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.

What It Does

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 two powerful actives — Camphor and Rooibos Extract. Camphor brings warming, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and decongestant properties that soothe the skin, relax the body and mind and provide a lasting feeling of freshness and calm. 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, this is a practical and effective addition to any home first aid and daily skincare routine.

Key Ingredients & Benefits

Camphor A multi-functional herbal active with a long history of therapeutic use. Camphor provides warming 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.

Rooibos Extract (Aspalathus Linearis) Annique’s exclusive signature ingredient. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the Resque Crème? While both products provide soothing relief for dry and irritated skin, they work in different ways. 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 warming, decongestant and antiseptic properties — making it a broader daily moisturising and multi-benefit treatment cream as well as a skin comfort product.

How does this work as a decongestant? 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 — similar in principle to a vapour rub but in a nourishing cream format.

Is this safe for children? 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.

Can I use this for eczema? 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.

Does this feel greasy after application? 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.

Can I use this every day? Yes. The Resque Camphor Cream is designed for daily use on dry, rough and chapped skin as a regular moisturising and skin-protective treatment. It is gentle enough for everyday application across the whole family.
