Description

Heliocare Advanced Gel SPF 50 (Oil-Free) is a topical sun protection gel in an innovative lightweight formulation that is quickly and uniformly absorbed to protect the skin against daily environmental challenges. Suitable for normal, combination, and oily skins.

Key Ingredients include Fernblock® with powerful protective, antioxidant and restorative action. Its active ingredients act on all four types of radiation (UVB, UVA, Visible and IR). There is an optimal balance between mineral and non-mineral filters to ensure maximum tolerability and cosmetic compliance. Sunsphere Technology increases the effectiveness of the filters, permitting reduced quantities of filters and thus lowering the potential risk of sensitization and allergies and improving cosmetic characteristics. Non-comedogenic. Contains a fragrance.

Dr Webster’s Recommendations: Heliocare Advanced Gel is an innovative sunscreen offering photo-immunoprotection against UVB/UVA radiation while enhancing skin immunity. The natural antioxidants help to protect the skin from free radical activity. This is a good sunscreen for younger skins to prevent photo-ageing and the formation of skin cancer but if you have more advanced photo-ageing or pigmentation, then I would recommend the Heliocare 360 Gel Oil-Free which has superior antioxidant benefits.

    I love this sunscreen – having acne prone skin and living in a humid environment, I am always nervous of changing my sunscreens, however this sunscreen is perfect! It isn’t too thick and heavy, but it doesn’t feel too dry… it’s just right 🙂 It also provides great protection against the sun and it works really well when applied under makeup. I’m really happy with it!

    Amazing sunscreen, the smell is the best, the only problem here is that the sunscreen isn’t rated PA++++ and it stains clothes, which is why I’ve changed to another sunscreen

    This is the best sunscreen I’ve ever purchased. It doesn’t leave a cast on my skin – it actually is also a great primer for makeup. It doesn’t irritate my skin and has made a major difference in protecting it from burning and pigmentation. What’s more is that it has a very mild but pleasant smell.

    My favourite sunscreen. I’ve tried so many and finally found the one! Doesn’t sting the eyes, dewy almost airbrushed finish, and smooth, creamy texture.

    Amazing SPF, I absolutely love the creamy consistency.
    Layers well under sheer foundations, best to let sink in completely before next step in routine.
    Smells like Marula fruit ✨
    Keeps skin fair and protected from the sun, would highly recommend!

    I love this sunscreen!! I really have a hard time finding sunscreens that don’t leave me shiny or burns eyes. No issues with this one – it absorbs beautifully. This will definitely be a repeat order!

    This is it. This is THE ONE. I’ve tried a thousand types of sunscreen and finally found my go-to. I have oily/ blemish-prone skin and many sunscreens are too greasy, but then the ones formulated for oily skin often leave my skin feeling too dry and tight, or don’t rub in easily. This one is a perfect balance. Doesn’t make me break out, but also feels refreshing and leaves my skin with enough moisture. LOVE
