Facial sunscreen gel
Description
Heliocare Gel SPF 50 (Heliocare Advanced Gel SPF 50) is an oil-free, light beige, cream-like gel sunscreen that provides high-level broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB radiation. The elegant, lightweight gel texture is easy to apply, quickly absorbed and virtually invisible on the skin, encouraging comfortable daily use for all skin types. An advanced combination of mineral and non-mineral UV filters is complemented by Fernblock, a patented Polypodium leucotomos extract with strong antioxidant and photoimmunoprotective properties, together with green tea extract, vitamin E and other antioxidants. The formula also includes Ultrasomes (DNA-repair enzymes) and Sunspheres to enhance the effectiveness of the UV filters, helping to protect cellular DNA, neutralise free radicals and prevent signs of photoageing such as pigmentation, fine lines and loss of elasticity.
