Product Overview

New and improved! HELIOCARE Antioxidant Supplements are now vegan-friendly, gluten-free and artificial dye-free. The original HELIOCARE Antioxidant Supplements are now a natural grayish brown shade, much like the HELIOCARE Ultra capsules.

Shield your skin from the inside out with reef-safe HELIOCARE Antioxidant Supplements for sun protection.

HELIOCARE Antioxidant Supplements are the only oral dietary supplement tablets known to provide overall protection against photoaging. Each capsule works by improving the body’s tolerance to UV rays, preventing sun-damaged skin. The key ingredient in these tablets is Polypodium leucotomos extract, which helps the skin maintain its structure and immune response against sun damage. HELIOCARE capsules also protect fragile elastin in the skin for a more youthful appearance. 

Key Features: 

  • Protects skin from harmful UV rays with a potent antioxidant
  • Recommended for use in conjunction with regular sunscreen application
  • Vegan-friendly, gluten-free and artificial-dye free
  • Reef safe

Although HELIOCARE tablets aid in preventing sun damage, they do not replace sunscreen. We recommended applying a topical sunscreen with SPF for maximum results.

Highlights

  • Strengthens immune response
  • Enhances UV protection
  • Gradually builds UV tolerance

Answered Questions (6)

Is this product safe to use while pregnant and breastfeeding? Thanks!

Unless advised by a physician, do not use Heliocare Sun Protection Pills if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

How soon does the protection start to work?

Although Heliocare tablets help prevent sun damage and build resistance over time, they are not designed to provide immediate UV protection or replace sunscreen. You should take one tablet daily each morning to improve your body’s resistance to UV damage. On days when you will experience prolonged sun exposure, be sure to take one tablet at least one half hour before exposure and another tablet two to three hours later. You should also apply sunscreen one half hour before exposure and reapply every two to three hours.

Is the heliocare sun protection pills gluten free?

Heliocare Sun Protection pills are now gluten-free, vegan and free of all artificial dyes.

Can I take the heliocare sun protection pills with multi vitamins? I am taking multi vitamins right now.

Yes, it is safe to take the Heliocare Sun Protection Pills alongside other vitamins and supplements.

When taking HELIOCARE, does tanning still occur?

Yes. Although HELIOCARE tablets aid in preventing sun damage, they do not replace sunscreen. We recommended applying a topical sunscreen with SPF30 or higher for maximum results.

Is this safe to use with Tazorac (A retinol cream) and will it potentially undermine any of Tazorac''s effects?

There are no contraindications for use of Heliocare Antioxidant Supplements with Tazorac.

Seems to work

I’m usually pretty sensitive to being out in the sun, even with sunscreen on. After taking these for over a month, i have noticed my skin tolerates the sun better.

Excellent Product

I have melasma and I have had every treatment to try and lighten it. Since using taking Heliocare I have noticed it is not as prominent as it was (above the lip) and my family and friends have to! I am so pleased I took the chance and purchased it and have re-purchased it.

Not sure

I have Rosacea, been using Dermatologist recommended tint sunscreen for a few years. I wanted to try Heliocare after reading various articles. I have used it for a couple of weeks and haven't noticed a big change in my Rosacea so I don't know if it's effective or not.

A necessity

I found this product through reddit and blog posts after I experienced extreme hyperpigmentation after a day at the beach. I take one of these pills every time I go out on a sunny day and it really helps prevent new pigment, while also helping minimize the pigmentation I already had. I have repurchased this many times and am grateful that Lovelyskin carries this hard to find incredible antioxidant.

Extra Protection

I am a sunscreen fanatic and will never be without it. I can't see effects of this supplement immediately upon using but I believe that it is helping me in combination with seeking shade and using my sunscreen religiously. Anything that can help protect your skin in the sun is worth it! I also have a bit of a sensitive stomach so I never know how I am going to react to things and this didn't do anything harmful to me. I took a break from taking this supplement as I have been as adventurous and outdoorsy lately but it will be important when I start taking some of my hikes and runs.

Helps protect skin from oxidants

It was recommended by a doctor, externally I don’t see any apparent changes, but since it is an anti oxidant it will help the whole oxidative process of aging. No discomfort in terms of digestion, and probably if I keep taking it I’ll be able to determine if it has helped with some of my skin issues.

Extra Sun Protection

I bought this to supplement my sun protection products. The sun at altitude is very strong, and I already use daily sunscreen, sun sleeves, hats. This product has been shown to improve sun protection. I'm not sure if it does help, but it certainly doesn't hurt and I tolerate it fine. I'll do what I can to get the best sun protection possible by keeping this on the daily.

Heliocare Supplement

I have been taking this supplement every morning for the past few weeks. I have had no adverse reaction to it. I like that it is a natural plant based capsule. I am happy that it is dermatologist recommended for extra sun protection. I am hoping that continuing to take this supplement in combination with using sunscreen with help to protect my skin from the effects of sun exposure.

Definitely helps

It is not a magic pill for melasma but I have to say it did not make my persistently stubborn melasma worse during the summer months, so I am going to keep it as a part of my daily supplement regime.

Not sure it works

I continue taking this when I know I’m going to be out in the sun the whole day but I’m not sure if it really protects me or not.

Extra protection

I have lupus, so avoiding UV is a big deal for me. Last summer was unbearable, so I started taking this supplement daily in the early spring, hoping it might help. Now, about 6 months later, I’m noticing fewer flares and less skin issues than I had last summer without it. I still always wear sunblock, hat, and UV protective clothing, but every little bit of extra protection helps. And also, as a side benefit my skin just LOOKS better - smoother and less red.

Heliocare Antioxidant

I have been taking Heliocare on the advice of my dermatologist for almost two years, and have highly recommended it to my friends. I did a lot of research on the product, before trying it; and, was impressed with not only the reviews and recommendation by my doctor but by the science behind it ~ and the fact that’s it’s all natural. I started with one capsule daily, and worked up to four. I spend a lot of time in the outdoors and sun. I use sunscreen daily in addition to the Heliocare, because it’s the prudent thing to do. Love this product. No issues with stomach upset or side effects.

Worth the price

My dermatologist recommended Heliocare to me a couple of years ago to help treat my melasma. While I use in conjunction with other products, I can tell the difference; my skin is much less sensitive to the sun since using it. It may seem a little pricey at first but it's worth checking out to see if it works for you.

Added protection

My dermatologist recommended heliocare as added skin protection for avoiding more melasma and skin damage. I do feel like it helps. I burn less easily. I haven’t had any negative side effects.

Heliocare Really Works!

I have been using Heliocare for many years, at the recommendation of my dermatologist. I suffer from rosacea & had redness on my face & chest. After using Heliocare for 1-2 months, my redness was nearly all gone. Since then, I use it daily, and no redness! There are no side affects and I love my facial skin.

I use the Heliocare to help protect my skin. I play tennis and I’m in the sun a lot. I feel like using broad spectrum sunscreen and heliocare give me the protection I need.
