FAQ

Q: Can I use this as my daily foundation and skip traditional makeup?
A: Absolutely. The Color Water Gel provides natural-looking, buildable coverage that evens skin tone and conceals minor blemishes whilst delivering professional-grade sun protection. Many of our customers use it as their sole base product for a fresh, healthy-glow look.

Q: How does the ASPA-Fernblock® Technology differ from standard sunscreen filters?
A: Traditional sunscreens provide only surface-level UV protection. ASPA-Fernblock® Technology works at multiple levels: it enhances UV filter efficacy, provides powerful antioxidant defence to neutralise free radicals, supports DNA repair mechanisms, and preserves vitamin D receptor function through the OptiD Effect. This comprehensive approach protects not just against immediate sun damage but also supports long-term skin health.

Q: Which shade should I choose - Beige or Bronze?
A: Beige is formulated for medium skin tones (typically Fitzpatrick types II-IV), whilst Bronze suits medium to dark skin tones (Fitzpatrick types IV-VI). Both shades blend seamlessly and adapt to your natural skin tone for an invisible, second-skin finish. Speak to our experts for personalised shade recommendations.

Q: Will this product leave a white cast on deeper skin tones?
A: No. The water-based gel formula with tinted coverage is specifically designed to blend invisibly on all skin tones without white cast or ashy residue. The ultra-light texture absorbs completely, leaving only a natural, radiant finish.

Q: How long does the 48-hour hydration claim last in practice?
A: Clinical testing demonstrates that the cross-linked hyaluronic acid system provides measurable hydration for up to 48 hours after a single application. However, for optimal sun protection, you should reapply every 2 hours during sun exposure, which also ensures continuous hydration benefits.

Q: Can I use this if I have acne-prone or oily skin?
A: Whilst this formula is non-comedogenic and suitable for all skin types, it's specifically optimised for normal, dry, or dehydrated skin. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, our experts recommend the Heliocare 360° Color Gel Oil-Free, which features mattifying, sebum-regulating properties whilst providing the same advanced protection.
