What our Customers Say
The best testimonial of all - from Pamela Taylor, the original NZ agent for Rooibos African Extracts.
"I stumbled across this product when in Cape Town a number of years ago, at the end of a fantastic camping adventure with my husband and two teenage boys that took us from Victoria Falls in Zambia, down through Botswana, Namibia and South Africa – an awesome experience that we will never forget. After three weeks, I arrived in Cape Town pretty much looking and feeling like a prune. Then at the Cape Town Aquarium, I spied an attractive product on the counter with ROOIBOS in it. Well for two reasons, the word ROOIBOS attracted me.
The first, was because we had been drinking the TEA (a herbal one) the whole holiday. That was the drink supplied by the South African guide. I disliked it at first, but it grew on me and now it is a firm favourite. Our guide was always telling us how good it was ... healthy, babies drink it for colic, no caffeine, good for digestion, good for skin, used for thousands of years....etc etc. The second, was because we had travelled through the Cederburg Mountains; a pristine semi-arid region which happens to be the only place in the world the herb ROOIBOS (red bush) grows. It only grows in its natural environment to which it is perfectly suited.
So all in all, ROOIBOS was a memorable part of my African experience, and I recognised it as a good thing. To cut to the chase – I bought a tube of Day Cream – I could not believe the impact it immediately had on my skin IT WORKED!!!! I bought more products; came home with them, was complemented by friends on my much improved skin (it used to be dull and lumpy), they tried some, they loved it too...... we got more samples.... same response from other women... that was it; I wanted to be part of this! I got the NZ Agency.... "

I suffer from oily skin and no matter what I used in the past, by lunch time I would end up mopping up my face with oil control paper to try and get rid of the "I just threw a bucket of KFC at my face" look. Not cute.
It was by sheer chance that I picked up the vanishing cream from this range about a month ago. I saw the price was cheap, so I bought it as if it turned out to be a dud, at least I wasn't out of pocket! I used it the next morning and was surprised at the feeling of using vanishing cream (so called as it "vanishes" into your skin). It soaked in well and left my skin feeling very matt. I realised that is didn't really moisturise, but it did seem to keep the oiliness at bay. Later that day I got the moisturiser in the range to try out, as that is what I needed in the first place!
I put it on after I cleanse and tone, and then I use the moisturiser after the vanishing cream. Not only do the products leave your skin matt, but they help with pimples too. I always get a monthly breakout without fail, and this month I had nothing! The moisturiser has Salicylic Acid and Baobab extracts which assist in the blemish banishment and it works like a dream. It takes the oil away without leaving your skin dry - to me my face feels sort of velvety afterwards, I just love it!
I honestly cannot get over how good my skin is looking, and I am now able to go out without wearing any foundation or powder to cover up the horrible oily, spotty skin that I had before. These products work like a dream, and I cannot wait until my current facewash and toner run out so that I can replace them with the ones from this range (waste not, want not.)
