Ingredient Profiles
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.

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. 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
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.
