Heliocare 360° Water Gel SPF50+ | Hydrating, No White Cast Sunscreen
A water-based, intensely hydrating SPF50+ gel that absorbs quickly and dries to a completely clear, matte finish — with no white cast, greasiness, or residue. One of the most universally wearable sunscreens in the Heliocare range, the Water Gel suits all skin types and tones, making it a standout daily SPF for those who have struggled to find a sunscreen that works on deeper or darker complexions.
Water-based hydration system
Unlike gel-cream or fluid formulas, the Water Gel uses a water-based delivery system paired with a long-lasting hydration complex — including sodium hyaluronate and arginine — to maintain skin moisture throughout the day without heaviness or occlusion. The result is skin that feels genuinely comfortable to wear, not tight, not greasy, and not congested.
Key ingredients: ASPA-Fernblock® | Sodium Hyaluronate | Arginine | Vitamins C & E | Green Tea Extract | Roxisomes (DNA repair enzymes) | Biomimetic Melanin | SPF50+ / PA++++
Suitable for: All skin types · All skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–VI) · Sensitive skin · Sensitive eyes · Oily and combination skin · Men's skincare · Daily use under makeup · Dehydrated skin
Key Benefits
Key Benefits
Full-spectrum protection, zero compromise on texture
Powered by ASPA-Fernblock® antioxidant technology, Heliocare 360° Water Gel provides very high-level, broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB (SPF50+ and PA++++), visible light, and infrared-A radiation — the four sources of daily light-induced skin damage. Fernblock® neutralises free radicals, supports the skin's natural DNA repair mechanisms, and helps prevent the cumulative photo-damage that causes premature ageing, uneven skin tone, and hyperpigmentation.
Clear finish — suitable for all skin tones
Upon application, the gel appears white but absorbs within seconds to a completely clear, satin-matte finish with no white cast. This makes the Water Gel an excellent choice for medium to deeper skin tones (Fitzpatrick types III–VI) and for men who prefer a skincare-style product that disappears into the skin.
Tested for sensitive skin and sensitive eyes
Dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested, the Water Gel is non-comedogenic, water-resistant, and suitable for daily use around the eye area — particularly useful for those who find standard sunscreens uncomfortable near the eyes.
Who It Is For
Who It Is For
The Heliocare 360° Water Gel SPF50+ is the best choice in the Heliocare range for anyone who has struggled with white cast from previous sunscreens — particularly those with medium, deep, or dark skin tones. Its completely clear finish makes it one of the few SPF50+ sunscreens that disappear without a trace on Fitzpatrick types III–VI. It is also widely used by men as a daily SPF, given its skincare-like texture and invisible finish.
For dry or dehydrated skin, the Water Gel's hydrating formula makes it a strong everyday SPF without the need for a separate moisturiser. For oily skin that still needs hydration, the Heliocare 360° Gel Oil-Free offers a more aggressively mattifying alternative.
How To Use
How To Use
Shake well before use. Apply two finger lengths of product to clean, dry skin on the face, spreading evenly up to the hairline and around the eye area. The gel applies white and absorbs to a completely clear finish within seconds — do not rub in too quickly. Allow to absorb fully before applying makeup. Reapply every two hours during sun exposure, and after swimming, sweating, or towelling dry

Heliocare® 360° Water Gel SPF 50+ is a great sun protection product. Very light fluid, and is easy to use. It easily absorbes into the facial skin, and does not leave any white streaks like some sun products do. I have very sensitive skin and use this product all year round.
