Heliocare Gelcream Colour Light SPF 50
Unveil a flawless, radiant complexion while providing your skin with ultimate protection. The Heliocare Gelcream Colour Light SPF 50 is a multi-tasking marvel that combines high-level sun protection with the skin-perfecting benefits of a natural foundation. This non-oily, hydrating fluid is expertly designed to mask uneven skin tone and blemishes, leaving a healthy, bronzed glow that lasts all day.
At the heart of this formulation is Polypodium Leucotomos Leaf Extract, a powerful photobiological protectant clinically proven to defend against oxidative stress and solar radiation (Clinical Study). To ensure your skin remains plump and youthful, it features Sodium Hyaluronate for deep hydration and Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) to bolster the skin's natural barrier against environmental aggressors (Clinical Evidence).
Whether you are looking for daily photoageing protection or a post-procedure skin enhancer, this gel-cream provides a seamless, dewy finish. For those seeking advanced water-resistance or oil-free options, consider the Heliocare 360 Airgel SPF 50 or the Heliocare 360 Fluid Cream SPF 50.

Heliocare Oral Capsules
Unveil a resilient, radiant complexion from the inside out with Heliocare Oral Capsules. Formulated with the revolutionary Polypodium Leucotomos Leaf Extract (Fernblock®), these supplements provide a vital secondary layer of protection against free radical damage caused by UV radiation. Clinically proven to enhance the skin's natural defences (Clinical Study), they are particularly effective for individuals prone to sun-induced sensitivities or Polymorphic Light Eruption (PLE). By neutralising oxidative stress, this internal supplement helps maintain DNA integrity and prevents premature Ageing. The addition of Niacinamide and Tocopheryl Acetate further supports the skin barrier and overall health. For maximum efficacy, always pair these capsules with a high-protection topical like Heliocare 360 Airgel SPF 50. Discover more about the synergy of these ingredients in our clinical deep-dive.
Safety & Application
Directions
Shake well before use. Apply approximately two full finger lengths of product to the face, ensuring even distribution. Pay close attention to the hairline and the area around the eyes. For sustained protection, reapply every 2 hours during high sun exposure, or immediately after sweating, swimming, or towel-drying. This product serves as an excellent adjunctive step in a routine containing [Niacinamide](/ingredients/niacinamide) to support overall skin health ([Clinical Study](https://europepmc.org/article/MED/41923969)).
Safety Notice
For external use only. Avoid direct contact with the eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. High-factor sunscreens are essential for preventing photoageing, but over-supplementation of certain vitamins should be monitored by a professional ([Clinical Reference](https://europepmc.org/article/MED/41278416)). Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Directions
Take one capsule daily in the morning, approximately 30 minutes before sun exposure. During periods of high intensity or prolonged exposure, a second capsule can be taken 4-6 hours later. **Note:** These capsules are a supplement and MUST be used in conjunction with a topical sunscreen such as [Heliocare 360 Fluid Cream SPF 50](/shop/heliocare-360-fluid-cream-spf-50).
Safety Notice
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of children. While antioxidants support skin health, over-supplementation of fat-soluble vitamins should be monitored ([Clinical Review](https://europepmc.org/article/MED/41278416)). If pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication, consult your doctor before use. This product does not replace the need for topical SPF.
