Trilogy Skincare Review – Do they Deliver on Hydration? I Tried Their Top Products for a Month

When the weather turned dry and my skin started crying out for help, I decided it was time to test one of the most frequently recommended names in natural skincare: Trilogy Skincare. Known for its cult-favourite rosehip oil and certified organic formulas, Trilogy has built a reputation for harnessing botanicals to support skin health, especially hydration.

But does it really deliver on deep, lasting moisture? I tried three of Trilogy’s most hydrating skincare products – the Certified Organic Rosehip Oil, the Ultra Hydrating Face Cream, and the Hyaluronic Acid+ Ultra Serum over the course of a full month. Here’s what I found, both from my own experience and what science and the skincare community have to say.

First Impressions: Minimalist Formulas with Intent

Trilogy’s branding is clean, functional, and modest, which I appreciated. No overblown claims, no glittering promises. Each product focuses on a tight edit of proven ingredients, most of which are certified organic or derived from natural sources.

Key appeal: This line is suited to all skin types, but especially sensitive and dry skin, and that was ideal for me. I wanted to know whether Trilogy’s hydration-boosting formulas could hold up under daily wear, stress, and changing temperatures.

The Three Hydration Heroes: Ingredient Breakdown & Why They Matter

1. Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil

Ingredients: 100% cold-pressed rosehip seed oil

Science Says:
Rosehip oil is rich in omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids, plus vitamin A (retinol) and vitamin C, both of which support collagen production and skin regeneration. It’s also packed with linoleic acid, a key player in strengthening the skin barrier.

Experience:
The oil absorbed faster than expected. I applied 2–3 drops each night after cleansing. No fragrance, no irritation. Over time, it left my skin more supple, and it did help calm the occasional redness around my cheeks. Moving into summer, my personal preference is to stop the oils and let my skin breathe overnight however, this was a godsend during the colder and more dry months.

2. Ultra Hydrating Face Cream

Ingredients: Rosehip oil, evening primrose oil, coconut oil, manuka honey, shea butter, glycerin, lavender essential oil

Science Says:

• Glycerin and coconut oil are deeply hydrating and help prevent transepidermal water loss.
• Manuka honey is known for its antibacterial and humectant properties, ideal for irritated or dry skin.
• Lavender oil, while sometimes sensitising, is calming in small doses – and Trilogy balances it well.

Experience:
This was the product I reached for most. It has a luxuriously thick texture, yet absorbed surprisingly fast. It felt like a protective coat for my skin without being greasy. I usually instinctively run away from nice-smelling face products out of fear it will include very drying perfumes, but knowing this was all natural was a big plus.

Reviewers consistently called this cream their “go-to winter moisturiser.” Multiple Reddit threads described it as “the only thing that worked” when dealing with windburn, eczema flare-ups, or retinol overuse.

3. Hyaluronic Acid+ Ultra Serum

Ingredients: 3 molecular weights of hyaluronic acid, Glycoin, vegan peptides

Science Says:

• Multi-weight hyaluronic acid delivers moisture at different skin depths, from the surface to the dermis.
• Glycoin® (glyceryl glucoside) is an osmosis regulator shown to protect cells under stress and support elasticity.
• Peptides help signal skin to produce collagen, which improves firmness and hydration retention over time.

Experience:
This became a staple in my morning and bedtime routine. A lightweight, no-fuss serum. It gave me an instant plumping effect, but more importantly, after two weeks, I noticed fewer dry flakes and less tightness around my eyes and mouth. It was noticeably more absorbent and light weight than my previous serum from The Ordinary and this will definitely become my go-to moving forward.

What Others Say:
Skincare Redditors often highlighted how this serum competes with higher-priced HA formulas in terms of hydration. Users loved its non-sticky finish and praised it as ideal for sensitive skin prone to reacting to synthetic HA blends.

The Verdict: Is Trilogy Skincare Truly Hydrating?

What I Loved:

• Simplicity: Each product has a focused, effective formula.
• No fragrance overload: Nothing irritated my skin — not even the essential oils in the face cream.
• Consistency builds results: It took about 10–14 days to see noticeable changes, but by the end of the month, I could genuinely say my skin looked healthier, smoother, and more balanced.
• Ethical credentials: Vegan, cruelty-free, and certified organic where possible.

What to Know:

• The face cream may be too rich for oily skin types, especially in warmer months.
• If you’re looking for immediate dramatic changes, you’ll need to be patient. These are gradual, barrier-building products — not overnight fixes.

Final Thoughts: FAULTLess Hydration?

After one month, I can confidently say this routine delivered results. My skin feels balanced, more resilient, and – yes – hydrated. The rosehip oil restored softness and tone, the serum smoothed fine lines, and the cream became my go-to for sealing it all in.

Trilogy doesn’t rely on flashy branding or complex regimens. Instead, it quietly does what it claims, which is rarer in the skincare world than you’d think. If you’re on the hunt for a hydration-focused routine that actually respects your skin barrier, this trio might be your FAULTLess solution.
