Trilogy Very Gentle Restoring Oil Review

I have trialed the 'Very Gentle Restoring Oil' over the past three weeks. I have dry, sensitive, acne prone skin with a small amount of redness on 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, apricot and sea buckthorn.' I really like how on the box it shows that the product is certified by BioGro as an organic cosmetic, that is really important to backup that big statement.

The product comes in a 30ml amber glass bottle with a dropper to dispense the oil from. The oil is thin and slippery it has no fragrance to it which I find unpleasant from other facial oils. I like the use of the dropper for the oil as it means you can control how much oil you need. I use 3-4 drops (a little bit goes a long way with oils) each night on my face, neck and decolletage. I find I have to gently massage it into my skin and it absorbs within 10 or so minutes, because I have dehydrated dry skin, this works very well for me and I like the feeling I am left with soft and feeling moisturised. It soothes and hydrates all my dry patches of skin leaving it feeling soft.

I liked to use this after I had cleansed my skin and after I had applied the 'Very Gentle Calming Serum' I think this works well in the evening for my skin personally as it keeps it hydrated all night long, so I wake up with supple and soft skin.

The price point, $43.99 for 30ml, for a standard bottle of rosehip oil it is around the $26-35 mark, so it is definitely a bit more expensive if you compare it with that. Although I do feel this oil suits my skin better, as it is more thin and not so greasy and heavy like some other oils can be on my skin, which make my skin more prone to acne break outs. So I would purchase again but would wait until it was on special at a Farmers store or Trilogy's online website.

I would suggest this to anyone who feels other rosehip blended oils are too heavy for their skin, girls with sensitive and/or acne prone skin as the ingredients are specially tailored or as an evening nourishing face oil for those drier skinned people.

I have combination oily skin (which is also sensitive), and because of this i tend to stay away from using oils. In the past I have used trilogy's rose hip oil and found that it never absorbed into my skin and my skin remained dewy even if I only used one drop. However I have to say that I quite like using this oil.

As I've only been using this oil for three weeks, I can't comment on whether it has been restoring as it claims. But because this oil is so light it actually absorbs into my skin rather than sitting on top and not absorbing fully. My skin still feels dewy, as expected, but it doesn't feel sticky or wet.

I use this oil at night (as I saw comments on the forum saying that they use serum in morning and oil at night so I thought I would give it a go) followed by the moisturiser in this range. In the morning my skin feel berry hydrated and supple.

The bottle is similar to the rose hip oil bottles, dark glass to prevent sunlight and a dropper top. I use two drops for my face.

Overall I really like using this oil, it's the first facial oil that I have liked. It's been very gentle on my skin (although I've never reacted to any facial oils before). I would definitely recommend this oil to others.

I love a good serum, and this one is now right up there with my top favourites!! Its delicious - from the gorgeous packaging to the amazing quality of the oil...I feel so grateful to be reviewing this lovely oil! My skin is quite dry and gets irritated under stress or due to the weather. Some serums cause my skin to break out but the consistency of the product helped hydrate and nourish my skin and helped soothe any irritation. I use the serum under my moisturiser at night and under the mask, once a week. I honestly feel like my skin looks the best has in ages and my make up sits better on top of it.

I am so glad I got to trial this - it is now a new favourite (along with the Trilogy Sensitive serum). This is the first facial oil I have used that actually absorbs rapidly without leaving a greasy layer that makes my fringe oily! But that is not the only reason I love it: it's super gentle, leaving no irritation, and is calming for flushed, irritated skin, while really restoring winter-ravaged skin. The morning after using it my skin is lovely and soft and supple, and I have had no break outs with it. You only need a few drops to get maximum results - I can't recommend it enough!

This little bottle of golden goodness is my favourite of the Sensitive range. Smelling ever so slightly of sesame oil, it also contains macqui berry, apricot (kernel?) oil and sea buckthorn oil. These last two ingredients are great after sun exposure. I use this product after a serum at night to help counteract any weather related effects on my skin. In a beautiful frosted brown bottle with a dropper, you only need about three drops to provide good coverage over your face, neck and decolletage.

I'm a religious Skinfood Coc+Nut oil user but was keen to give this a go. I'm glad I did. This oil is thicker and has an odder smell than I am used to. It was a little off-putting but I persevered. Again, I'm glad I did.

Despite the thickness it was rapidly absorbed by skin and felt light on my face. The smell didn't last for too long, and while I still prefer the Skinfood oil smell, the extra 'goodness' in the Trilogy oil will see me make the switch.

The dark glass jar and the dropper are beautiful.

I also used this the way I do the Skinfood oil - multi-tasking and using it as cuticle oil, dry skin oil like on elbows and knees, and even mixed a little into my moisturising cream to save time. It is simple, effective, and as versatile as other beauty oils.

As Ive said with the whole range the packaging is top notch, and this with the eye dropper makes it so easy and stress free to use. The product doesn't come flying out of the dropper so it is easy to monitor how much product I am using. This soaks into my skin really fast, and is a perfect base for the rest of the products in the range. I love love love that it helps keep those fine lines at bay and protect my skin through the day, I have definitely been enjoying dewy glowy skin and I think this magical oil played a good role in that!!!!! I felt like this really delivered, and is a welcomed step in my routine every morning.

OMG I love this oil. I have used Rosehip and Argan oils in the past and although I like them, I didn't care for the scent. This oil is fragrance free and absorbs very quickly into the skin leaving it soft and smooth. I have 43 year old, very oily skin so am always careful about what extra hydration I add into my skincare regime. This oil will definitely be on my re-purchase list. The packaging of the whole range is lovely. This particular product comes in a brown frosted bottle with eye dropper applicator making it very easy to get just the right amount of product. I find it to be very soothing and hydrating and my skin is looking great!

I've tried the Very Gentle Restoring Oil as part of the Trilogy Sensitive Range review. All the products are amazing. I've never tried an oil before and I was a bit apprehensive with using it as I thought it would make my skin oily. Wrong! I used this in the morning after cleansing and used a few drops to massage into my face. It has a slight nutty fragrance. The oil absorbed quickly into my skin leaving it feeling really supple. Then I used the moisturiser. I think that the oil helps to keep my skin moisturised all day long. It is so gentle, I've even used it over my eyes. My sensitive skin has had no adverse effects. I would definitely try this product again
