Review of Trevarno Olive & Almond Hand Cream
By Sue B.

Packaging: Trevarno Olive & Almond Hand Cream comes in a frosted blue glass jar with a silver coloured metal lid, the capacity is 30 ml. The label is black with white text so has a good contrast making it easy to read.
Application: The white cream has a smooth light texture that is absorbed quickly without leaving a greasy residue, making it ideal for repeated application during the day. I don’t currently have sore or chapped hands yet feel that this cream might be too light to soothe them if I did. I think it is perfect for keeping hands moist and supple therefore useful as a preventative.

Ingredients: There was no list of ingredients on the sample pot that I received but, being familiar with Trevarno skincare products and knowing that they only use natural or organic ingredients, I was happy to use Trevarno Olive & Almond Hand Cream before heading to the Internet for a full list. This list also includes: Lavender Flower Water, Olive Oil infused with Comfrey, Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil, Cocoa Butter, Vitamin E, and essential oils of Geranium, Grapefruit & Juniper. The combination of these ingredients gives it a clean, fresh smell.

Results: Trevarno Olive & Almond Hand Cream left my hands feeling soft and nourished as well as smelling fresh and clean.

Pros:
Only natural and organic ingredients are used.
The 30ml jar is small enough to fit in your handbag however; Trevarno Olive & Almond Hand Cream is also available in 60ml jar making it a more economical purchase.
Trevarno facial and body products are produced in Cornwall – which is good for buying British.

Cons:
I feel a richer texture would be required if hands were already sore and chapped.
There is a shelf life of only four months after opening.

Trevarno Overnight Replenishing Cream Reviews

Review of Trevarno Overnight Replenishing Cream

By Catherine G.

Packaging: Trevarno Overnight Replenishing Cream is packaged in a small opaque glass pot with a screw top lid and comes in two sizes – 30 and 60ml

Application: I used this Trevarno after cleansing and toning each night and found the cream soon melts into the skin leaving it feeling soft and ready for a night of replenishing! This is a concentrated product so a little goes a long way!

Ingredients: As the name suggests “Trevarno Overnight Replenishing Cream” is a rich overnight cream designed to moisturise and condition the skin on the face and neck area. It combines a lovely blend of essential oils with one of the main ingredients being Lavender Flower Oil which gives the cream a lovely calming scent but is also renowned for being beneficial to the skin. Lavender has always been known for its healing powers and is even used to treat some skin disorders. This is an organic cream which also contains Frankincense oil and Grapefruit seed extract – 2 more ingredients known for their anti-aging properties.

Other ingredients include: Sesame with Carrot Oil, Jojoba Oil, Wheatgerm Oil, Beeswax, Cocoa Butter, Vitamin E, Rosewood and Cedarwood.

Results: When I received the Trevarno night cream in the post a few weeks ago I was very excited to try it, not only because it’s a local West Country Product but also due to the amazing list of organic ingredients it includes!

Having used some other Trevarno products before I know they are truly organic, never tested on animals and safe for sensitive skin too. In the morning my skin felt smooth and clear – I have combination skin but think this product would suit all skin types from normal to dry.

Pros:

Lovely lavender aroma

Rich moisturiser which leaves the skin feeling soft and supple – a little goes a long way!

Suitable for all skin types

Cons:

None – it’s a great product and very well priced too!!

Trevarno Hand Cream Reviews

Review of Trevarno Olive & Almond Hand Cream
By Shona B.

Packaging: The Trevarno Olive & Almond Hand Cream comes in a very sleek royal blue glass jar with silver screw top and sticky black label. At first the jar seems surprisingly small but when you realize how little you need you realize that it’s quite an adequate size. The jar looks good sitting on the bedside table but the glass means you can’t carry it around with you. The screw top lid is a little fiddly to use when you’ve just used the cream but overall the glass jar does look better than a squeezy tube.

Application: The Trevarno Olive & Almond Hand Cream is like a thick whipped cream. It’s not at all runny and you only need a small amount to cover your hands. The Trevarno cream feels a little wet on application but actually soaks in really quickly and the coolness is refreshing. It’s thick enough to feel like you’re using something substantial and that will moisturize but not so thick you have to spend ages rubbing it in. The Trevarno skincare jar is a little unhygienic as you have to keep sticking fingers in but you don’t end up with crusty bits around the neck like tubes. I liked using it on my feet as well as my hands because it was cooling and soothed dry skin.

Ingredients: The ingredients are listed as follows: Lavender Flower Water is blended with Olive Oil infused with Comfrey, Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil, along with Cocoa Butter, Vitamin E, and essential oils of Geranium, Grapefruit & Juniper. The product actually smells lightly of almonds but not marzipan. I really like the smell.

Results: The Trevarno Hand Cream product soaked in quickly and left skin refreshed and hydrated. It didn’t completely transform very dry or hard patches but certainly helped with day to day moisturising needs of skin. My hands looked more even toned after use but it made little difference to my cuticles.

Best For: Hands (and elbows and feet!) which are already in reasonable condition and need a fuss free every day moisturizer.

Pros:
Quick to soak in – could hold a pen straight away
Would last a surprisingly long time
The cool, wet feeling of the cream is very refreshing
It’s suitable for vegans and pregnant women.
Cons:
Doesn’t tackle very dry or hard skin
Would be nice if it came in a bigger size
The packaging isn’t the most user friendly for something you would want to carry around
