Annique Forever Young Revitalising Cream – 50ml

A time-tested anti-ageing tonic that helps skin make its own collagen and hold onto moisture again.

Some creams come and go with the season. This one has been on South African dressing tables since the mid nineteen seventies, when Annique first put it among the earliest products in the range. It is still one of the company’s top sellers, and it is widely seen as the flagship of the Forever Young family: a restoring, renewing, rejuvenating cream for skin that has lost bounce, moisture, or that fresh, healthy glow. If you have ever wished for a treatment that works with the skin rather than sitting on top of it, this is the cream that reputation was built on.

The idea behind it is simple, and it is different from slathering collagen onto the surface. Collagen is vital for the creation of new cells, but only the body’s own collagen is effective for that work. The principal aim of Forever Young Revitalising Cream is therefore to restore the cell’s ability to produce its own collagen and elastin, help it retain moisture as though it were younger skin, and support a faster cell replacement cycle. Used as a treatment layer, it nourishes while your moisturiser hydrates. Those are two jobs, not one, and they should not be collapsed into a single jar.

Please take the pairing seriously. This cream should never be used without an Annique moisturiser on top. That is how you unlock its anti-ageing potential and give skin both nourishment and hydration. For aged and dehydrated skins, combine it with Forever Young Anti-Ageing Serum – 30ml as well. Think of the Revitalising Cream as a tonic that enhances the rest of your Annique routine rather than a cream you wear on its own. It is effectively supported by other products from the same house, which is why the application order matters as much as the formula itself.

A Collagen Restoring Cream for Every Skin Type

The formula pairs Annique’s exclusive extract of Rooibos, included for its hypo-allergenic and antioxidant qualities, with the plant-based active VNA10+. Scientific tests have demonstrated that this plant extract is far superior to other actives in its class. Dermatological tests have shown that the anti-allergenic, non-irritating formula is suitable even for the most sensitive skins. D-Panthenol, also known as Vitamin B5, is great for hydrating and protecting the skin. Lanolin supports comfort on the surface. Vitamin E is known to help with repairing tissue. Together they have stood the test of time for more than forty-five years as a quality age-defying product.

Every woman wants a product that will slow down the first signs of ageing, or repair and restore damage already done, so that she can look good at any age. Be proactive about preventing and reducing those signs, and introduce this cream into your regime as soon as it makes sense for your skin. In a four week independent panel test with fifty-nine participants, ninety-five percent said their skin felt in good condition, ninety-three percent said it looked and felt nourished, eighty-five percent said it looked and felt renewed, eighty-five percent said it looked visibly restored, and seventy-one percent said their skin looked plumper after using the product. Those results help explain why it is still recommended for dull, lifeless, or aged skin, and for anyone who would rather stay ahead of premature ageing than chase it later.

It can be used at any age and is recommended for any skin type. Skin cells are restored and rejuvenated to give that elusive fresh, healthy, glowing look. If you are younger than twenty-five, three times a week is enough to stay quietly ahead of the first changes. From twenty-five to thirty-five, once daily keeps collagen and moisture support in the routine. From thirty-five onwards, twice daily gives mature skin the extra restoration it asks for. After Skin Detox, spread a small amount — about a quarter of a teaspoon — over the palms and press it onto the whole face, the neck at the front and back, and the chest. Press whatever remains onto the tops of the hands, then follow with your moisturiser. The result you are after is not a heavy mask of product. It is skin that looks restored, replenished, and quietly younger in its own right, morning and evening, for as long as you keep the habit.

Because it is a tonic, it earns its place in a full routine rather than replacing the moisturiser you already trust. Press, do not rub, so the film sits evenly. Give the treatment a moment on the skin, then lock it in. Used this way, Forever Young Revitalising Cream remains what it has always been: a practical, South African anti-ageing cream that asks the skin to do what younger skin does naturally — hold water, make collagen, and look like itself at its best.
