Miracle Tissue Oil – A South African Icon in Every Drop

In a world filled with skin care promises, only a few products truly earn the title miracle. Annique’s Miracle Tissue Oil is one of them.

For over a decade, it has become a South African beauty essential — loved for its ability to restore, heal and transform skin of all types, tones and ages.

Whether you’re targeting stretchmarks, scars, dryness or dullness, this golden elixir delivers nature-meets-science performance, powered by Rooibos and nutrient-rich plant oils you can trust.

What Is Tissue Oil?

Tissue oil is a specialised skin-care oil formulated to nourish, repair and improve the appearance of skin texture and tone. Unlike ordinary oils, tissue oils are infused with a blend of vitamins, essential fatty acids and antioxidants that work together to:

• Support skin regeneration and elasticity
• Help reduce the look of scars, stretchmarks and uneven tone
• Replenish moisture and strengthen the skin barrier

Think of tissue oil as intensive care for your skin — lightweight, fast-absorbing and designed to support healing and hydration from the inside out.

Annique’s Miracle Tissue Oil takes this one step further by combining the power of Rooibos with plant oils like sweet almond, baobab, soybean and rosehip, creating a multi-purpose oil that’s both luxurious and effective.

What Sets Miracle Tissue Oil Apart

1. Rooibos-Infused Formula
   Unlike ordinary tissue oils, Miracle Tissue Oil is enriched with Rooibos — a powerful antioxidant unique to South Africa that helps calm, protect and renew the skin.
2. Lightweight Dry-Oil Texture
   It absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue, making it ideal for everyday use — even in warm climates.
3. Multi-Oil Complex
   A precise blend of sweet almond, rosehip, baobab and soybean oils delivers essential fatty acids and vitamin E to nourish, smooth and support skin elasticity.
4. Proven Performance
   Independent panel tests confirmed visible improvements in skin-tone, texture and stretchmark appearance, with 85% of users noting fast absorption and no stickiness.
5. Versatile Care
   From dryness and uneven tone to scars and stretchmarks, Miracle Tissue Oil is a single solution for multiple skin concerns — restoring comfort, glow and confidence.

What an Independent Panel Test Shows

In a formal panel test of 52 independent testers, self-assessed feedback revealed:

• 85% said the product was absorbed quickly
• 79% said it did not feel sticky
• 71% reported it reduced the appearance of stretchmarks
• 67% noted a reduction in uneven skin-tone
• 51% said it helped reduce the appearance of scars
• 0% reported adverse reactions

These results confirm why Miracle Tissue Oil has earned its reputation — it works gently but effectively, leaving skin comforted, nourished and visibly improved over time.

Real Reviews

“It really leaves my skin feeling soft and glowing. It absorbs very quickly and has a non-greasy glow effect. It even reduces the appearance of stretchmarks.”
— Doreen

“This oil is a game-changer for me! I had dark spots on my arms and started using Miracle Tissue Oil daily. Now I get so many compliments — my skin looks radiant and even. I’m hooked!”
— Marina

Why It Works

• Rooibos-infused oil – Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, helping to calm and protect the skin.
• Plant-based oils – Sweet almond, rosehip, baobab and soybean oils deliver essential fatty acids that strengthen the skin barrier and promote elasticity.
• Vitamin E – Acts as a protective antioxidant, supporting cell regeneration and helping maintain skin suppleness.
• Dry-oil texture – Fast-absorbing and non-greasy, suitable for everyday use on face, body, hands or hair.

 How to Use

• Face & body: Apply 2–3 drops to clean, slightly damp skin. Massage into scars, stretchmarks, dry patches or areas needing nourishment.
• Hair treatment: Apply Rooibos Miracle Tissue Oil to dry hair and scalp, wet a towel with hot water, and wrap it around your head. Leave on for 15 minutes and shampoo and dry hair as normal.
• Daily routine: Use morning and night before moisturiser or add a few drops to your favourite Annique Rooibos body lotion.
• Pro Tip: Add a few drops to your beauty blender before applying foundation to prevent the blender absorbing too much foundation and provide a nourishing glow.

Consistency is key — daily use supports smoother, softer, more resilient skin over time.

