Ingredient Profiles
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.
NeoStrata Mandelic Clarifying Cleanser
The NeoStrata Mandelic Clarifying Cleanser is a professional-grade, soap-free foaming gel designed to transform oily and blemish-prone complexions. By utilizing a sophisticated blend of Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Polyhydroxy Acids (PHAs), this formula effectively targets the root causes of congestion. Mandelic Acid, a lipophilic AHA, works in harmony with Salicylic Acid to penetrate deep into the pores, dissolving excess sebum and debris. Clinical reviews highlight the efficacy of Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs) like Salicylic Acid in managing blemish-prone skin (EuropePMC).
Unlike harsh cleansers that strip the skin, this formulation includes Gluconolactone, a PHA that provides gentle exfoliation while strengthening the skin's moisture barrier. This ensures that while you achieve a refined texture, your skin remains resilient and hydrated. For those integrating this into a post-procedure regimen, expert consensus supports the use of specialized cleansers to optimize skin quality and recovery (EuropePMC). To maintain your results and protect newly exfoliated skin, we recommend following with a high-protection sunscreen like the /shop/heliocare-360-fluid-cream-spf-50.
Safety & Application
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

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.
