Ingredient Profiles
Heliocare 360 Airgel SPF 50+
Heliocare 360 Airgel SPF 50+ unveils a new era in dermatological sun protection, offering an innovative, ultra-light foaming mousse that melts into the skin for a weightless, invisible finish. This professional-grade formula provides maximum broad-spectrum defense, making it an essential component of any advanced skincare regimen.
At the heart of this formulation is Fernblock® FC, a potent botanical extract derived from Polypodium leucotomos, clinically shown to protect skin cells and support natural DNA repair mechanisms. This is particularly vital for maintaining skin integrity after professional treatments where the skin barrier requires enhanced protection (Clinical Study).
Enriched with a stabilized form of Vitamin C and Vitamin E, this airgel neutralizes free radicals to dramatically refine texture and prevent the visible signs of photo-ageing. While it is highly suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin due to its non-comedogenic, anti-bacterial technology (Clinical Research), it remains a popular choice for all skin types seeking a non-greasy, refreshing feel.
NeoStrata Enlighten Ultra Brightening Cleanser
The NeoStrata Enlighten Ultra Brightening Cleanser is a high-performance, creamy exfoliating wash designed as the vital first step in your daily brightening regimen. Formulated with a potent 4% concentration of Acetyl Glucosamine, this non-acid amino sugar technology gently resurfaces the skin, targeting the surface cells that cause a mottled and dull appearance. By promoting cellular turnover, it helps to prepare the skin for the maximum absorption of subsequent treatments like the NeoStrata Enlighten Illuminating Serum.
Clinical research emphasizes that a structured dermo-cosmetic routine is essential for maintaining radiant, healthy skin quality (EuropePMC). This cleanser features GigaWhite®, a unique synergy of 7 Alpine Plant Extracts—including Mallow, Peppermint, and Lemon Balm—known for their ability to clarify and even out skin tone. Additionally, the inclusion of Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, a stable form of Vitamin C, provides antioxidant protection to revitalize the complexion. This soap-free formula effectively removes impurities and makeup, leaving the skin feeling refreshed, healthy, and perfectly primed for pigment-correcting actives.
Safety & Application
Directions
Shake the canister well before use. Holding the bottle in an upright position, dispense a small amount into the palm of your hand—the mousse will expand significantly. Apply approximately two full finger lengths of product to the face and neck, ensuring even coverage up to the hairline and around the eyes. Reapply every 2-3 hours during periods of intensive sun exposure, or immediately after swimming, sweating, or towelling the skin to maintain optimal protection levels.
Safety Notice
For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes and mucous membranes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Discontinue use if irritation develops. This is a pressurized container; do not expose to temperatures exceeding 50°C or store in direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. While topical antioxidants like Vitamin E are highly beneficial, patients should be mindful of over-supplementation if using oral variants alongside topical application ([Safety Study](https://europepmc.org/article/MED/41278416)).
Directions
Apply a moderate amount to wet skin and massage gently to cover the entire face and neck. Rinse thoroughly with water. Use twice daily, morning and evening. For optimal results in managing hyperpigmentation, follow with the [NeoStrata Enlighten Illuminating Serum](/shop/neostrata-enlighten-illuminating-serum) and ensure daily application of a broad-spectrum sunscreen such as [Heliocare 360 Fluid Cream SPF 50](/shop/heliocare-360-fluid-cream-spf-50).
Safety Notice
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse well with water. If rash or irritation develops, discontinue use. Clinical studies highlight that the use of exfoliating agents requires diligent sun protection to maintain skin integrity and prevent further UV-induced pigmentation ([EuropePMC](https://europepmc.org/article/MED/41923969)). Keep out of reach of children.
