Ingredient Profiles
Heliocare 360 Fluid Cream SPF 50+
Unveil a more resilient, radiant complexion with Heliocare 360 Fluid Cream SPF 50+, a sophisticated formulation that represents the new era in dermatological sun protection. This rich, daily-use cream utilizes an advanced moisturizing complex to contrast dryness, leaving the skin feeling exceptionally soft with a healthy, dewy finish. Beyond standard UV filters, it features the proprietary Bioshield System and Polypodium Leucotomos Leaf Extract (Fernblock® FC), which are clinically proven to provide broad-spectrum defense against UVA, UVB, Visible Light, and Infrared-A (Clinical Study).
Infused with potent antioxidants like Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) and Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), this fluid cream not only shields the skin but actively works to repair solar damage and prevent premature Ageing. For those seeking the ultimate anti-ageing regimen, the synergy of these ingredients is explored further in our comprehensive guide to antioxidant protection.
NeoStrata Enlighten Illuminating Serum
The NeoStrata Enlighten Illuminating Serum is a high-potency, multi-action concentrate designed to target the appearance of hyperpigmentation caused by UV exposure, hormonal fluctuations, and the natural ageing process. This silky serum features a sophisticated blend of 12 active brighteners that work synergistically to break up existing dark spots and discourage the formation of new discoloration.
At the heart of the formula is patented NeoGlucosamine® (Acetyl Glucosamine), a non-acid amino sugar that gently exfoliates the skin's surface to fade the look of existing pigment. This is bolstered by Niacinamide, a powerhouse ingredient clinically recognized for its ability to improve skin barrier function and even out skin tone. Research published in EuropePMC highlights the efficacy of Niacinamide as a versatile cosmeceutical for improving skin clarity and managing inflammatory responses.
To further enhance luminosity, the serum incorporates Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, a stable form of Vitamin C, alongside B-Resorcinol and Liquorice Extract. These antioxidants provide critical protection against environmental aggressors. Clinical reviews on EuropePMC suggest that the concomitant use of antioxidant-rich dermo-cosmetic serums can significantly optimize skin quality and recovery when used alongside professional aesthetic procedures. For those with oily or congested skin, this serum pairs perfectly with the NeoStrata Mandelic Clarifying Cleanser to maintain a refined, clear complexion.
Safety & Application
Directions
Shake the bottle well before use. Apply approximately two full finger lengths of product to the face and neck, ensuring even coverage up to the hairline and around the eyes. Apply as the final step in your morning skincare routine, either on top of or in place of your daily moisturiser. Reapply every 2–3 hours during periods of high sun exposure, or immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel-drying to maintain optimal protection levels.
Safety Notice
For external use only. Avoid direct contact with the eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Sunscreen is a critical component of periprocedural care, helping to optimize recovery and aesthetic outcomes ([Expert Panel Recommendations](https://europepmc.org/article/MED/41773167)). While antioxidants like [Vitamin C and E](/ingredients/tocopheryl-acetate) provide significant topical benefits, users should be mindful of over-supplementation in their broader diet ([Safety Review](https://europepmc.org/article/MED/41278416)). Discontinue use if irritation develops.
Directions
Apply a pea-sized amount of serum morning and evening after cleansing to the face, neck, and décolletage. Massage gently into the skin. This serum can be used alone or layered under a targeted moisturiser like [NeoStrata Sheer Hydration SPF40](/shop/neostrata-sheer-hydration-spf40). For maximum results, ensure consistent application and always follow with high-level sun protection during the day.
Safety Notice
For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
