When it comes to looking after your skin in the colder months, your first port of call is finding a really nourishing moisturiser. The maths is simple – the colder the weather, the drier your skin. Lighter moisturisers that work perfectly in summer just won’t cut it, and you’ll notice your skin’s unhappiness in its overall appearance and lustre.
A lot of people don’t switch moisturisers to something more heavy duty because they’re worried about breakouts and clogging their pores. If you’re prone to breaking out and loathe to change products for fear of congestion spots, then don’t feel you have no choice but to press on with a lightweight fluid. A moisturiser rich in nutrients and hydration doesn’t mean the texture of Clag paste. Go for something that is easily absorbed and non greasy, but which still contains the added benefits your skin needs to make it through the crisper season.
Trilogy Vital Moisturising Cream is a dream in a pot (or pump, whichever you prefer). Containing the elixir of good skin, rosehip oil (full of antioxidants and essential fatty acids) plus a dream team of jojoba, evening primrose and carrot oils, this very light but very powerful cream works to assist skin in repairing, renewing and protecting itself. Signs of damage and age are reduced, and skin maintains its natural elasticity. For those concerned about overly heavy creams, fear not, this is a very light and very quickly absorbed product. And, even better, it won’t cost you the world.
Dry skin, be gone.

I just bought it and used it for one day and incredibly, my freckles seem to have significantly darken – I am returning it to the store and have to consider laser surgery seriously now. Has anyone any similar experience?
That’s really strange. Did you use the oil or cream? The oil can leave a slight film over the skin before it’s absorbed that might give the appearance of darker freckles … but the cream shouldn’t.
