Annique Forever Young Revitalising Cream 75 ml

Annique’s world-renowned best-seller — restoring the skin’s own collagen production and moisture retention for genuinely younger-looking skin.

What It Does

Some products earn their reputation over years. The Annique Rooibos Forever Young Revitalising Cream has earned its over decades. First launched in the mid-1970s, it remains one of Annique’s top-selling products today — and last year alone it accounted for nearly 40% of all Forever Young range sales. That kind of sustained loyalty from customers across generations is not built on marketing. It is built on results.

The Revitalising Cream works on a principle that sets it apart from most anti-ageing products. Rather than simply adding collagen topically — which cannot penetrate the skin effectively — it works to restore the skin’s own ability to produce collagen and retain moisture, as though it were younger skin. This distinction matters. Only the body’s own collagen is effective in the production of new skin cells, and the Revitalising Cream’s primary purpose is to help the skin help itself — stimulating the cells’ own collagen and elastin production and supporting a faster, healthier cell replacement cycle.

Formulated with the scientifically validated plant-based active VNA10+ — proven in dermatological tests to be superior to other actives in its class — alongside Annique’s exclusive Rooibos Extract, Pro-vitamin B5 and Lanolin derivatives, this is a product that works as a tonic for the entire skin — enhancing the effectiveness of every other Annique product used alongside it. Fragrance-free, hypo-allergenic and suitable for even the most sensitive skin, it is recommended for all skin types and all ages from 23 onwards.

Key Ingredients & Benefits

VNA10+ A scientifically validated, plant-based bioactive peptide derived from the Mexican Skin Tree. Dermatological tests have demonstrated that VNA10+ is superior to other actives in its class for skin rejuvenation. It helps nourish, repair and restore facial skin — stimulating the skin’s own collagen and elastin production and supporting a faster, healthier cell renewal cycle. Its anti-allergenic and non-irritating profile makes it suitable for even the most sensitive skin types.

Rooibos Extract (Aspalathus Linearis) Annique’s exclusive, signature ingredient. Rooibos is included for its hypo-allergenic and antioxidant properties — protecting the skin from oxidative stress and free radical damage while soothing and calming reactive or sensitive skin. Its inclusion ensures the formula is gentle enough for daily use on all skin types.

Pro-vitamin B5 (Panthenol) A deeply moisturising and anti-inflammatory active that soothes irritated skin and supports minor wound healing. Pro-vitamin B5 helps maintain comfortable, calm skin throughout the treatment process — particularly beneficial for skin that is reactive, dry or recovering from environmental stress.

Lanolin Derivatives Form a protective layer on the skin’s surface that prevents water loss and helps skin appear visibly smoother. Lanolin derivatives support the skin’s barrier function and help lock in the moisture and active benefits delivered by the other ingredients in the formula.

What It Improves

• Skin’s own collagen and elastin production
• Skin firmness, elasticity and cell renewal rate
• Skin hydration and moisture retention
• Dull, lifeless and tired-looking skin
• Visible signs of premature and advanced ageing
• Overall skin health and radiance

Who It’s For

Ages 23–35 — Preventative support Introduced once daily from age 23, the Revitalising Cream helps maintain the skin’s collagen production and moisture retention before significant signs of ageing appear — preserving skin quality and preventing premature ageing from an early stage.

Ages 35+ — Restorative support Used twice daily from age 35 onwards, it provides the more intensive collagen stimulation and cell renewal support that ageing skin needs to visibly restore firmness, radiance and youthful-looking texture.

Under 25 — Early prevention Used three times per week, it provides a gentle, proactive foundation for long-term skin health — building good habits and skin resilience before the visible signs of ageing begin.

All skin types Fragrance-free, hypo-allergenic and dermatologically tested — suitable for normal, dry, oily, combination, sensitive and mature skin alike.

Dull, lifeless or aged skin Recommended specifically for skin that has lost its vitality, firmness and radiance — and for anyone wanting to prevent or reverse the visible effects of premature ageing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the Revitalising Cream used before a moisturiser and not instead of one? The Revitalising Cream is a treatment product — a tonic that works to restore the skin’s own collagen production and moisture-retaining ability. It is not a standalone moisturiser. A moisturiser applied on top seals in the treatment and provides the surface hydration and protection the skin also needs. The two products work together — the Revitalising Cream works beneath the surface, the moisturiser protects and nourishes above it.

Why does this work better than applying collagen topically? Collagen molecules applied to the surface of the skin are too large to penetrate effectively — they sit on top without delivering real structural benefit. The Revitalising Cream works differently by stimulating the skin’s own fibroblasts to produce collagen naturally from within. This is significantly more effective because the body’s own collagen is the only form that can genuinely contribute to new cell production and lasting skin firmness.

From what age should I start using this product? Annique recommends introducing the Revitalising Cream from age 23 — used three times per week initially, increasing to daily use from age 23 to 35, and twice daily from age 35 onwards as the skin’s natural collagen production continues to decline.

Is this suitable for sensitive skin? Yes. The formula is fragrance-free, hypo-allergenic and dermatologically tested — specifically validated as non-irritating for even the most sensitive skin types. The inclusion of Rooibos Extract further supports sensitive and reactive skin throughout use.

Can I use this with other Forever Young products? Yes — and Annique actively encourages it. The Revitalising Cream is designed to work as a tonic that enhances the effectiveness of other Annique products used alongside it. It pairs particularly well with the Essense Skin Detox, Essense Moisture Serum, Forever Young Crème de Nuit and any Annique moisturiser suited to your skin type.

Can I apply this to areas other than my face? Yes. Annique recommends pressing the Revitalising Cream onto the full face, neck — front and back — the breast area and the backs of the hands. These are all areas where the signs of ageing commonly appear and where the collagen-stimulating benefits of the formula are equally valuable.
