Annique Resque Camphor Cream – 500ml
Warming, soothing and deeply nourishing — a multi-benefit Camphor and Rooibos cream that protects, restores and comforts dry, rough and chapped skin.
Dry, rough and chapped skin needs more than surface moisture — it needs a formula that penetrates deeply, restores the skin’s natural comfort and provides lasting protection against the conditions that caused the dryness in the first place. The Annique Resque Camphor Cream delivers exactly this, in a non-greasy formula that absorbs comfortably and works immediately.
At the heart of the formula is a carefully balanced combination of Camphor, Glycerine and Rooibos Extract. Camphor brings cooling, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and decongestant properties that soothe the skin, relax the body and mind and provide a lasting feeling of peace and freshness. Glycerine intensely moisturises, restores and softens dry, rough and chapped skin. Enriched with Annique’s exclusive Rooibos Extract — high in antioxidants and free radical scavenging benefit — the formula goes beyond skin comfort to actively protect against the premature ageing that environmental exposure and oxidative stress cause over time.
The result is a genuinely multi-benefit cream — intensely moisturising for dry, rough and chapped skin, soothing and anti-inflammatory for irritated or reactive skin conditions such as eczema and sunburn, antiseptic for insect bites and minor skin infections and decongestant when rubbed into the chest and throat to release Camphor vapours. Suitable for the whole family and gentle enough for daily use.
Key Ingredients and Benefits
Camphor
A multi-functional herbal active with a long history of therapeutic use. Camphor provides cooling comfort to dry, rough and chapped skin, acts as a soothing antiseptic and anti-inflammatory, assists in disinfecting insect bites and minor skin infections and works as a natural decongestant — releasing therapeutic vapours when warmed by body heat on the chest and throat. It also carries sedative and calming properties that relax the body and mind, leaving a feeling of peace and freshness after application.
Glycerine
Intensely moisturises, restores, softens and protects rough, dry and chapped skin — a key hydrating active that works alongside Camphor and Rooibos to deliver the cream’s deeply nourishing benefit.
Rooibos Extract (Aspalathus Linearis)
Rich in antioxidants and free radical scavenging compounds, Rooibos hydrates the skin, provides powerful anti-inflammatory relief from itching, dryness, eczema and sunburn and actively helps prevent the premature ageing caused by daily environmental and oxidative stress. Its inclusion ensures the formula is gentle and well tolerated by sensitive skin types and the whole family.

Who It’s For
Those with dry, rough or chapped skin
The deeply nourishing and moisturising formula restores comfort and softness to skin that has become rough, dry or chapped through environmental exposure, cold weather or everyday wear.
Those with eczema or sunburn
The anti-inflammatory and soothing properties of both Camphor and Rooibos Extract make this cream effective for calming the itching, redness and discomfort of eczema and sunburn.
Those with insect bites or minor skin infections
The antiseptic properties of Camphor assist in disinfecting insect bites and minor skin infections — making this a practical skin emergency product as well as a daily moisturiser.
Those with congestion or respiratory discomfort
Rubbed into the chest and throat, body heat releases Camphor vapours that act as a natural decongestant — loosening mucus and relieving airway congestion.
The whole family
Suitable for all ages — a versatile, gentle and effective multi-benefit cream for daily skin care and everyday skin and respiratory comfort across the whole household.
How To Use
For dry, rough and chapped skin:
- Apply the Resque Camphor Cream daily to the affected areas.
- Massage gently into the skin until absorbed for smooth, healthy-looking skin.
For eczema, sunburn and skin irritation:
- Apply liberally to the irritated or inflamed area as needed.
- Reapply throughout the day for continued soothing and anti-inflammatory relief.
For insect bites and minor skin infections:
- Apply directly to the affected area to assist in disinfecting and soothing the bite or infection.
For congestion and respiratory relief:
- Apply a generous amount to the chest and throat.
- Body heat will warm the cream and release Camphor vapours that act as a natural decongestant — loosening mucus and easing airway congestion.
- Inhaling Camphor fumes directly from the cream also helps relieve airway congestion.
Pairs Well With
- Annique Resque Foot Balm 150ml
While the Camphor Cream provides moisturising and soothing care for dry, rough skin across the body — elbows, knees, hands and chapped areas — the Foot Balm gives feet the dedicated targeted treatment they need. Used together they cover every area of dry, neglected skin from head to toe. - Annique Resque Rooibos Wash 500ml
Cleanse with the Rooibos Wash first, then apply the Camphor Cream to freshly cleansed, towel-dried skin for maximum absorption. The antibacterial properties of the wash complement the antiseptic properties of the Camphor Cream for a complete cleanse-and-treat routine. - Annique Resque Crème 30ml
The Camphor Cream provides broad daily moisturising and soothing care. Resque Crème — with the highest concentration of Rooibos Extract in the range — is applied to specific acute problem areas: eczema, allergic reactions, severe irritation. The two products complement each other as daily care and targeted emergency relief. - Annique Resque Circulation 75ml
For those who use the Camphor Cream on tired, aching legs and feet, the Circulation gel provides dedicated circulatory and swelling relief that the Camphor Cream does not specifically address. Together they cover both the dry skin and the circulatory concerns that affect the lower legs and feet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is this different from the Resque Crème?
A: While both products provide soothing relief for dry and irritated skin, they work differently. The Resque Crème contains the highest concentration of Rooibos Extract in the Annique range and is specifically formulated for skin emergencies — insect bites, eczema, allergies and reactive skin conditions. The Resque Camphor Cream offers the additional benefit of Camphor’s cooling, decongestant and antiseptic properties — making it a broader daily moisturising and multi-benefit treatment cream.
Q: How does this work as a decongestant?
A: When rubbed into the chest and throat, body heat warms the cream and releases Camphor vapours that rise toward the airways. Inhaling these vapours helps loosen mucus, relieve nasal and chest congestion and ease breathing difficulty.
Q: Is this safe for children?
A: Yes. The Resque Camphor Cream is suitable for the whole family. As with all products containing Camphor, keep out of reach of young children and avoid applying near the face of infants. Consult a healthcare professional if in doubt before use on very young children.
Q: Can I use this for eczema?
A: Yes. The anti-inflammatory properties of both Camphor and Rooibos Extract provide meaningful soothing relief from the itching, dryness and discomfort of eczema. For severe or persistent eczema, consult a healthcare professional alongside using this product.
Q: Does this feel greasy after application?
A: No. The Resque Camphor Cream is specifically formulated to be non-greasy — absorbing comfortably into the skin and leaving it feeling nourished and protected rather than heavy or oily after use.
Q: Can I use this every day?
A: Yes. The Resque Camphor Cream is designed for daily use as a regular moisturising and skin-protective treatment — gentle enough for everyday application across the whole family.