Annique Rooibos Miracle Tissue Oil isn’t just another skin care product — it’s skin restoration in a bottle. With its blend of Rooibos antioxidants, plant oils and proven absorption, it supports nourishment, elasticity and lasting comfort. When used consistently as part of a balanced routine, your skin feels replenished, radiant and renewed.

Retinol: The Gold Standard in Nighttime Skin Renewal

What is Retinol — and why does it matter?

Here’s how it works, in simplified terms:

• As skin ages, its natural cell turnover slows down; dead skin cells tend to accumulate, collagen synthesis drops and elasticity declines.
• Retinol stimulates fibroblasts and collagen production, encouraging new skin formation and improving firmness.
• It accelerates the shedding of dull, dead surface cells (exfoliation), unveiling fresher, more even-toned skin beneath.
• Over time, it helps diminish fine lines, reduce hyperpigmentation (age spots, sun damage) and refine pore size.

Why Annique’s Forever Young Retinol Night Treatment Stands Out

Key Features & Ingredients:

• Ceramides: help fortify the lipid barrier of the skin, reducing moisture loss and buffering irritation.
• Vitamin E: antioxidant to help neutralize free radicals and support healing.
• Rooibos: Annique’s signature botanical ingredient—gentle, hypoallergenic, calming to inflammation, antioxidant-rich.

2. Use in the Right Order

• Use retinol only at night
• Cleanse gently (non-stripping, non-exfoliating) at night only
• Apply the Retinol Night Treatment (small amount, face & neck)
• Follow with serum / Skin Detox / other Forever Young products (if applicable)
• Seal in with your night cream to lock in moisture and protect barrier
• Apply your Annique Moisturiser if required. This step is highly recommended for dry and mature skin types.

3. Daytime Protection & Lifestyle Support

• Sunscreen daily, without fail: Retinol may increase UV sensitivity, so a broad-spectrum SPF is non-negotiable.
• Avoid combining with harsh actives at first (strong acids, physical scrubs)
• Support skin with good hydration, diet, minimizing stress and sleep disruption (skin repairs best overnight)

4. Be Patient & Consistent

Visible improvements often emerge after 4 to 6 weeks of regular use.

What You Can Expect Over Time

• Those noticing early fine lines, dullness, uneven tone, enlarged pores
• Anyone aiming for preventive or corrective anti-ageing
• People with some skin resilience (not extreme sensitivity) 

Who should avoid or take extra caution:

• During pregnancy or breastfeeding (retinoids are contraindicated)
• On broken, sunburned, or severely irritated skin
• Those using aggressive treatments (e.g. strong peels, high-dose acids) concurrently
• If known hypersensitivity to vitamin A derivatives

• Calm redness and inflammation
• Enhance antioxidant defence
• Reduce the irritation potential of retinoids

• Retinol is a foundational, scientifically respected ingredient — but it demands respect in use.
• A well-crafted formula like Annique’s, which blends strong and gentle retinoid forms with barrier- and soothing actives, gives you a better balance of efficacy and tolerance.
• The pathway to luminous, healthier-looking skin is a marathon, not a sprint: patience, consistency, protection and support are your allies.
• Educating your skin (slow introduction), protecting it (sunscreen, barrier care) and supporting it (moisturisers, antioxidants) are just as important as the “hero” ingredient itself.

Rethink Cleansing

Discover the Annique Rooibos Way

When it comes to skin care, one of the most debated steps is cleansing. Many people start and end their day with a face wash, believing more cleansing means cleaner skin. But over-cleansing may be doing your skin more harm than good.

At Annique Rooibos, we do things differently - and it’s backed by over 54 years of skin care wisdom.

We recommend cleansing only once a day, at night.

The Case for Night-Only Cleansing

Cleansing your skin too often can disrupt its natural pH and protective barrier. Your skin works hard to maintain balance, and stripping it of natural oils with multiple daily washes can result in:

• Increased dryness or sensitivity
• An overproduction of oil (as your skin tries to compensate)
• Disruption of the skin’s microbiome and barrier
• Premature signs of ageing

Cleansing at night removes the day’s buildup of pollution, make-up, sweat, excess oil and bacteria, creating a clean slate for your treatment products to work more effectively while your skin regenerates overnight.

In the morning, a simple rinse with lukewarm Rooibos-infused water is enough to refresh your skin without compromising its delicate balance.
