I think it is helping my melasma
I live in a hot, sunny climate and struggle with melasma. My melasma is getting better since taking one Heliocare pill a day. I have also been wearing and reapplying mass amounts of sunscreen along with a lot of sun avoidance. I also have a strict skincare regimen with tyrosinase inhibitors and a retinoid. One other positive that probably isn't something most would think about is that it hasn't caused acne in my very breakout prone skin. So many supplements I introduce (B12, Biotin, B Complex, multivitamins, iodine, kelp, etc.) seem to cause breakouts. I have stayed clear while taking these. I also take niacinamide daily with this. So basically I will keep taking this, but I don't think it is the sole reason my melasma is not getting worse. It is an important part of my full regimen and I'd suggest you give it a try if you are on the fence and see how it does for you.

Noticeable Difference
I do not use this product every day, but I do use it on days when I anticipate a high level of UV exposure (i.e., days spent at the beach). I am fair and prone to burning, and I have noticed that this product seems to protect me from the sun better than sunscreen alone. Note: Always also use sunscreen, per instructions by manufacturer! Usually I get tan lines even with repeated sunscreen applications (every 30-45 minutes), but this product seems to help me avoid that, even when I'm in the water constantly (except when I get out to reapply). FYI, I do usually follow the suggestion on the bottle and take one in the morning and one later on in the day prior to swimming.

hard to know
Its really tough to review this product, because I am so careful with using sunscreen, I would never know if this was helping. I do think it has good ingredients, though, and would probably buy again, if I was going to be out in the sun more than usual. (like on vacation )

HELIOCARE
Heliocare from Ferndale Healthcare is a unique antioxidant supplement which promotes skin health with Fernblock (calaguala) extract. This is not a replacement for sunblock, I use this in addition to sunblock as additional support.

Heliocare Polypodium Leucotomos - Great!!
This supplement is recommended by my dermatologist to help my skin. I have had basil cell skin cancer. My skin is aging. I am taking this product to support healthy skin. It is easy to take twice a day. I have healthier skin.

Will definitely purchase again
It's hard to really see a "difference" because you don't exactly see the sun damage that you prevent... With that being said, I do trust the science behind this product and will repurchase. It's a little expensive to use year-round so I plan on buying again during the sunny summer months.

Doctor recommended
I was experimenting painful scrapes whenever I hit my arm or hand on something. This Heliocare apparantly has made my skin more elastic and I haven't had any scrapes since I started using it. It also is good for dealing with South Florida's sunshine. Saved a lot on band aids.

This works!!
I play tennis in the Florida sun 3x a week and ALWAYS wear SPF 50+, hat/visor, and long sleeve tops. Wanted the extra protection so I decided to purchase the Heliocare. My skin looks smoother/brighter and I don't get the red heat rashes that I consistently suffered from after my matches. Seems to work well for me and I plan to repurchase.

Wanted to love this. Made me throw up the first time. Second time was nauseous. Decided not to go for 3.

Recommended by Dermatologists
Recommended by Dermatologists to prevent skin damage by the sun. Recommended dose is two capsules a day, but I only take one a day. Hopefully it is effective.

Enjoying it!
Enjoying it, but can't tell if it's making a difference in reducing effects of my sun exposure.

Convinced this stuff works
I am unable to use almost any sunscreen because of allergies and so far I have not experienced any sunburn while using this supplement. I don’t purposely try to get burned, but I burn fairly easily and somehow have been good so far. My rosacea is also improving!

Great Product
I have been suffering from sunburn for years. I got to know about this from the doctors visit. Its been two weeks now of taking this pills and i must say this work like a magic. My skin is very sensitive to sun even with one minute of sun light exposure used to make me rashes and itching now they are completely gone.

Good
I try to use every day, or at least every day where I'm in the sun a good bit and I think it helps. Obviously need sunscreen in addition, of course.

I dont think this actually works
Used it for a whole week before going on a beach day. On that day I also took one and even after applying sunscreen 3 times during the day, I still got a pretty bad sunburn.

My first bottle, I think it helps
My dermatologist recommended this product to help to protect the skin from sunburns. I have a very sensitive skin and it doesn't take long for me to get sunburns. I just started taking Heliocare, so far so good.
