Trilogy Very Gentle Calming Serum Review

I have been trialling this serum for 3 weeks as part of the complete range and have thought long and hard about to review this product. I am 43 years old with oily skin, which I have always looked after well with quality products. I have really enjoyed using this product, however I don't have any issues regarding irritation or sensitivity, hence cannot comment on whether the product does what it says it should. It is however, a lovely serum, which soaks in easily into the skin. It feels calming and nourishing and on some days I have used it alone with the moisturiser and have felt hydrated all day. The packaging is lovely, as is the whole range, with frosted brown glass but the pump is quite stiff making it difficult to get a smooth dispense. (This could just be the bottle I had). Overall a lovely product, which I would recommend to friends to had problematic skin to try it.

I used the Very Gentle Calming Serum as part of the Trilogy Sensitive Range review. I've never used this type of serum before so I was really interested to see how it worked. I used it in the evening after cleansing and before moisturising. It is quite a loose cream and spreads really easy on the face and neck. There is no smell and it feels really gentle. After a couple of minutes my skin started to feel a bit tight so then I applied the moisturiser and that fixed my skin to feeling great again. The product is so gentle I used it on the sensitive eye area and I had no reaction to using it. I felt like I was giving my skin a real boost for bed time and it was a nice treat to use this product.

I trialed the 'Very Gentle Calming Serum' over the past three weeks I have dry, sensitive, acne prone and a small amount of redness of my cheeks and nose. The packaging of this product is in a white cardboard box which is recyclable, with a light apricot/pink colour on the top of the box. It states on the box 'Sensitive' and lists the active ingredients 'maqui berry, SyriCalm and calendula.' I really like how on the box it shows that the product is certified by BioGro as a natural cosmetic, that is really important to backup that big statement.

The product itself comes in a 30ml glass amber bottle with a small push pump bottle. The texture is a white liquid that easily soaks into my skin when I rub it in. I found the pump to bit quite 'squirty' even after using it every day it didn't really often, so you can't control how much product with ease. Its either the whole pump press or you get nothing, although a little goes a long way, the amount that squirted out isnt excess as I used it on my face, neck and decolletage. Once it is on my skin instantly it feels refreshed and a slight cooling effect, my redness on my cheeks and nose decreases, and once the liquid has sunk it, my skin is left feeling extremely soft. I think this product would work wonders for people who have trouble with the tightness feeling of skin, or those who struggle with redness, acne, fragile or irritated skin. I thought this would work well in those summer months when your skin has a lot more sunshine on it, it would calm and soothe really well.

On the box it suggests to use on cleansed skin, in the morning and night, or first signs of irritation. I tried all the suggested ways, and I enjoyed using after I cleansed before I went to bed it felt like it really was calming my skin from the day of work being in the sun and in a room with air conditioning.

The price point is $44.99 for 30ml, as I said before a little goes a long way which means this could last me personally 6 months using 5 times a week or any times my skin felt extra irritated. I enjoy the luxury feel of the product having a glass bottle. I do know that Farmers and Trilogy have sales on their website and instore every so often so if you wanted to pick these up for a special deal I would wait for that time to stock up.

This is a great addition to the range, especially for those extremely sensitive girls, this would be a god send. I would purchase this again to have on hand for those sensitive skin moments that flare up.

Lovely packaging. Easy to use pump bottle. Apply under moisturizer if you need some soothing help with your skin. I actually found my skin tightening after application. When I have a skin flareup I would reach for this serum and apply twice a day.

This serum is great but not amazing. I'm finding it hard to distinguish it from other serums I have used. I found that it hydrated my skin well (I usually apply the moisturiser in this range on top of the serum). I do think that the redness on my cheeks have reduced. It could be due to the fact that there is nothing in this serum that irritates my skin making it perfect for sensitive skin.

I've only been using this serum for three weeks so I think with more time I may see better results and notice a difference in my skin. I tend to use a moisturiser with this serum. If I don't I find that my skin feels a bit tight.

This serum comes in a small bottle with s pump. The bottle is smaller than I expected so you will use it up faster. It also comes with a stopper the pump, so if you take it travelling or to the gym if wont spill in your bag.

For the price of this product I don't think I would purchase it again as some of my cheaper serums give me the same results. However I will continue to use the serum and see if I can notice a difference in my skin.

This serum is very good for anyone with sensitive skin like myself. I have the occasional flare ups on my face of dry itchy redness, and have found this serum to be very soothing and moisturizing. Doesn't irritate my skin and sinks in very quickly. The pump bottle is handy, but I always have trouble getting the last bit of product out with these types of containers. Lovely natural ingredients like Calendula, Chamomile and Green Tea. I would recommend this serum as part of the Trilogy Very Gentle range. Pricing is higher than some but can be purchased on special.

I was given this trilogy serum as a gift, I have red sensitive skin that at certain times is worse than others. I have been pleasantly surprised at the reduced redness of my skin!! Have been using this serum for about 3 weeks morning and night with another moisturiser over top (also have dry skin and alone this serum isn’t quite enough moisture). Nice when I feel I don’t have quite so much redness to conceal with make up - which is my biggest tester with any product using less make up. I will definitely be purchasing this product again, top of my list for caring for skin at present. And it is also natural which I’m all for too.

Well what can I say, the beautiful luxurious packaging once again including an easy pump top, top quality ingredients and it is a product that does what it says it does. This is fantastic to use after cleansing or on any irritated areas of skin. I love to take 1-2 pumps and gently pat it all over my face, neck and decolletage areas, as I often find I get a lot of redness on my upper chest. This Very Gentle Calming Serum is soothing, cooling and calming as it states. Instantly comforting and reducing redness and irritation. I just love it, along with the other products in this range I feel like it's a real treat for my skin. Some of the key ingredients are maqui berry, SyriCalm and calendula along with chamomile and green tea. It smells similar to the rest of the Very Gentle range, a light barely noticeable, natural smell, a little like calendula. It says "SOS soothing and hydrating rescue - immediate peace and comfort for highly reactive skin" on the bottle and this is so true. That is really the best way to describe it, SOS for your skin! It's a nice product to have if you suffer eczema or very sensitive skin and you sometimes can't use products, you could just use this alone as a gentle moisturiser. It comes in a 30ml bottle and as with the other products a little goes a long way so it's good value and I am adding this to my skincare regime. It's a must have for me now!
