I'm 54 and have had sensitive skin all of my life. Over the years I've stuck to using a day cream and serum I've found to be gentle and non irritating. Trying to find a cleanser or my word, a masque/intensive treatment has only led to inflammation and irritation.
The Trilogy Sensitive range has been a delight. I finally feel I'm experiencing a full skin care regime, and my skin has never looked so fresh and calm. The range is a beautiful addition to my vanity and considering how little product you need to use at a time, it'll be an economical regime to maintain.
I'll summarise the range here, and go into more detail in my individual product reviews.
Cleanser - this cleanser is a revelation. It's so rich and luxurious but gentle and non-stripping. It leaves my skin feeling moisturised and calmed from the day.
Moisturising Cream - so smooth and beautifully absorbed. It's light enough for day wear, but I found myself applying a thicker layer for an intensive overnight treatment, with no ill effects to my skin!
Hydro-mask - the product I most fear was lovely! My skin felt super hydrated for a few days after using this!
Eye cream - great little product, felt wonderfully light on my delicate eye area and I felt has improved the appearance of my undereyes.
Calming Serum - so, so nice!! I was a bit reluctant to switch from my usual serum because it took me so long to find one that worked, but this is amazing. It really does soothe and calm my skin while leaving it feeling supple.
Facial Oil - this was the only product of the range I didn't really enjoy using. For me it was just too thick and didn't absorb as well as other products. But my daughter who has dry skin loved it.
Overall - brilliant range!
Very excited to trial this skin care range, I am the queen of sensitive skin.This range is fantastic at delivering moisture, and not irritating in the slightest. The packaging is glass, the only plastic is on the lids and the pump bottles. Because these are glass they have a substantial weight, adding to the feel that this is more higher end than supermarket products. Easy to identify in the Trilogy range, we have the white stripe on the label, and these products look good next to the bed or in the bathroom, simple, yet substantial. A total of six items in this range, if you are needing anti ageing, this is not it, but for moisturising, calming and soothing from a skincare range, This .Is. It. I used the Very Gentle Eye Cream first, in a glass jar, this is a very light,not at all greasy, easily absorbed eye cream, with no scent and comes with a small plastic scoop to save on product usage. No SPF though. I love how this is not greasy. Next was the Very Gentle Calming Serum, I liked how it was more of a light lotion than a serum, pump applicator, and not oily like other serums on the market. Great also on the back of the hands. Performs better than other high end serums I have used before, delivers moisture really well. Again no SPF. The Very Gentle Hyrda-Mask was thick and creamy, it looks yellow, and is a super rich leave on mask, very good for extremely dry skin. No scent, and I found no need to moisturise after using this. The Very Gentle Moisturising cream is in jar form, it is calming and really hydrating, I find the texture a bit heavy for daily use, would be fantastic for mature dry skin though. Very Gentle Restoring Oil would have to be my least favourite from the range, unfortunately I found this to be like other oils on the market, I know it's an oil, but honestly, for me, oil sits on top of the skin, hardly absorbs, and I cannot like the greasiness of it all, in saying that, if you like using oils, this is for you, but I will pass. The Very Gentle Cleansing Cream was like the dark horse of the range, this is like a rinse off moisturiser, not a foamy or gel cleanser, my skin was not left tight after using this, and it removes my makeup well. Pump type applicator, and no scent. A really nice cleanser to use. The eye cream, cleanser and the calming serum are my favourites, the range was so good for my skin, and some of them I will continue to use. You will also need to use an SPF with this range.
Tips: Use the mask sparingly if you are prone to oily skin.
