Trilogy Vital Moisturising Cream Review

I was really excited to see a Trilogy product in the latest BRBB. I have been interested in this brand for quite some time. They seem to be making strides around the world with their products, and as a kiwi brand I thought I should probably try some more of it. I have tried their Rosehip Oil and wasn't particularly impressed. I had nearly finished my Essano Night Moisturiser so this was next to be tried!

I like the packaging. A simple white tube that has a tiny bit of iridescence to it which looks nice. The lid is really nice, covered in metal. When you take it off it is dark red on the inside which I like. Somehow Trilogy do dark red in a classy way rather than Moisture Mists old lady dark red.

I love the scent of this cream, although I do love roses. It has a lovely orange flower scent to it as well which stops it smelling too old. The cream is quite thick, but it smooths over the skin quite nicely. You do only need a small amount of it though as it gets thinner as your skin warms the product. The first night I used this I used far too much and I did end up having a break-out from too much richness on the skin. Since then I have been using it a bit more sparingly (which is great for the expensive price) and while I haven't noticed any major improvements to my skin I do like it, and it hasn't broken me out at all. Will I purchase this again, probably not. I do not feel like this expensive cream does anything special that a cheaper cream wouldn't. I will be back to the Essano Night Cream once this is finished. But I must say I was impressed enough I will be trying other Trilogy products when I have the opportunity.

I was pleasantly surprised with this moisturiser! I have extremely dry and sensitive skin so am always a little apprehensive when trying new products... But this product is great! It smells lovely, glides on easily, a little goes a long way, doesn't feel heavy on the face, no sensitive reaction, and best of all, my dry skin is moisturised! Plus, its a natural moisturiser!

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

WOW, WOW, WOW

So this delightful tube of goodness i received in my BR beauty box.

Let me start with its amazing!! my skin looks even has a nice glow and soft oh my goodness soft!!

The scent is strong to begin with but softens quickly, the scent is amazing in the morning after a quick cleanse to aid with the horrid waking up scenario a pleasent orange zing brightens the start to your day.

The formula has a great consistency not too oily spreads over your face easily and the best part you only need such a little amount, Trilogy vital absorbs into your skin quicky without any left over residue.

I was starting to suffer from quite a few lines under my eyes and i kid you not after 3 weeks of using this cream the are miraculously dissapearing!! my skin feels hydrated and well nourished.

I have been using the 50ml tube with no problems of clooging in the end.

A rather expensive product $ 49.99 for 50 ml but to be honest its worth every penny!!!!

Basic packaging yet effective.

I totally reccomend this product!!

I first tried this as a miniature in the travel collection and most recently from the Beauty Review Beauty Box. It is a wonderfully thick, indulgent moisturiser. I do find it very rich for my blemish prone skin but if I only apply it to around my eyes, forehead or neck area (areas I have fine lines appearing) then I don't have a problem. I also only apply it at night rather than as a day cream as I personally feel it is too heavy and by morning my skin feels like an oil slick.

The scent is very natural smelling, I'd say very rose/floral. It's strong but not sickly strong (and not a fan of floral scents normally). The very thick cream squeezes out of the tube easily and spreads well, it feels a bit greasy to start but soon absorbs into the skin leaving it feeling soft and moisturized.

I saw an improvement in skin plumpness around my dehydrated eye area fine lines are vanishing before my eyes (the deeper ones not as fast but still an improvement). My frown lines are diminished but still visible.

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 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? :-)

lovely to use, absorbs quickly leaving skin smooth and fresh, lovely rose scent, would recommend to all.
