-to every morning for the past week and I'm so glad I had it on hand! :) Highly recommend if you have very dry skin like myself.

Love the Trilogy range, their range of products have always done my skin well in improving. I found that this particular Face cream was the best for my sensitive dry skin. It applied a nice layer of coverage without the rubbing. It instantly felt relieved and soothing. Love the product

Bought this to try as i use the claryfying Gel cleanser which is fab apart from smell and fact i have a few dry patches hence me buying this moisturiser to try andcresolve that issue. Trilogy products in general are over priced compared to others i use. The packaging is good quality i like the stainless steel lid on the tube looks classy! Only need a small amount of moisturiser as it goes a long way. It does leave a greasy film but i need it as the Gel has left me with dry patches on my chin for some reason but love the clarifying gel. I apply the moisturiser morning and night on face and neck but notice the smell of this plus other Trilogy products is horrible they all have that distinct musty/earthy smell which is as shame really. Will see how i go as to whether i repurchase.
