Description

Heliocare Gelcream Color SPF 50 (Light) is a high photo-immunoprotection broad spectrum gel-cream sunscreen with a light colour which is ideal for daily use and gives the skin a radiant glow. It helps to prevent the formation of pigmentation and other signs of visible photo-ageing.  Recommended for all skin types.

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 Recommendation: Heliocare Gelcream Color is a creamy gel sunblock formulation with a light colour tint that has a great feel-good factor for the skin. Many people use it as a light-cover foundation as it provides both advanced UV protection together with skin tone enhancement and correction. It can also be used after aesthetic procedures to provide protection, cover pigmentation, and lessen the effect of medication-induced photosensitivity. It is also available in Heliocare Gelcream Color SPF 50 Brown.

    This is probably my 7th bottle! I use it everyday as a 2 in 1 foundation and SPF. I only have compliments for this product!

    Great product. Been using it for a couple of years now. I use it as a foundation. Just remember not to get it into your eyes. It burns like hell

    Absolutely love this product. I don’t use foundation and this is perfect for little coverage that leaves my skin feeling really lovely. Really like the smell too. I wear this sunscreen everyday – it’s great!

    Tried this because I liked the higher SPF and some of the other qualities. Nice but I will go back to the Bioderma Sensibio AR BB Cream.

    Love this product! I wear it as my ‘foundation’ every day and love the glow it gives. It can burn your eyes, especially if applied too close to the eye area, but I am currently on my 4th tube and will continue purchasing!

    Love this product! I have fair skin and this blends in perfectly. I was worried about eye sensitivity, but I have no issues whatsoever.

    Got this as a sample in one of my Dermastore orders and haven’t looked back! In general I don’t wear foundation daily (my skin doesn’t like it), but still want that ‘look’ and coverage. This is beautiful on the skin, dewy finish, has a natural look with light coverage, and evens out skin tone.

    A new product to my routine, but i prefer the xf or normal gel heliocare. It was really nice to have a tinted spf for a bit.

    Love this sunscreen so much- but it seems I have the exact same problem as other reviewers here. It starts really hurting and burning my eyes after it has been on for over an hour- even if kept away from the eye area.

    A fabulous combination product of sunscreen with foundation. I use it everyday under my makeup. On the weekends when I feel like giving my skin a break, I just use the tinted sunscreen which has enough coverage to cover a pimple or two or a spot of pigmentation. Highly recommend!
