Annique Face Facts Gel Cleanser – 200ml

A daily gel cleanser that removes excess oil, impurities and dead skin cells — leaving oily and problem skin feeling fresh, clean and controlled.

Oily and problem skin faces a constant challenge: excess sebum, blocked pores, dirt, bacteria and daily impurities that accumulate on the skin’s surface throughout the day. The Annique Rooibos Face Facts Gel Cleanser was developed specifically for this skin type, offering a thorough cleanse that removes dirt and excess oil without stripping the skin or causing irritation.

The formula contains antibacterial Tea Tree Oil, soothing Witch Hazel and Fruit Acids that gently exfoliate dead skin cells while cleansing excess oil and impurities. Green Rooibos, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, provides antioxidant benefits and helps control oiliness — making this cleanser ideal for oily and problem-prone skin.

Annique has more than five decades of experience in Rooibos-based skincare solutions. This formulation has been upgraded from 100ml to 200ml to offer better value and convenience. At the same time, the formula was refined by removing unnecessary components that do not contribute to the cleanser’s core function — focusing on what truly matters: effective, soothing cleansing with skin-friendly ingredients.

Understanding Oily & Problem Skin

Oily and problem skin types are common, especially among teenagers and young adults. They often go hand-in-hand, but it is helpful to understand each one separately.

Oily skin produces more oil (sebum) than needed, leading to a shiny appearance as well as a buildup of dead skin cells and oil, resulting in a thicker skin texture. Excess oil can contribute to clogged pores and may result in blemishes.

Problem skin refers to skin that frequently experiences issues like pimples, blackheads, whiteheads and inflammation. It is often a result of clogged pores due to excess oil and dead skin cells, as well as other environmental factors.

Cleanse Only at Night

Annique recommends cleansing your face once a day, at night. At night your skin needs a deep reset from all the elements it is exposed to during the day — sweat, make-up, pollution, bacteria and dirt. Cleansing at night removes this buildup and gives your skin a clean slate to absorb treatment products more effectively.

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

Who It’s For

Those with oily skin
Ideal for skin that produces excess sebum, appears shiny or greasy, feels slick to the touch and where make-up may not stay in place. Formulated to gently remove excess oil without disrupting the skin’s natural balance.

Those with problem-prone skin
Suited to skin that experiences frequent breakouts like pimples or blackheads, has an uneven skin texture, or feels sensitive and irritated. The cleanser effectively removes impurities and gently exfoliates to smooth texture and reduce irritation.

Those dealing with specific skin concerns
Particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing visibly larger pores, acne breakouts or uneven skin texture due to excess oil and dead skin cell buildup.

Teenagers and young adults
Oily and problem skin types are common, especially among teenagers and young adults navigating hormonal changes and increased oil production.

Those who prefer a gel-textured cleanser
Suitable for individuals who prefer a light, refreshing gel texture and appreciate formulations enriched with natural extracts like Tea Tree Oil and Witch Hazel, or those seeking a cleanser that polishes away impurities through natural fruit acids.

How To Use

Gently massage onto your face and neck using circular motions, focusing on areas prone to oiliness and breakouts.
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.
Apply the Face Facts Moisturiser to maintain hydration.
Protect with Annique Rooibos sunscreen.

⚠️ Avoid over-cleansing: Cleanse only once a day, at night. While it is important to keep the skin clean, over-cleansing can strip natural oils and may lead to increased oil production.

⚠️ For make-up removal: It is recommended to do a double cleanse — use the Essense Rooibos Micellar Water first, followed by the Face Facts Gel Cleanser, to remove stubborn make-up gently but effectively.
