Annique Hydrafine Moisturiser – 50ml & Hydrafine Gentle Gel Cleanser – 200ml

Cleanse gently, hydrate lightly and keep normal and combination skin in balance.

Combination skin can feel like two faces in one: a shiny forehead, nose and chin, with cheeks that are normal or even a little dry. Use something too harsh and the dry areas feel tight; use something too rich and the T-zone gets greasier. This Hydrafine duo gives you the two daily basics designed for exactly that middle ground – a gentle, sulphate-free gel cleanser and a lightweight, mattifying moisturiser, both fragrance free.

The Hydrafine Gentle Gel Cleanser creates a soothing lather that lifts away dirt, excess oil, impurities and make-up without stripping the oils your skin still needs. It contains Green Rooibos for antioxidant calm, MarineMatt to absorb excess surface oil, Lamesoft to condition the skin after cleansing, and Vitamin E to help protect the barrier. Mild, SLS-free surfactants do the washing, so skin feels clean and refreshed rather than tight.

The Hydrafine Moisturiser follows with fast-absorbing, non-greasy hydration. Green Rooibos soothes, Marinematt helps take down shine, Niacinamide evens tone, minimises the look of pores and helps regulate oil, Panthenol (Vitamin B5) draws in moisture, and Allantoin softens and calms. It is non-comedogenic, so it hydrates without blocking pores in a T-zone that congests easily.

A Balancing Routine for Normal and Combination Skin

Normal skin still needs a gentle daily cleanse, hydration and protection so early ageing does not creep in. Combination skin needs products that control oil where it shows up and still look after drier patches. Together, these two Hydrafine products do both: the cleanser mattifies oily areas without over-drying, and the moisturiser keeps shine down while making sure the whole face stays comfortably hydrated.

If your skin is dry or very dry, the Lucid range is a better match. If it is very oily or breakout-prone, look at Face Facts instead. Hydrafine sits in the middle on purpose, for balanced, everyday care.

Why Cleanse Once a Day, at Night

Annique recommends cleansing only once a day, at night. That clears away the day’s sweat, make-up, pollution, bacteria and dirt so your treatment products can absorb better. Cleansing again in the morning can strip natural oils and upset the skin barrier. In the morning, simply rinse with lukewarm Rooibos water, apply your treatments, press on the Hydrafine Moisturiser and finish with an Annique Rooibos sunscreen such as Essense Skin Protect SPF 50 – 30ml.

At night, after cleansing and treatments, use the moisturiser again or switch to Hydrafine Night Cream – 50ml for overnight care in the same range. Press the moisturiser onto your skin rather than rubbing, and give it a moment to settle to a soft, velvety finish.

The Hydrafine Moisturiser 50ml and Hydrafine Gentle Gel Cleanser 200ml make a simple, gentle routine for normal and combination skin: one thorough cleanse at night, light hydration every day, and a fresh, balanced finish that feels like skin, not cream.
