FAQ

Q: Can I use Heliocare® 360° Sensation SPF 50+ if I have oily or acne-prone skin?
A: Absolutely. The ultra-light, oil-free, non-comedogenic formula is specifically designed to provide comprehensive protection without clogging pores or triggering breakouts. The matte finish helps control shine throughout the day, making it ideal for oily and combination skin types. Clinical testing confirms excellent tolerability even on sensitive, reactive skin.

Q: Will this sunscreen leave a white cast on darker skin tones?
A: No. Heliocare® 360° Sensation SPF 50+ is specifically formulated for all skin tones (Fitzpatrick types I-VI). The ultra-light texture absorbs completely, leaving an invisible, matte finish with absolutely no white cast. In user trials, 100% of participants across all skin tones reported a weightless, undetectable finish.

Q: What makes ASPA-Fernblock® Technology different from regular sunscreen ingredients?
A: ASPA-Fernblock® Technology goes far beyond traditional UV filtering. Whilst conventional sunscreens primarily act as a barrier, this bioactive technology works with your skin's biology to fight free radicals, support DNA repair, prevent damage accumulation, and maintain vitamin D function through the OptiD Effect. Backed by more than 50 clinical studies, Fernblock® has been proven to enhance UV filter efficacy by up to 14%, whilst actively supporting long-term skin health and resilience.

Q: How long does protection last, and when should I reapply?
A: For optimal protection, reapply every 2 hours during periods of high sun exposure, and immediately after swimming, excessive sweating, or towelling. For daily use in normal conditions, apply in the morning as part of your skincare routine. The water and sweat resistant formula provides reliable protection during daily activities, but frequent reapplication ensures consistent defence against daylight damage.

Q: Can I wear makeup over this sunscreen?
A: Yes, absolutely. The ultra-light, matte finish makes Heliocare® 360° Sensation SPF 50+ the perfect makeup base. In clinical tests, 100% of users reported that the weightless texture is ideal for layering under makeup. Allow the sunscreen to absorb for a few moments before applying foundation or other makeup products for best results.

Q: Is this sunscreen suitable for sensitive skin around the eyes?
A: Yes. The formulation has been ophthalmologically tested and proven safe for use around sensitive eyes. However, avoid direct contact with eyes. If you have particularly reactive eye areas, speak to our skincare experts for personalised application guidance.

Q: What is the OptiD Effect and why is it important?
A: The OptiD Effect is a revolutionary benefit of ASPA-Fernblock® Technology that preserves and optimises vitamin D function in the skin. UV exposure damages vitamin D receptors, compromising the skin's ability to utilise this essential nutrient for repair, immune function, and collagen production. The Rooibos extract in ASPA-Fernblock® protects these receptors under oxidative stress, ensuring that your skin maintains optimal vitamin D function even under very high SPF protection, supporting long-term skin health and resilience.
