Ingredient Profiles
Heliocare Gelcream Colour Brown SPF 50
Heliocare Gelcream Colour Brown SPF 50 is a sophisticated, multi-tasking formulation that unveils radiant skin while providing elite-level protection against UV damage. This non-oily, hydrating fluid expertly combines advanced mineral and non-mineral filters to safeguard the complexion from photoageing. At its core is the clinically-proven Polypodium Leucotomos Leaf Extract, a powerful botanical antioxidant that helps prevent and repair skin damage caused by solar radiation (Clinical Study).
Designed to act as a breathable foundation, it masks uneven skin tone and blemishes with a healthy, bronzed look. The inclusion of Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) enhances the formula's antioxidant profile, protecting against environmental stressors (Clinical Study). For those with specific texture preferences, this product pairs beautifully with the Heliocare 360 Fluid Cream SPF 50 for a more matte alternative.

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 well before use. Apply approximately two full finger lengths of product to the face, ensuring even distribution. Extend coverage to the hairline and around the eyes, taking care to avoid direct contact with the eyes. Reapply every 2 hours during periods of high sun exposure, or immediately after sweating, swimming, or towel-drying the skin.
Safety Notice
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Discontinue use if irritation develops. While this product contains antioxidants like Vitamin E, users should be mindful of total supplement intake to avoid toxicity ([Clinical Study](https://europepmc.org/article/MED/41278416)). This product is an excellent adjunctive for those managing blemish-prone skin alongside traditional skincare routines ([Clinical Study](https://europepmc.org/article/MED/41923969)).
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.
