Ingredient Profiles
Heliocare Ultra-D Capsules
Elevate your daily photoprotection with Heliocare Ultra-D Capsules, the ultimate internal defense against environmental aggressors. Formulated with a high concentration of Polypodium Leucotomos Leaf Extract (Fernblock®), these capsules provide systemic antioxidant support to defend the skin's underlying architecture from the inside out. Unlike standard Heliocare Oral Capsules, the Ultra-D variant is supercharged with Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol), ensuring your body maintains optimal levels even when using high-factor topical sunscreens.
Clinical evidence highlights the importance of antioxidant supplementation in maintaining skin quality and radiance. By neutralizing free radicals generated by UVA, UVB, visible light, and infrared-A, this formula helps reduce the risk of sun-induced Ageing and supports the skin's natural immunological functions. It is particularly beneficial for those prone to sun-sensitive reactions, providing an extra layer of resilience during periods of high UV exposure. For comprehensive protection, always pair with a topical Heliocare 360 Airgel SPF 50.
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.
