This product not only breaks me out but makes my face feel sticky and exasperates blackheads! I returned it after a week .. it caused quite a few clogged pores too.

This is my absolute go-to moisturiser. Not only is it free of harsh chemicals being an organic product, but it really does stick to its promise of keeping skin feeling fresh and hydrated all day long.
I have acne prone skin which is also dehydrated around the chin and cheeks. Until now I have struggled to find a moisturiser which not only hydrates my skin for up to 15 hours at a time (I work very long days), but one that also is gentle enough not to irritate my already-sensitive skin.

Despite the fairly hefty price tag, I do think this moisturiser is well worth it. Before I used to use Clarins hydra quench which, although good, is nowhere near as hydrating and comfortable as this moisturiser. The product is also contained in a very handy glass pump version which is ideal for travel as well as considerably more hygienic than a jar. Massive thumbs up to trilogy for this one!

This is a wonderful moisturiser! Like many other reviewers I was first impressed by the beautiful ingredients of this cream, and I couldn't wait to try it. And I was surprised to find just how well it performs. I use it as a night cream and it moisurises really well, and disappears into my skin within 10 mins or so, leaving my sometimes dry zones feeling smooth and soothed. I like the wholesome fragrance too. The best thing though is waking up in the morning with such healthy, glowing skin!

I could only give it 4 lippies because this cream hasn't seemed to have made a difference to the lines I'm trying to minimize... Also, I'm rather sure that it will be a slightly too rich cream for my dry combination skin in summer :-( But just about Perfect for winter though!

Honestly, this moisturiser doesn't feel the best, it doesn't sink in straight away and I do need to blot after an hour or so sometimes. But honestly, since I've been using this my skin looks like it's glowing.

This product has a nice smell, it's all natural and it doesn't break me out. My skin looks so smooth and refined and totally moisturised. After twenty minutes I don't feel it on my skin, it's just not like drug store moisturisers which dry on your skin straight away, but that's okay because it's still the best moisturiser I've ever used.

The same procedure as with every other organic moisturizer. I was thrilled by the incredibly good ingredients and none of them would be comedogenic on my skin, so I decided to give it a try.
My skin is combination, acne-prone and dehydrated.
I bought it together with the cream cleanser and the rosehip oil as a trial size.
It gave me the weirdest feeling on my skin. My skin felt like it couldnīt breathe and I had constantly the feeling, my skin was too warm and sweating although you couldnīt see anything.
I really feared, it would give me a major skin breakdown like Weleda once did. But thankfully, that didnīt happen.
Generally , it left me with an uncomfortable feeling and I donīt want to use this again. Glad, I bought only a trial size.
I recommend it instead of the bad reaction I had, because the ingredients are over-the-top good! If your skin feels comfortable with organic skincare, then this is a must for you. The lovely thing about this moisturizer is the fact, that itīs one of the few which donīt have comedogenic oils or other ingredients according to what Iīve been researching. You always find soybean oil, cocoa butter, coconut oil or other highly comedogenic oils in organic skincare. But you got to know your skin reacts, because I know some people react towards even non-comedogenic ingredients.
I truly believe, that itīs a very good moisturizer with amazing ingredients, but not for me.

I’ve started on my second jar. It’s a great moisturises throughout all seasons. Initially, I was frighten with break out as I’m used to lotion texture, however this cream works well on my combination skin. Texture is somewhere between a lotion and cream. It doesn’t cause any oiliness over summer time. My skin is more smoother and softer.

Love to repurchase this again.

This is a lovely lightweight cream which makes a fabulous day time moisturizer. It's light enought to wear under make up yet still moisturizing enough to do the job it's supposed to. It doesn't cause any problems with skin break outs or irritations and is reasonably priced. I'm not much of a fan of the glass bottle it comes in though.


The only reason I've not given it 5 lippies and wouldn't buy it again is because I'm not a big fan of the smell of this one and really prefer the ultra hydrating cream which I have been using at night instead. Wouldn't repurchase but only because I'll be buying another trilogy moisturizer in its place.

FABULOUS .. what more can you say ??? I had just finished my Aesop Camelia nut moisturiser and was on the hunt for something different. Came across the great reviews for this cream and having already used their oils and serums thought "Of Course !"... Got 20% off at Priceline which brought the price down to $32 AUS which is a steal really for the size. Has pump which is great and best of all is just a brilliant product. Leaves skin moist and plump without feeling at all greasy. Excellent base for makeup too. My whole skincare now is almost entirely Trilogy. Excellent products, great company.

I have been using this moisturiser in the pump version for some months now. I was a Liz Earle fan but I find this product much more firming for my 40 something skin. It really hydrates but without making the skin overly oily and within the first week or so of using it I noticed how much firmer and plumper my skin was - better than anything I had used to date and I am a bit of a skincare addict so I have tested many. I personally love the pump dispenser as I do find the jar less hygienic and I hate the product being wasted by betting trapped under my nails. It does last a long time as you only need a little and it's good for all year round whatever the weather throws at us. I absolutely recommend this product and if it continues to delivery such good results as I get older, I won't move brand again.

