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.

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.

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.
