Trilogy Cream Cleanser Reviews

Review of Trilogy Cream Cleanser
By Kelly B

Packaging: Trilogy Cream Cleanser comes in a recyclable amber glass pump action bottle. The dispenser is very convenient and can easily be operated with one hand. Tinted glass is great for product stability due to protecting it from the light. Glass is always my preferred material for my cosmetics as plastic materials can leach into the product. However as this Trilogy glass bottle is quite heavy and very smooth I feel it could be easily dropped with wet hands in the bathroom. The glass is very thick and certainly toughened so I don’t think there is much risk of it breaking if dropped. My concern is the weight as I would rather have a plastic bottle fall on my foot than this any day! So for me plastic is a bit safer in the bathroom.

Application: The texture of the Cream Cleanser is very rich and creamy. It glides onto skin in a very light fluid and non greasy way. A little goes a long way and only one pump from the dispenser is needed. The scent is very faintly floral but with the overriding aroma being rosehip oil. I wasn’t keen on the smell as I don’t think rosehip oil smells particularly nice, but the fragrance is very natural and subtle.

My skin is quite sensitive and the Cleanser felt so soothing and heavenly to massage in. No irritation at all. Plus due to a bad cold and blowing my nose the skin around my nose was very sore and damaged. It was very raw and cracked and Trilogy Cream Cleanser did not sting at all it only felt soothing. I thought this was amazing. For this reason I feel it would be an ideal cleanser for painful skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis.

To get the most out of the healing and nourishing ingredients each application I spent a few minutes gentle massaging the Cream Cleanser into my skin. Plus if I used it in the shower I would leave it on my face for 5 minutes to let the nourishing oils work on my face like a mask.

Trilogy Cream Cleanser can be applied to the eyes with no stinging at all. I really massaged it into my eye lashes to remove waterproof mascara and eyeliner and there was not even the slightest irritation or stinging. My eyes are so sensitive so I thought this was impressive!

I recommend removing Trilogy Cream Cleanser with a warm damp muslin cloth (or flannel) using a gentle circular action. This serves to gently exfoliate skin removing dead skin cells and adds to the healthy glow you get from the rich moisturising ingredients.




Ingredients: Trilogy Cream Cleanser is packed with soothing and nourishing ingredients. Organic Rosehip oil, due its high levels of essential fatty acids and high vitamin content is immensely hydrating and healing, reduces redness and heals broken capillaries. Evening Primrose oil with its high levels of GLA is excellent for damaged and dry skin, providing deep moisture. Almond oil and Jojoba oils further hydrate and soothe irritated skin. Carrot oil being rich in Beta-carotene is a powerful anti-oxidant, heals scarring and reduces wrinkles. Aloe vera provides extra soothing and calming qualities whilst also providing toning, healing, and anti-aging properties. Geranium oil tones and reduces redness and wrinkles, Lavender oil heals, and Frankinscence oil is anti-aging, healing, and hydrating.

All these wonderful natural ingredients are free from harmful chemicals, parabens, silicones, harsh detergents and surfactants, or PEGs and are used in most Trilogy products.

All ingredients are non GMO derived. All Natural colours and fragrances. Trilogy are against animal testing.

Results: I absolutely love this Cream Cleanser. It cleanses my sensitive (and often dry) skin so gently and soothingly yet so effectively. The oils are so creamy and non greasy, my skin drinks them in but feels supple yet light and refreshed with a dewy luminescent glow.

Trilogy cleanser makes light work of heavy makeup, even waterproof mascara and eyeliner.

I have tried many natural cleansers and Trilogy Cream Cleanser is my favourite as it removes makeup brilliantly whilst also providing a soothing nourishing treat to my face. Highly recommended!
