A celeb favourite, from the fabulous Trilogy range, and exactly the sort of product that makes sense the moment you put it in a handbag.
The product is Trilogy Everything Balm: a rich multi-purpose balm for the face, body, lips, cuticles, dry hands, elbows, knees, and any small patch of skin that suddenly starts behaving badly.
The hype
The promise is simple: soothe, soften, and condition skin almost anywhere. It is the sort of balm that sounds old-fashioned in the best way, built around oils, waxes, and the idea that not every skin problem needs a separate tube.
Trilogy pairs rosehip oil with richer balm ingredients, so it feels more protective than a lotion and more useful than a pretty pot you only use once.
Keeping Beautiful's verdict
This is a brilliant product to bring everywhere. I use it mostly as a cuticle cream, lip balm, and moisturiser for little dry patches. It is gentle enough that almost anyone can find a use for it, though I would be careful using a heavy balm all over the face if your skin is oily or breakout-prone.
It is also the kind of product that quietly becomes useful in odd moments: after too much hand washing, on dry elbows, over a cracked knuckle, or when your lips suddenly feel like paper.
- Best for: lips, cuticles, dry hands, elbows, and travel.
- Use less on: oily or congestion-prone facial skin.
- Verdict: definitely recommended; keep it in your handbag.
Why balm still matters
Balms work because they sit in that protective, comforting lane. Dermatologists often recommend occlusive ingredients for dry skin because they help reduce water loss; the American Academy of Dermatology's dry-skin advice explains the basic principle well.
If you like Trilogy's rosehip side, pair this with the Trilogy rosehip oil review. The oil is the elegant face step; the balm is the everywhere-else problem solver.
