FAQ

Q: Can HELIOCARE COLOR Gelcream replace both my sunscreen and foundation?

A: Yes, HELIOCARE COLOR Gelcream is specifically designed to combine professional-grade SPF50 sun protection with natural foundation coverage, simplifying your morning routine. The tinted formula provides light to medium coverage suitable for everyday wear, though those requiring heavier coverage may wish to layer additional makeup products on top.

Q: Which shade should I choose - Light or Brown?

A: The Light shade is best suited to Fitzpatrick skin types I-III (fair to light skin tones with minimal tanning response). The Brown shade is recommended for Fitzpatrick skin types IV-V (medium to olive skin tones that tan easily). If you're between shades, our skincare experts can provide personalised guidance to help you select the most appropriate option.

Q: How does Fernblock technology differ from standard UV filters?

A: Whilst traditional UV filters create a protective barrier on the skin's surface, Fernblock technology provides additional cellular-level protection by neutralising free radicals, preventing DNA damage, and supporting the skin's natural repair mechanisms. Backed by over 50 clinical studies, Fernblock offers photoprotection that extends beyond what UV filters alone can achieve, making this a truly comprehensive sun protection product.

Q: Is this product suitable for acne-prone or oily skin?

A: Yes, HELIOCARE COLOR Gelcream is non-comedogenic and suitable for all skin types, including oily, combination, and spot-prone skin. The lightweight gel-cream texture absorbs without leaving a greasy residue, whilst the dermatologically tested formula won't clog pores or trigger breakouts.

Q: How long does it take to see results from using this product?

A: Sun protection benefits are immediate upon application, providing instant defence against UV damage. For long-term anti-ageing benefits, consistent daily use is essential. Clinical evidence suggests that regular photoprotection significantly reduces the risk of premature photoageing, with visible improvements in skin health typically observed over several months of consistent use.

Q: Can I use this product if I have sensitive skin?

A: HELIOCARE COLOR Gelcream is dermatologically tested and suitable for sensitive skin. However, as with any skincare product, we recommend performing a patch test before first use. If you have specific concerns or known allergies to any ingredients listed (particularly fragrance components or parabens), please speak to our experts for personalised guidance.
