For normal/combination skin

Hydrafine Gentle Gel Cleanser combines the antioxidant-rich power of green Rooibos with Marinematt, which absorbs excess surface oil, Lamesoft®, which helps replenish the skin’s natural moisturising factor and Vitamin E that helps to protect the skin barrier by calming sensitive and irritated skin. This cleanser creates a soothing lather that lifts away impurities while maintaining your skin's natural balance. Ideal for normal and combination skin, this sulphate-free formula leaves your skin feeling clean, calm and refreshed without stripping away the skin’s natural oils.

Understanding Normal and Combination Skin

Normal and combination skin are two of the most common, yet often misunderstood skin types.

• Normal skin is considered the ideal: balanced, with minimal concerns. But just because it’s low maintenance doesn’t mean it doesn’t need care!
• Combination skin, on the other hand, is a little trickier – typically oilier in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) and drier or normal on the cheeks.

When it comes to skin, knowledge is power – and the right routine makes all the difference.

Annique Rooibos approach to skin care is unique. We have more than 5 decades of experience in Rooibos-based skin care solutions and rituals, that provides visible results. One of our recommendations is to only cleanse your face once a day, at night.

Production Application

Product Application

Gently massage onto your face and neck using circular motions, then rinse with lukewarm water infused with Green Rooibos. Press your skin dry with a clean towel. After cleansing, apply your preferred Essense and/or Forever Young treatment product, then lock in hydration with the Hydrafine Moisturiser and protect with Annique Rooibos sunscreen.

Avoid over-cleansing: Cleanse only once a day, at night. While it's important to keep the skin clean, over-cleansing can strip natural oils and may lead to increased oil production. Stick to once daily unless otherwise directed by a skin care professional.

Cleanse Only at Night: At night your skin needs a deep reset from all the elements it is exposed to during the day such as sweat, make-up, pollution, bacteria and dirt.

Cleansing at night helps remove the buildup and gives your skin a clean slate to absorb the treatment products from the Forever Young Anti-Ageing and Essense Treatment ranges more effectively.

Cleansing in the morning can lead to over-cleansing that can disrupt your skin barrier, strip away your skin’s natural oils and lead to dryness or irritation. In the morning you can rinse your face with lukewarm Rooibos water (dilute a cup of Rooibos in your wash basin water) and apply your treatment products as required with the Annique Rooibos moisturiser best suited to your skin and a sunscreen.
