Lucid Night Cream with Hyaluronic Acid 50ml

The ultimate overnight hydration booster — deeply plumping, nourishing and repairing dry, dehydrated and mature skin while you sleep.

What It Does

Night time is when your skin works hardest. Skin cells are most active during sleep — renewing, repairing and regenerating at a rate that simply isn’t possible during the day. This makes what you apply before bed one of the most important steps in your skincare routine. A rich, well-formulated night cream doesn’t just moisturise — it gives your skin the nourishment it needs to do its best work overnight.

The Annique Rooibos Lucid Night Cream with Hyaluronic Acid is built around this principle. Its advanced formula combines Hyaluronic Acid — which holds up to 1 000 times its weight in water — with AquaVital+, which creates a moisture reservoir within the skin, together delivering a level of deep, sustained hydration that goes far beyond surface moisturising. The result by morning is skin that feels visibly plumper, softer and more supple.

Alongside these hydration powerhouses, Green Rooibos Extract provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support, Squalane and Macadamia Nut Oil nourish and soften, Allantoin promotes healing and regeneration, and Pre- and Probiotics support the skin’s natural microbiome and barrier function. Together they make this night cream a comprehensive overnight treatment — not simply a moisturiser.

Key Ingredients & Benefits

Hyaluronic Acid One of the most effective hydrating ingredients available in skincare. Hyaluronic Acid is capable of holding up to 1 000 times its weight in water, drawing moisture deep into the skin and holding it there. It visibly plumps the skin, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improves elasticity — making it particularly valuable for dry, dehydrated and mature skin.

AquaVital+ A sophisticated plant-based moisturising complex derived from the Tara plant of the Peruvian Andes — a plant that evolved to prevent rapid water loss in an extreme dry climate. AquaVital+ creates a moisture reservoir within the skin, supporting sustained, long-lasting hydration that continues working throughout the night.

Squalane A lightweight yet deeply nourishing oil that closely mimics the skin’s own natural sebum. Squalane absorbs easily without feeling greasy, strengthens the skin barrier, locks in moisture and supports the skin’s natural repair processes overnight.

Macadamia Nut Oil Rich in essential fatty acids that are closely equivalent to the skin’s own natural oils. Macadamia Nut Oil softens and conditions dry skin, helps reduce tightness and supports the skin’s recovery from daily environmental stress.

Olive Fruit Oil A rich source of antioxidants and fatty acids that nourish and protect the skin. Olive Fruit Oil supports the skin’s barrier function and helps improve softness and suppleness with overnight use.

Green Rooibos Extract (Aspalathus Linearis) Rich in antioxidants and valued for its anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. Green Rooibos helps protect the skin from environmental damage, soothes irritation and supports healthy skin renewal — making it an ideal ingredient in an overnight treatment.

Allantoin A gentle, well-tolerated ingredient known for its ability to promote skin healing and regeneration. Allantoin soothes irritated skin, encourages cell renewal and helps improve overall skin texture and smoothness overnight.

Pre- and Probiotics Support the skin’s natural microbiome — the healthy bacterial balance that plays a key role in maintaining the skin barrier. Probiotics strengthen the skin’s ability to repair itself, reduce inflammation and support collagen and elastin production. Paired with a prebiotic (oligosaccharide), they work together to keep skin balanced, resilient and healthy.

Who It’s For

Dry and dehydrated skin The primary target for this formula — providing the deep, sustained overnight hydration that dry skin needs to recover and maintain comfort.

Mature skin As skin ages it loses moisture more rapidly and renews more slowly. The combination of Hyaluronic Acid, AquaVital+ and Squalane makes this night cream particularly effective for mature skin needing intensive overnight support.

Sensitive skin Formulated with gentle, soothing ingredients including Rooibos and Allantoin — suitable for reactive skin that needs rich moisture without irritation.

People in dry or cold climates Designed with South Africa’s harsh and varied climate in mind — providing reliable overnight hydration for skin exposed to extreme dryness or cold.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a night cream important? Skin cells are significantly more active during sleep than during the day — this is when the skin does most of its renewing and repairing. A good night cream provides the moisture and nourishment your skin needs to make the most of this natural repair window, helping to prevent premature ageing and maintain skin health over time.

How is this different from a regular daytime moisturiser? Night creams are typically richer and more intensive than daytime moisturisers. They are designed to work with the skin’s overnight renewal processes rather than to protect against daytime environmental exposure. The Lucid Night Cream focuses on deep hydration, plumping and repair rather than lightweight daily protection.

Is this suitable for sensitive skin? Yes. The formula includes Rooibos extract and Allantoin — both well known for their soothing and gentle properties — making it suitable for sensitive or reactive skin types.

Can I use this if I have oily or acne-prone skin? Yes. Despite its rich hydration, the formula is suitable for all skin types including oily and acne-prone skin. Hyaluronic Acid is a lightweight hydrator and Squalane is non-comedogenic, meaning it will not block pores.

Do I need to use a serum before this night cream? For best results, yes. Applying a serum suited to your skin type before your night cream allows active ingredients to penetrate more effectively, and the night cream then seals in that treatment layer overnight.

How soon will I notice a difference? Many users notice an improvement in skin softness and comfort from the first use. Visible improvements in fine lines, firmness and overall skin texture develop with consistent nightly use over several weeks.
