Does your skin react when you’re stressed or eat certain foods? Sometimes cosmetics can be the trigger of red blotchy skin, too. Fragrances, artificial colours and strong chemicals can all set the alarm bells ringing…

Does your skin react when you’re stressed or eat certain foods? Sometimes cosmetics can be the trigger of red blotchy skin, too. Fragrances, artificial colours and strong chemicals can all set the alarm bells ringing.

Catherine de Groot, co-founder of Trilogy, is one woman faced with extra-sensitive skin and says she is particularly careful when choosing her skincare.

Thus, the new Trilogy Sensitive Skin range has been designed specifically to address the concerns of extra sensitive skin with a simple, fuss-free range of three daily skincare essentials to cleanse, moisturise and care for sensitive skin.

The range is fragrance free, alcohol free and has been dermatologically tested on sensitive skin. It is formulated with pure plant oils of almond, avocado and olive to soften and hydrate. Chamomile flower, calendula, marshmellow root and evening primrose oil soothe and calm skin. And a plant-derived Hyaluronic Acid firms, plumps and hydrates fine lines. Green tea, rich in anti-oxidants, helps reduce wrinkles and fight free-radical damage.

The range includes 3 basics to use morning and night:

Thread.co.nz’s favourite was the Very Gentle Cleansing Cream ($39.90) which can be used all over the face and also for eye make-up removal.

Next we used the Very Gentle Calming Fluid in the signature medicinal-looking brown glass pump bottle, which is designed to deliver extra comfort and soothing hydration ($42.90) and the last step for extra hydration, is the Very Gentle Moisturising Cream for daily moisture recovery ($45.90.)

Blotchy, irritated skin is no longer a sensitive subject. Stop feeling stratchy, and get some peace and quiet for your skin.