The BEST !! Works like a dream on dry, sensitive skin. Gets absorbed quickly and provides great hydration throughout the day, without the oily feel. I use the Trilogy rose hip oil at night and the Vital moisturizer during the day - my skin has never been better for years....Haven't tried the jar version but am truly loving the pump bottle...

This is a really great moisturiser. its def one of the best out of the many that i have tried. what i love about it is that it absorbs into the skin so quickly, leaves your skin feeling nice and soft. its a great base for make up as it wont leave any excess oil on the skin. i will be repurchasing for sure.

I brought this product out of curiosity to try something more natural. It turned out great! It is very moisturizing yet it's not greasy or thick at all. Only requires a little amount and spreads on my skin very well. It absorb into my skin nice and quick. It works good under foundation and gives this natural glow. However sometimes it can get a little bit oily after few hours with liquid foundations but not always, only sometimes. I just finished my current bottle so definitely going to buy it again.

This moisturiser is surprisingly good. After trying other natural based moisturisers - which didn't really hydrate my combo/dry skin, I was finally happy with this one! You only need a small amount that spreads easily and provides enough moisture to my face. But I sometimes have to put a little more around my mouth (which can get dry after awhile).
It makes me have that dewy glowing look BUT can get slighlty oily. Works well under foundation.
I think my skin has adapted well to this moisturiser because I started using nivea soft creme for the past few days (which I love and used last winter) and my skin has started to break out a LITTLE bit, so from now on I'm sticking to trilogy!

I bought this because of all the great reviews (even though I'm so broke).

I was a bit disappointed because when I pumped the dispenser when I first got it, only oil came out! So I shook it like mad, then pumped again (at least 10 more times), then cream finally came out.

This stuff is amazing. My skin has been so angry with lots of inflamed pimples popping up EVERYDAY for the last couple of months and now it is returning to its original state! It's great for my acne-prone skin, and this also has anti-aging which I really want in my regime (I already have lines on my forehead from raising my eyebrows and my eyes are looking tired with fine lines showing!)

I will probably get the Energising lotion when the weather gets warmer. I'm determined to try everything from Trilogy. I love their products!

A very nice moisturiser. It's a shame about the packaging, the pump dispenser stops working when the product gets half way down the bottle and the jar is unhygenic.

I love Trilogy products, they really work for my skin, the end product and non of the ingredients have ever been tested on animals. They are also a carbon neutral and environmentally friendly company.

I was pleasantly surprised by the rich texture of this cream, it's very moisturising but not thick and clogging.

Very natural fragrant, absorbs well and when the weather gets really dry I mixed in a couple drops of their rose hip oil or their Q10 capsules excellent combination for thirsty skin.

It's performance matches some of the more expensive department store brands yet not costing as much, worth buying again.

I do regret the jar packaging though, but then I always prefer vaccume pump packaging because it keeps the products fresher longer.

This is easily the best moisturiser I have tried. It makes my skin look plump, glowing and healthy, and feel nice and soft. Using this, I am confident that my skin is truly being cared for.


I apply it after using a few drops of Trilogy's beautiful rosehip oil. It seems to have a natural affinity with my skin, absorbing quickly and leaving no residue behind like many moisturisers do. It's packed full of nourishing oils and other goodies, is suitable as both a day and night cream, and makes a great base for makeup- my foundation goes on much more smoothly and evenly after using this


I've been using this for a few weeks so far, and it has never caused my skin to break out or become congested. I will repurchase.

Before discovering Vital Moisturizing Cream, I had a vast arsenal of products to treat my constantly changing, sensitive skin. I used different products according to the season and nothing effectively treated my dry, flaky "Winter" skin. Well, those days are over. Three pumps of this, morning and evening, has completely regulated my skin. It has made my face super soft and "glowy". On top of that, no more flakes, no red splotches, no pimples (not 1) in the 9 months I've been using it! It's surprisingly light, but somehow moisturizes better than any of the many greasy, ridiculously priced creams I've used over the years. I even use it around my eyes. Simply put, Vital Moisturizing Cream has changed my life. Seriously.

This is fantstic. Lightweight, ultra hydrating and what I adore about all Trilogy products is that they're such fabulous quality at an extremely fair/affordable price. I recommend this product to anyone who likes natural products and wants fresh and ultra hydrated skin. I am an insanely huge trilogy fan as of recently! Trilogy is sneaking in to my no 1. spot as best skincare brand (It's a tie with Jurlique and Astrali).

I have a problem with some moisturisers in that some ingredient in them ( I don't know what), makes my skin sweat; or rather, the moisturiser seems to melt on my face even if I'm not exerting myself so that I have to constantly wipe the moisture off my face. Whichever...although this has a lovely texture, look, feel and packaging, I won't be repurchasing due to this problem. Such a pity as I so wanted to like this as it's a natural product and beautifully packaged.
