Heliocare is a dermatologist-developed sun protection brand built around patented Fernblock® technology — a clinically proven antioxidant complex derived from Polypodium leucotomos, a tropical fern with exceptional natural photoprotective properties. Unlike conventional sunscreens that filter UV rays alone, Heliocare 360° provides full-spectrum defence against UVA, UVB, high-energy visible light (HEVL) and infrared-A radiation — the four primary sources of daily skin damage, including from screens and daylight indoors.

Backed by over 50 published clinical studies, Fernblock® has been proven to neutralise free radicals, support the skin's natural DNA repair mechanisms, and help prevent cumulative photodamage that accelerates skin ageing, hyperpigmentation, and collagen breakdown. It is incorporated into every Heliocare topical sunscreen and oral supplement in the range.

Shop Heliocare by Skin Type

Finding the right Heliocare SPF depends on your skin type and how you wear sun protection day to day:

  • Oily or combination skin — Heliocare 360° Gel Oil-Free SPF50 is the hero product: an ultra-lightweight, non-comedogenic gel with a dry-touch matte finish that controls shine without clogging pores.
  • Acne-prone skin — Heliocare 360° Acnimat SPF50+ is clinically proven to reduce sebum production and mattify skin for over 12 hours, while the ASPA-Fernblock® complex actively supports skin clarity.
  • Sensitive or reactive skin — Heliocare 360° Mineral Tolerance Fluid SPF50 uses mineral-only filters and is fragrance-free, making it suitable for reactive, rosacea-prone, and post-procedure skin.
  • Ageing or mature skin — Heliocare 360° Age Active Fluid SPF50 combines full-spectrum protection with a triple hydration complex and soft-focus light diffusion to reduce the appearance of fine lines.
  • All skin tones — Heliocare 360° Colour range offers tinted SPF50+ formulas that unify the complexion while delivering full-spectrum protection, with no white cast.
  • Sun protection from within — Heliocare oral supplements contain Fernblock® to support antioxidant protection during periods of high sun exposure, working alongside your topical SPF.

Heliocare 360° vs Heliocare Advanced — What's the Difference?

Heliocare 360° is the brand's most advanced photoprotection range, offering SPF50+ and the highest UVA rating (PA++++), with clinically proven protection against visible light and infrared-A in addition to UVA and UVB. It contains next-generation ASPA-Fernblock® technology, combining Fernblock® with Rooibos plant extracts to enhance antioxidant activity and support DNA repair.

Heliocare Advanced offers high-level broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection for everyday use, in a range of comfortable textures. It does not include visible light or infrared-A protection. For daily use in an urban environment — particularly for those concerned with photoageing, pigmentation, or post-treatment skin — Heliocare 360° is the recommended choice.

Frequently Asked Questions — Heliocare Sunscreen

What is Fernblock® technology?

Fernblock® is a patented natural extract of Polypodium leucotomos, a fern native to Central America. It is a clinically proven antioxidant complex that protects against UVA, UVB, visible light, and infrared-A radiation, neutralises free radicals, and supports the skin's natural ability to repair UV-induced DNA damage. It is the key active ingredient in every Heliocare topical sunscreen and oral supplement.

What is the difference between Heliocare 360° and Heliocare Advanced?

Heliocare 360° provides full-spectrum protection against UVA, UVB, visible light (HEVL), and infrared-A radiation, with SPF50+ and PA++++ ratings. It contains ASPA-Fernblock® technology for enhanced antioxidant and DNA repair support. Heliocare Advanced provides high-level UVA and UVB broad-spectrum protection for everyday use but does not include visible light or infrared-A coverage. For those concerned about photoageing, pigmentation, or post-procedure skin, the Heliocare 360° range is recommended.

Which Heliocare SPF is best for oily or acne-prone skin?

Heliocare 360° Gel Oil-Free SPF50 is the most popular choice for oily and combination skin — it is non-comedogenic, absorbs quickly, and leaves a dry-touch matte finish. For acne-prone skin specifically, Heliocare 360° Acnimat SPF50+ is clinically formulated to reduce sebum production by up to 42% and provide a mattifying effect lasting over 12 hours, while its ASPA-Fernblock® complex supports skin clarity.

Can I use Heliocare SPF under makeup?

Yes. Heliocare sunscreens are designed to integrate into your daily skincare routine and can be worn under makeup. Allow the SPF to absorb fully — typically two to three minutes — before applying foundation or tinted moisturiser. Several formulas within the Heliocare 360° Colour range also function as tinted SPF bases in their own right, eliminating the need for a separate foundation step.

Is Heliocare suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. Heliocare 360° Mineral Tolerance Fluid SPF50 is formulated with mineral-only filters and is fragrance-free, making it appropriate for sensitive, reactive, and rosacea-prone skin. It has been dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested. For post-procedure or compromised skin, we recommend booking a complimentary consultation to identify the most appropriate formulation.

Do Heliocare supplements replace topical sunscreen?

No — Heliocare oral supplements are designed to work alongside topical SPF, not replace it. The supplements contain Fernblock® to provide an additional layer of antioxidant protection and support the skin's natural defences against photo-ageing and pigmentation during periods of high sun exposure. Topical SPF remains essential for direct UV protection.

How often should I reapply Heliocare SPF?

As with all sunscreens, Heliocare products should be reapplied every two hours during sun exposure, and more frequently after swimming, towelling dry, or heavy perspiration. A single morning application does not provide all-day protection. For daily urban use with limited direct sun exposure, a morning application is standard practice — though reapplication remains advisable during summer months or periods of extended outdoor activity.

Is Chelleon an authorised UK Heliocare stockist?

Yes. Chelleon is an authorised UK stockist of Heliocare, supplying only genuine products sourced directly from the brand's official UK distribution channel.
