FAQ

Q: How does Fernblock Technology differ from standard UV filters?
A: Whilst traditional UV filters work by absorbing or reflecting UV radiation at the skin's surface, Fernblock Technology provides biological photoprotection that works at a cellular level. It activates the skin's natural immune defences, neutralises free radicals, prevents DNA damage, and supports repair processes. Clinical research demonstrates that Fernblock can boost the efficacy of UV filters by up to 14%, providing protection that extends beyond traditional SPF measures.

Q: Is this spray suitable for facial use?
A: The Heliocare Advanced Spray is specifically formulated for body application. For facial sun protection, we recommend exploring the dedicated Heliocare facial formulations which are designed with facial skin's unique needs in mind. Speak to our skincare experts for personalised recommendations based on your skin type and concerns.

Q: How water-resistant is this formulation?
A: Heliocare Advanced Spray is water-resistant, meaning it maintains a significant level of protection during water activities. However, as with all sunscreens, reapplication is essential after swimming, excessive sweating, or towel drying to ensure continuous protection. For optimal results, reapply every 2 hours during periods of high sun exposure.

Q: Can I use this if I have sensitive or reactive skin?
A: Yes, Heliocare Advanced Spray is dermatologically tested and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. The formulation has been specifically evaluated for safety and tolerability. However, if you have a history of severe reactions to sun care products or known allergies to any of the ingredients listed, we recommend consulting our skincare experts or performing a patch test before full application.

Q: How quickly will I see protection, and how long does it last?
A: For optimal protection, apply the spray 20 minutes before sun exposure to allow proper absorption and film formation. SPF50 protection is effective immediately upon proper application. The duration of protection depends on various factors including sun intensity, water exposure, perspiration, and physical activity. To maintain consistent protection, reapply every 2 hours during periods of sun exposure and immediately after swimming or towelling.
