Ingredient Profiles
Heliocare Ultra Capsules
Elevate your daily sun defence with Heliocare Ultra Capsules, a high-potency oral supplement engineered to protect your skin from the inside out. At the heart of this formula is a concentrated 480mg dose of Polypodium Leucotomos Leaf Extract (Fernblock®), a natural botanical with significant clinical evidence supporting its role in photoimmunoprotection. This supplement provides a critical secondary layer of defence against UVA, UVB, visible light, and infrared-A, neutralizing free radicals before they can cause cellular damage.
Specifically formulated for those with high sun sensitivity, these capsules are highly effective at managing Polymorphic Light Eruption (PLE)—the red, blotchy skin reaction often triggered by sun exposure. While the standard Heliocare Oral Capsules provide excellent baseline protection, the Ultra variant is supercharged with Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) and Vitamin C to combat the visible signs of Ageing. The addition of Lutein further assists in protecting ocular health from UV-induced damage, making this an essential nutraceutical for comprehensive environmental resilience.
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
Take one capsule daily in the morning, approximately 30 minutes before sun exposure. During periods of high-intensity sunlight or prolonged outdoor activity, take a second capsule 4–6 hours later. **Crucial Note:** Heliocare Ultra Capsules are designed to complement, not replace, topical sun protection. For maximum efficacy, always use in conjunction with a high-SPF topical such as [Heliocare 360 Airgel SPF 50](/shop/heliocare-360-airgel-spf-50) or [Heliocare 360 Fluid Cream SPF 50](/shop/heliocare-360-fluid-cream-spf-50).
Safety Notice
Do not exceed the stated recommended daily consumption. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. [Clinical reviews of skin supplements](https://europepmc.org/article/MED/41278416) suggest that while antioxidants are beneficial, users should consult a healthcare professional if they are taking other medications, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding. Keep out of reach of young children.
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.
