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 Oily Skin Solution
Reclaim a refined, matte complexion with the NeoStrata Oily Skin Solution, a high-potency hydroalcoholic toner designed for blemish-prone and congested skin. Formulated with a concentrated 8% Glycolic Acid, this solution acts as a powerful chemical exfoliant that dissolves the cellular bonds trapping sebum and debris within the pores. By normalising the skin’s natural exfoliation process, it effectively targets clogged pores and reduces surface lipids, a process supported by clinical evidence regarding the efficacy of AHAs in managing oily skin environments. Beyond immediate oil management, this 'workhorse' AHA promotes a smoother texture and diminishes the visibility of fine lines, making it an essential step for those addressing both congestion and early signs of ageing. In clinical trials, 97% of users reported a significant reduction in oiliness and shine after four weeks. For a comprehensive clarifying routine, pair this solution with the NeoStrata Mandelic Clarifying Cleanser to deeply purify the skin while maintaining essential balance.
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
After cleansing, apply the solution to the face, chest, back, or other oily areas using a cotton ball or fingertips. For the first two weeks, apply once daily; if well-tolerated, increase frequency to twice daily. This product can be used throughout the day to refresh the skin and manage midday shine. Because Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) increase sun sensitivity, it is mandatory to follow application with a high-protection broad-spectrum sunscreen like [Heliocare 360° Airgel SPF 50](/shop/heliocare-360-airgel-spf-50) to prevent UV-induced damage, as highlighted in [expert recommendations](https://europepmc.org/article/MED/41773167) for active skincare regimens.
Safety Notice
Contains 8% Glycolic Acid. Not recommended for sensitive skin. A mild tingling sensation is normal upon application. **Sunburn Alert:** This product contains an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and the possibility of sunburn. Limit sun exposure and use protective clothing while using this product and for one week afterwards. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. For post-exfoliation skin support, consider incorporating [Tocopheryl Acetate](/ingredients/tocopheryl-acetate) into your evening routine to aid the moisture barrier.
