I got this as a 30mL sample when I purchased the rosehip oil. Therefore, I can't really comment on the packaging but from what I've seen in store it's a wonderfully high-end like packaging in a glass pottle with a screw on lid. The sample came in a squeeze tube which I liked as you could control the amount you got out but it wasn't so good for getting out the last of the product.
I've never used a specific night cream before but this one is creamy white with a very strong rose scent. Even after using the whole 30mL sample, I still feel that the scent is a bit overpowering.
It is so thick and the smallest bit goes a long way. It's easy to smooth over the face and spreads easily. It doesn't leave a greasy feeling on the skin, rather, it sinks right in and is so moisturising and hydrating. It leaves the skin with a smooth, almost satin like feel. When I wake up in the mornings, my skin is hydrated but not oily - which usually happens. The only downsides of this product are the smell and price for me. I do love it though and it makes you feel so pampered.
I'd never used a proper night cream until this product - I was just using whatever I had on the shelf. But this is lovely, and I really enjoy it!
A common theme with Trilogy is that their products are always thick, creamy and white, and they all smell like a rose garden. Personally I have no problem with it, but some might find it a bit over bearing. I did get sick of the smell, but I didn't find it headache inducing.
This stuff is thick. You think you need the smallest amount you can get - you'll need less! I rub it gently all over my face and down my neck, and if I'm feeling fancy I'll put whatever is left on my elbows. You seriously don't need a lot of this stuff.
I thought it absorbed quite fast into my skin, and it left my face nice and soft, and even softer when I woke up! I couldn't believe it. This stuff really goes a long way, as the thick cream almost seems to melt into your face and make it go further. It's amazing. But again, with Trilogy products, it's the price that stops me from fully committing to buying again.
