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 Sheer Hydration SPF40
Experience the ultimate dual-action protection with NeoStrata Sheer Hydration SPF40, a lightweight, oil-free daily hydrator engineered specifically for oily and combination skin. This advanced formula provides high-level broad-spectrum protection against the UV rays responsible for Ageing and photo-damage. Infused with NeoGlucosamine (Acetyl Glucosamine), a non-acid amino sugar, it gently exfoliates the skin's surface to promote cell turnover and alleviate the appearance of discolouration and fine lines. Clinical evidence highlights that the consistent use of Sunscreens is essential in periprocedural care to optimize skin recovery and maintain aesthetic results (EuropePMC). The inclusion of Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) provides additional antioxidant support to neutralise free radicals. In a 4-week clinical study, 86% of users reported brighter skin, while 93% noted an improvement in overall skin appearance. For those with active lifestyles, this sheer formula layers perfectly over other Moisturisers without leaving a greasy residue.
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
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.
Directions
Apply liberally (approximately 2 to 3 pumps) to the face and neck daily, at least 15 minutes before sun exposure. For optimal results in oily skin management, use after cleansing with a [Mandelic Acid Cleanser](/shop/neostrata-mandelic-clarifying-cleanser). Reapply at least every 2 hours, or more frequently if swimming or sweating. Research indicates that adjunctive use of targeted cosmeceuticals can significantly improve skin outcomes and reduce the side effects of other topical regimens ([EuropePMC](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. If a rash or irritation develops, discontinue use and consult a professional. Keep out of reach of children. While antioxidants like [Vitamin E](/ingredients/tocopheryl-acetate) are beneficial, users should be aware of their overall supplement and topical intake to avoid sensitivities ([EuropePMC](https://europepmc.org/article/MED/41278416)).
