Annique Colour Caress BB Cream SPF 30 – 30ml
Five beauty benefits, one satin-smooth step.
BB creams started life in Germany, developed by a dermatologist who wanted a single cream that could protect skin and cover it up after harsh clinical treatments. The idea travelled to South Korea, spread across Asia, and is now a global staple — “BB” simply stands for beauty balm or blemish balm. Annique’s version, Colour Caress BB Cream SPF 30, brings that same idea into a modern rooibos-based formula: real skincare and satin-smooth coverage from one 30ml tube.
This is a 5-in-1 anti-ageing BB cream with Rooibos: it evens out the look of skin imperfections, adds nourishment and moisturisation, offers exceptional sun protection, helps fade the look of existing blemishes, and softens the appearance of fine lines. An advanced anti-ageing peptide complex works alongside Green Rooibos extract so your skincare and your coverage happen in the same easy step, rather than in separate products stacked on top of each other.
Organic and inorganic UV filters give this blemish balm with sun protection broad-spectrum defence against both UVA rays (which drive premature ageing) and UVB rays (which cause sunburn) — essential daily cover in South Africa’s strong sun. ActiCell botanical extract adds moisturisation and skin-healing support, the peptide complex encourages collagen synthesis and repair, and Brightonyl works on existing dark spots while helping stop new ones forming, for a more even, luminous complexion.
Wear it alone after your moisturiser for a lighter, natural look, or let it settle for a few minutes and layer your Annique foundation over the top for fuller, flawless coverage — protecting, hydrating and illuminating your complexion while trimming steps from your daily routine.
Key Ingredients & Benefits
Green Rooibos Extract
A South African botanical antioxidant that helps defend skin against free-radical and environmental stress, supporting a healthy, radiant complexion.
Anti-Ageing Peptide Complex
Encourages collagen synthesis and skin repair, helping to visibly soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles as collagen and elastin naturally decline with age.
Brightonyl
An anti-blemish active that works on existing dark spots, helps stop new ones forming, and supports a more even, refined-looking complexion over time.
ActiCell
A botanical extract that delivers moisturisation and enhanced skin-healing support, keeping skin comfortable through the day.
Broad-Spectrum UV Filters (Organic & Inorganic)
A dual UVA/UVB filter system — guarding against the ageing effects of UVA rays and the sunburn risk of UVB rays, important daily protection in South Africa’s harsh sun.

Who It’s For
Everyday makeup wearers
Want a quicker morning routine without giving up skincare benefits or coverage? This 5-in-1 beauty balm replaces several separate steps with one.
Skin prone to blemishes and dark spots
Brightonyl works continuously on existing marks and helps prevent new ones — making this as much a targeted daily treatment as a beauty step.
Mature skin
The anti-ageing peptide complex supports collagen and elastin, the proteins that decline as skin ages, so this suits anyone concerned with fine lines and firmness.
Sun-sensitive or pigmentation-prone skin
Broad-spectrum SPF 30 with organic and inorganic UV filters gives reliable daily protection against the sun damage that drives pigmentation and premature ageing — especially important in South Africa’s climate.
Anyone wanting a simpler routine
Five benefits in one product means fewer steps in the morning, without giving up skincare or coverage.
How To Use
For a light cover:
- Complete your full Annique skincare routine, including your moisturiser.
- Apply Colour Caress BB Cream directly over your moisturiser.
For medium to optimal cover:
- Complete your full Annique skincare routine, including your moisturiser.
- Apply BB Cream and leave it to settle for a few minutes.
- Apply your Annique foundation and makeup as usual.
Reapply BB Cream (and foundation, if worn) as often as needed through the day, and more regularly if you’re spending extended time out in the sun.
Pairs Well With
- Feels Like Silk Foundation SPF 15 – 30ml
BB Cream is designed as the skincare-active base worn underneath Annique foundation — layering Feels Like Silk over settled BB Cream builds fuller, skin-like coverage suited to dry and mature skin. - Essense Skin Protect SPF 50 – 30ml
On days with prolonged sun exposure, applying Skin Protect SPF 50 before BB Cream adds high-performance broad-spectrum protection on top of BB Cream's built-in SPF 30, important in South Africa's intense UV climate.
