Trilogy Very Gentle Cleansing Cream Review

This cleanser is exactly what it says it is, Very gentle. It's great for removing light makeup and doesn't strip your skin dry. 3 stars are only because I prefer foaming face cleanser/washes which is a personal preference. This cleanser is perfect for dry winter months and leaves the skin feeling quite soft. I wouldn't recommend this to remove heavy make up as the name suggests it is quite gentle and wouldn't be able to remove everything properly, like mascara and heavy eyeliner. You would need to use your makeup remover for that. However this is perfect for people with dry skin looking for a good cleanser without stripping off the oil. It has a very light pleasant smell which does not linger. A very small amount is required which will make the 200 ml pack size last quite a while. Price wise I do feel it is quite pricey and personally I wouldn't be buying this again only because I prefer foamy cleansers.

I like the simplistic packaging of this cleanser, and the pump action is easy to use, however you wouldn't want to drop the bottle because it is glass... Other cleansers I have used always made my skin tight after use, so I was careful about using this one. Two pumps are all it took for me to Adore this cleanser! It's like a moisturiser for your face that you apply in the shower and rinse off, too easy! I found this not to later into bubbles, like gel cleansers do, and my face was soft to the touch after using this. Gone was tight moisture stripped skin that I had with other cleansers, and hello soft smooth cleansed skin. I love how this cleanser does what it claimed it would, and having no scent is a good advantage too, this is a great new addition to my skincare range, I really suggest you try this, you won't be disappointed.

I'm somewhere in the middle with this cleansing cream - it is really gentle, which is fine first thing in the morning, but I don't find it sufficient for end-of-the-day skin. It's just not cleansing enough for adequately removing make up (or even my BB cream). I know this, having used a cleansing towelette a few times after using the cleansing cream - even after massaging it in for a couple of minutes and rinsing, when I then used a cleansing wipe over my face, there were still traces of BB cream and other grime on the wipe. Having said that, for morning skin that has only had serum, oil, or moisturiser on it the night before, this is a nice gentle cleanser that won't be too harsh or irritate skin. It just freshens the face up for applying the day's skincare and make up. So if you're a minimal makeup wearer, or just want a cleansing cream for mornings specifically (or have such sensitive skin that it can't cope with other cleansers, then this would suit you.

I found this a lovely cleanser – just the right consistency for my mature (slightly over 50) dry skin & easily removes all makeup and grime, though I’m not a heavy makeup user. It’s very soothing and cooling, fragrance free and left my skin feeling like it could breathe. There’s a very light aroma of the ingredients – maqui berry, calendula & avocado & almond oils. Full of antioxidants, and essential fatty acids Omega 6 & 9. No adverse reaction to this product at all.

The amber glass pump is very convenient & easy to use, though quite heavy, so be careful to keep on a stable surface. I used twice a day, massaging onto my damp face, washing off with a facecloth with warm water & gentle pat dry before adding the other products.

One of my top 3 products in this range. I estimate with my current usage rate (2 pumps per cleanse) that this will last four months.

Another awesome addition to the Trilogy Very Gentle range. I really like the packaging, the colour of the labels are a gorgeous salmon colour. The fact that the cleanser is in a glass pump bottles always makes me think of a quality product but also, its reusable! I will use it when make my own hand soap so I adore that! It is a lovely white, thick consistency. It is safe to use around the eye area and cleanses all of my make up off! Its non-rritating and prepares my skin for the next step. I use the cleanser twice a day and compress off with tepid water and a facial cloth.

I'm super picky when it comes to face cleansers, and I tend to stay well away from cream cleansers. For the simple reason that they don't feel powerful enough. On days when I'm wearing very light makeup I can't be bothered with makeup remover wipes so I rely on my cleanser(s) to do the job for me. Cream cleansers often don't leave that ultra clean feeling afterwards. So bear in mind that I'm already somewhat biased against cream cleansers.

This comes in a very luxurious feeling pump bottle. One pump is the perfect amount, although if your face isn't too dirty half a pump would be sufficient. It has the texture of a body lotion and feels very creamy. In fact, it feels like I'm washing my face with a lotion instead of something soapy. Surprisingly, it does clean off bb cream/primer/sunscreen etc. But it isn't enough to get rid of any eye makeup or heavy brow products, but that's the trade off I guess for gentleness. And boy is this gentle. It's not harsh at all and leaves my face feeling moisturised even before I start on the skincare.

There's no smell, like the other products in this range. And my sensitive skin welcomes it with open arms. Although I personally still prefer my foaming cleansers, I have to agree that if you're ever wanting just a gentle cleanse or if you have skin that's extremely sensitive to harsh scrubs/water based cleansers, this would be perfect.

I'm not normally a fan of cream cleansers. I never feel like they really clean, but I was surprised by this Trilogy offering.

A little bit goes quite a long way and it feels light and lovely on your skin. I was worried that the extra time to wash it off with a flannel would annoy me, but I found the flannel helped make me feel like it was working. Something about the roughness of the flannel and the transition from the sensitive exfoliation St Ives cleanser I normally use.

It definitely helped soften my skin and make it appear fresh and smooth. It was also very effective at removing make up, just like it said it would.

The packaging is gorgeous - I love the look of the dark glass pump bottle on the vanity. The darkness of it and the pump makes me feel confident it is not attracting contamination and will last a long time without getting affected by oxygenation.

This is a gorgeous product in very luxe looking packaging. A generous size 200ml, pump dispensing, frosted brown glass bottle. The product itself is white and unscented and the bottle dispenses the perfect amount of cleanser with one pump. Enough to cleanse face, neck and decolletage. The natural ingredients of macqui berry, Syricalm and camellia do not irritate my skin at all and this is a big thing for me. I wear foundation, blush, mascara and lipstick during the day, and usually double cleanse. I still needed to double cleanse with this product, but I'm ok with that. I would recommend this product to anyone that has sensitive skin and feel that even oily skin gals will respond favourably with this product. It doesn't add any oil to your skin, but it certainly doesn't strip it either.
