My summer go to
My best friends are derms and can’t believe how few people know about this! I used it all last summer and had a gorgeous glow without the burn. I’m always outside but terrible about sunscreen except for in my face. Sunscreen pills for the win

Great added protection
Great extra protection paired with sunscreen. Spent a few hours in sun unexpectedly at brunch and the park and only had sunscreen on face. Neck and elsewhere did not but stayed protected and not pink/red

Helps in the Florida sun
My dermatologist told me that it gives an 8 SPF coverage, which is helpful, if you miss sunscreen coverage in places. I take Heliocare daily along with sunscreen, sun glasses , and a hat in the south Florida sun. My skin look healthy without sun spots.

Essential Product!
I lived in South Florida most of my life.. Lucky me! My dermatologist recommended Heliocare when it first came in the market and I've used it religiously for probably 30 yrs. I use the plain Heliocare without added ingredients. Since I was an avid participant of boating and all manners of water sports, my fair skin was constantly exposed to the harsh sun. While Heliocare is not a replacement for topical sunscreen, I can honesty say it made a NOTICIBLE difference as an addition to a good SPF. With Heliocare, no pink ! It works!, It's relatively inexpensive! YAY Heliocare!

Love the extra protection.
As someone who struggles with melasma and sun spots I love having this extra protection along side of sunscreen. My husband found out he is at higher risk for melanomas and he will be adding this to his routine as well.

A must-have for the outdoors!
I work in the sun outdoors, and heliocare is a must-have for me alongside spf. I've noticed a big difference in my skin and now get fewer freckles and sun spots. I will be a lifelong heliocare fan!

Recommended by My Dermatologist
I take Heliocare daily at the recommendation of my dermatologist. When she suggested it, I questioned her, not really convinced that a pill could make a difference for sun protection. But she was unwavering, and I have been going to her for almost 20 years and know her to be highly ethical and well informed of current developments. Good enough for me!

This oral supplement is great for photodamage from the sun. It helps protect from the inside out - you still need a sunscreen however! I am have fair skin and live in the desert and this has made a difference with the brown age spots! Wouldn't be without it!!

Good product
My dermatologist recommended this product to me because I am outside so much of the day. It is easy to take as it is one small capsule daily.

Brilliant!
I love the idea of this- sunscreen from the inside out! I still use a topical sunscreen, but I like the idea of the added protection, especially on days when I spend a lot of time outdoors. Also, from what I have read, the active ingredient Polypodium leucotomos has additionally healthcare benefits as well!

So far, so good
I’ve only been using this for one month/1 bottle, but it seems promising enough for me to repurchase a few more bottles. My skin is super sensitive to sun and reacts with rashes when even in the sun for a few minutes. I haven’t had any rashes while taking it, but one caveat is I am careful to stay out of the sun and apply sunscreen. However I usually get rashes regardless, and I feel this has been protecting me because I haven’t experienced them so far this month.

Has published studies supporting it's benefits
This doesn't replace topical SPF products but can augment those. I've been using this supplement for years now. I use it daily in the spring/summer/fall and will double up the dose if going to be out in the sun for several hours, like when I'm paddle boarding. My skin looks young for my age.

Life-saver for my burn-prone skin
Got this on the recommendation of Dr. Schlessinger. Was heading to Southwest Texas to do some hiking and knew I needed an extra layer of protection. I’m happy to report, in combination with my sunscreen, I didn’t burn after a full day out in the desert!

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.

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.
