Annique Essense Firming Neck and Bust Cream – 75ml

Tighten, lift and firm your neck and bust — with advanced botanical science and Rooibos.

What It Does

The neck and bust area are among the first places to show visible signs of ageing — and among the most commonly neglected in daily skincare routines. Thinner, more delicate skin combined with constant movement, sun exposure and a lack of dedicated skincare attention means that loss of firmness, sagging, uneven skin tone and sun damage often appear here earlier and more visibly than on the face.

Annique Essense Firming Neck and Bust Cream addresses this directly with a targeted, advanced formula built around three powerful active systems working simultaneously. Firmex — a brand new, state-of-the-art firming active — strengthens the skin’s internal structure and recovers firmness and elasticity from within. Natural AHAs from five botanical sources increase the rate of cell renewal and smooth skin texture from the surface. Rooibos extract provides antioxidant protection and calms the inflammation and damage caused by sun exposure and environmental stressors.

The result is visibly tighter, lifted and firmer skin on the neck and bust — with an improved texture, more even skin tone and a smoother, more youthful complexion. Particularly effective for skin that is sun-damaged, has lost elasticity with age or has been neglected without dedicated neck and bust care.

Key Ingredients & Benefits

Firmex
A brand new, highly effective state-of-the-art firming active — a synergistic combination of two botanical compounds derived from Maral Root and Wild Jujube. Firmex works at a structural level within the skin to strengthen the internal framework, improve the integrity of the dermal-epidermal junction — the critical boundary between the deeper dermis and the outer epidermis — and recover and maintain the firmness and elasticity that the skin loses with age and environmental damage. This is not a surface-level plumping effect but a genuine structural improvement in the skin’s foundation.

Natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs)
A carefully balanced blend of natural AHAs sourced from five botanicals — bilberry, sugar cane, sugar maple, orange and lemon. AHAs work by gently accelerating the skin’s natural cell renewal process — loosening and removing dead, dull surface cells to reveal the fresher, smoother skin beneath. They help even out skin tone, improve texture, reduce the appearance of sun damage and pigmentation and increase the skin’s moisture levels. As a result of increased cell turnover, the skin also responds more effectively to the other active ingredients in the formula.

Rooibos Extract
Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, Rooibos protects the skin from the free radical damage caused by UV exposure and environmental stressors — particularly important for the neck and bust area which is frequently exposed to the sun. It soothes inflammation, calms redness and supports the skin’s natural repair process — complementing the cell-renewing action of the AHAs and the structural support of Firmex.

Who It’s For

Those experiencing sagging or loss of firmness on the neck and bust
Firmex works at a structural level to recover and maintain firmness and elasticity — addressing the root cause of sagging rather than simply providing a temporary surface effect.

Anyone with sun-damaged neck or bust skin
The combination of Rooibos antioxidants and natural AHAs targets the pigmentation, uneven tone and textural damage caused by sun exposure — gradually restoring a more even, smoother complexion to sun-damaged areas.

Those with neglected neck and bust skin
The neck and bust are frequently overlooked in skincare routines — leaving them looking older than the face. This targeted cream provides the dedicated daily care these areas need to catch up and maintain a consistent, youthful appearance.

Women focused on anti-ageing beyond the face
True anti-ageing skincare does not stop at the jawline. Dedicated neck and bust care is an essential component of a comprehensive anti-ageing routine.

Those wanting to improve skin texture and tone
Natural AHAs from five botanical sources accelerate cell renewal and improve overall skin texture — delivering a visibly smoother, more refined complexion with consistent use.

How To Use

1. Apply morning and evening to clean, dry skin.
2. Apply directly to the neck and bust area using gentle upward strokes.
3. Always use in conjunction with a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day — particularly important as AHAs increase the skin’s sensitivity to UV exposure.
4. Perform a patch test before first use — particularly if you have sensitive skin.
5. Use consistently as part of your daily routine for continuous results.

Important tips:

• Never apply fragrance to your neck area during the day — fragrance combined with sun exposure causes pigmentation and accelerated ageing in this area.
• Avoid sun exposure to the neck and bust area without sunscreen — UV damage is a primary cause of premature ageing and pigmentation in these areas.
• Sensitive skin types may not be able to tolerate natural AHAs — always perform a patch test before use and discontinue if irritation occurs.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare practitioner before use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Firmex and how does it work? Firmex is a state-of-the-art natural firming active — a synergistic combination of botanical compounds from Maral Root and Wild Jujube. It works at a structural level within the skin to strengthen the internal framework, improve the integrity of the dermal-epidermal junction and recover and maintain the firmness and elasticity that the skin loses with age. Unlike surface-level plumping ingredients, Firmex delivers genuine structural improvement from within.

What are AHAs and are they safe to use on the neck? Alpha Hydroxy Acids are gentle chemical exfoliants derived from natural sources — in this formula from bilberry, sugar cane, sugar maple, orange and lemon. They accelerate cell renewal, smooth skin texture and improve pigmentation and tone. They are safe and effective for the neck and bust area when used as directed. Because AHAs increase the skin’s sensitivity to UV exposure, daily sunscreen use is essential when using this product.

Can sensitive skin types use this cream? Sensitive skin types may not be able to tolerate natural AHAs. Always perform a patch test before use and introduce the product gradually. If irritation, redness or discomfort occurs, discontinue use and consult your skincare consultant or healthcare practitioner.

Why should I never apply fragrance to my neck during the day? Fragrance applied to the neck combined with sun exposure causes a photosensitivity reaction that leads to pigmentation, dark marks and accelerated skin ageing in that area — a condition known as berloque dermatitis. Apply fragrance to the wrists or behind the ears instead, or apply to the neck only at night when there is no UV exposure.

How long before I see results? Cell renewal takes approximately 28 days — so visible improvement in texture and tone typically becomes noticeable after 4 to 6 weeks of consistent daily use. Firmness and elasticity improvements from Firmex develop progressively with continued use over several months.

Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding? Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare practitioner before using this product.

Why do I need a dedicated neck and bust cream? The skin on the neck and bust is thinner, more delicate and more exposed to sun damage than facial skin — yet it is frequently overlooked in skincare routines. A dedicated formula with targeted actives delivers the specific care these areas need to maintain firmness, even tone and a youthful appearance that is consistent with your facial skincare results.
