BB Cream SPF 30 – 30ml
R469.00
Annique Colour Caress BB Cream SPF 30 is a 5-in-1 satin-smooth beauty balm with Green Rooibos extract, an anti-ageing peptide complex, Brightonyl, ActiCell and broad-spectrum UV filters — evening skin tone, moisturising, fading blemishes, minimising fine lines and protecting against UV damage in one 30ml step.
Annique Colour Caress BB Cream SPF 30 – 30ml
Five skincare benefits in one — protect, nourish and perfect your complexion every day.
The BB Cream concept was born in Germany, where a dermatologist created a single all-purpose cream to protect and support skin following intensive procedures. It swept through South Korea and the rest of Asia before becoming a global staple — and the reason is straightforward: it delivers the coverage of a foundation alongside the care of a skincare product, all in one application.
Annique Colour Caress BB Cream SPF 30 takes this idea further by combining Green Rooibos extract, an advanced anti-ageing peptide complex, the blemish-targeting active Brightonyl, skin-healing ActiCell and a dual-action broad-spectrum UV filter system into a satin-smooth, lightweight formula. Wear it alone for a natural everyday look, or use it as an active skincare base beneath your Annique foundation for a flawless, fully protected finish.
The result is a complexion that is visibly more even, luminous and nourished — with every application working to protect against UV damage, fade dark spots over time and support your skin’s structural resilience. More beautiful skin has never been easier or quicker to achieve.
Key Ingredients & Benefits
Green Rooibos Extract
A powerful botanical antioxidant unique to South Africa. Helps shield skin from free radical damage and environmental stress while supporting a healthy, radiant complexion.
Advanced Anti-Ageing Peptide Complex
Stimulates collagen synthesis and aids skin repair — directly targeting collagen and elastin, the structural proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity. With regular use, it visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Brightonyl
An advanced anti-blemish active that helps fade existing dark spots, works to prevent new ones from forming, and supports a more refined, luminous complexion over time.
ActiCell
A superior botanical extract that delivers deep moisturisation and enhanced skin healing — keeping skin comfortable, hydrated and supported throughout the day.
Broad-Spectrum UV Filters (Organic & Inorganic)
A dual-system combining organic and inorganic UV filters to protect against both UVA rays that accelerate ageing and UVB rays that cause burning. Prevents further skin damage, dark spots and premature ageing — essential daily defence in South Africa’s high-UV climate.
Skin Benefits
- Evens out skin tone and minimises the appearance of imperfections
- Keeps skin hydrated and nourished throughout the day
- Fades existing dark spots and blemishes with regular use
- Visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Protects against UV-induced skin damage and premature ageing
- Leaves the complexion looking luminous and refined
Five Benefits in One
- Evens out skin imperfections
Delivers natural, buildable coverage that unifies skin tone and smooths the appearance of uneven texture for a polished, refined finish. - Adds nourishment and moisturisation
ActiCell, a superior botanical extract, provides moisturisation and enhanced skin healing to keep skin comfortable and supported all day. - Provides exceptional sun protection
Organic and inorganic UV filters work together to guard against UVA rays (ageing) and UVB rays (sunburn and long-term damage) — preventing dark spots and further skin damage. - Facilitates the elimination of blemishes
Brightonyl actively targets existing blemishes, helps stop new dark spots from forming, and works towards a clearer, more even-toned complexion with continued use. - Minimises the appearance of fine lines
An advanced anti-ageing peptide complex boosts collagen synthesis and supports skin repair — visibly softening fine lines and wrinkles from within.
Who It’s For
Everyday makeup wearers
If you want a morning routine that takes less time without losing skincare results or coverage, this all-in-one formula replaces multiple steps in a single product.
Skin prone to blemishes and dark spots
Brightonyl works continuously to fade existing marks and help prevent new ones from appearing — making this as much a targeted skin treatment as a daily beauty product.
Mature skin
The anti-ageing peptide complex stimulates collagen and elastin production — the two proteins that degrade with age and cause wrinkles — making this particularly well suited to skin concerned with fine lines and loss of firmness.
Sun-sensitive and pigmentation-prone skin
Broad-spectrum SPF 30 with both organic and inorganic UV filters provides reliable daily protection against the UV damage that drives pigmentation, dark spots and premature ageing — especially important in South Africa’s harsh sun.
Anyone wanting simplified beauty
Five benefits delivered in a single product means a shorter shelf, fewer steps and a more streamlined daily routine — without compromising on the quality of either your skincare or your coverage.

For light coverage:
- Complete your full Annique skincare routine, including your moisturiser.

For medium coverage:
- Complete your full Annique skincare routine, including your moisturiser.

For optimal coverage:
- Complete your full Annique skincare routine, including your moisturiser.

Pairs Well With
- Feels Like Silk Foundation SPF 15 – 30ml
BB Cream is designed to be worn underneath Annique foundation for a flawless finish — layer Feels Like Silk on top of settled BB Cream to build fuller, skin-like coverage ideal for dry and mature skin types. - Velvet Touch Natural Finish SPF 20 – 30ml
Apply BB Cream as your skincare-and-coverage base first, then layer Velvet Touch Natural Finish over it for a mattifying, natural-finish result that works especially well on oily and combination skin. - Essense Skin Protect SPF 50 – 30ml
For days with prolonged sun exposure, apply Skin Protect SPF 50 before BB Cream to add high-performance broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection on top of the BB Cream's built-in SPF 30 — an important step in South Africa's intense UV climate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does BB Cream stand for?
A: BB stands for Beauty Balm or Blemish Balm — a format that was originally developed in Germany by a dermatologist who wanted one cream capable of protecting and caring for skin after intensive treatments. It combines skincare benefits with makeup coverage in a single product.
Q: Can I wear BB Cream without foundation?
A: Yes. Applied on its own after your moisturiser, BB Cream provides natural, buildable coverage with a satin-smooth finish — perfect for a lighter, more effortless everyday look.
Q: Does BB Cream replace my moisturiser?
A: No. BB Cream should be applied after your moisturiser as the final step of your Annique skincare routine. It adds coverage, UV protection and active skincare benefits on top of your base routine — it does not replace it.
Q: Is SPF 30 sufficient for daily sun protection?
A: SPF 30 provides reliable broad-spectrum protection for daily use. For extended outdoor exposure — especially in South Africa’s high-UV climate — consider applying Annique Essense Skin Protect SPF 50 as a dedicated sunscreen step before BB Cream for maximum UVA and UVB defence.
Q: Is BB Cream suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Yes. Green Rooibos extract, a key active ingredient, is a powerful antioxidant with soothing properties that supports sensitive skin. The formula is designed to care for skin while you wear it, making it appropriate for sensitive skin types.
