I purchased this product to try, as I was looking for a gentle cream-based cleanser for my combination skin.
I thought the Neutrogena Deep Clean Cream Cleanser was a good product, however I wish they also sold a fragrance-free version, as the smell can get a little over-powering (especially when it is so close to the nose and eyes). I did not experience any reactions, nor do I usually, it is just a personal preference.
I like that it has some salicylic acid included in the formula, as I do occasionally have breakouts. Since using this product, I have noticed that these breakouts have reduced in frequency and duration.
I would highly recommend this cleanser, except if you have a sensitivity to fragrance. This is a gentle cleanser and won't strip your face of all the good oils like some of the other cleansers on the market will.

I keep these at my desk, and every few days I give my desk and keyboard a good wipe down. In the winter months I find them great to help kill germs, especially when colleagues are sick. Better to be safe than sorry!
The scent is refreshing, and not too overpowering - it does disappear quickly as the surface dries. Plus, I find the packaging to be very handy when getting fresh wipes out.

I purchased this product after hearing good things about Cerave from a colleague, while I was on the hunt for a facial moisturizer with at least SPF 30.
Personally, I like this product, although it wasn’t love at first sight. The first few times using the Cerave AM lotion, I would always end up with little white balls on my face, predominately on and around my nose. I jumped online and read different reviews on the product – someone had said about dabbing it on to your face, and blending it in that way, and others had mixed reviews about using any other products underneath.
After about a week of trial and error, I just applied it to my freshly washed (and dried) face, with a firm but gentle hand, and stopped rubbing immediately after most of the white had disappeared. This seems to be the technique that works for me (and the remaining white disappears as it is absorbed), although I imagine different people have success with other application methods. One thing I found is that regardless of what products I put underneath, and for how long I leave them to dry/sink-in, I would always end up with the white balls of zinc.
The Cerave AM lotion feels light-weight and dries quite nicely on my face. I have not applied any make-up on top, so cannot comment in that department. The smell is minimal, and I find it hardly noticeable.
Overall, this product seems to do a good job moisturizing and is a good option for general everyday sun protection - I haven’t been sunburnt once while wearing it for the past 3 months. I think that the Cerave AM lotion is a great alternative to applying regular sunscreen for days when at home and I love how quick and easy it is to apply (now that I have the know-how). I would happily buy again in the future.

Having moved overseas and unable to find my regular brand of skincare products, I decided to try out something new, and venture into the land of never-before used skincare (i.e. skincare items/brands I had never used). After reading good reviews about the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream (Extra Dry Skin version), I decided to give it a shot, and have no regrets.
The Hydro Boost Gel-Cream is very lightweight, and having oily/combination skin, I have not had any issues with the product blocking pores. I find this fragrance-free product to be very hydrating and can easily be worn under foundation or sunscreen. In addition, this product doubles as an eye cream, as I use it around my eyes without any irritation - although I would not recommend using the fragrance version around the eyes (the extra dry skin version contains no fragrance).
I apply this product morning and night to a wet face. During the winter months, I have been applying a small amount of my regular moisturizer on top, as an added layer for skin hydration.
I would happily recommend this product to others, as it is a perfect all-year-round moisturizer.

Having discovered the Trilogy brand in 2012, I was hooked after the first night when I used Trilogy’s Balancing Cleanser, followed by their Rosehip Oil. Ever since, I have been using Trilogy's products with the Rosehip Oil being a skincare staple in my routine.
Every evening, I mix 2-3 drops of this liquid gold with my moisturizer before applying to my damp face and neck. I feel like my skin is soft, supple, and well hydrated the morning after using their Rosehip Oil, which has replaced any need for a serum in my skincare routine. I have oily/combination skin, and this product does not break me out, nor have I experienced any negative reactions while using any of Trilogy’s products.
After stumbling across this brand many moons ago, my skincare routine has changed with time to consist predominately of Trilogy's products. I cannot recommend this product and the Trilogy brand enough!
