Sun spots
I read about this product for additional sun protection and possible reduction of sun spots. I do notice that my skin is looking better, but I have also been using a serum. It may be the combination of the both, but my skin is smoother and the spots do appear lighter. I have been using this for over a month and have already re-ordered another bottle.

Did not burn
I have fair skin, and I usually burn. I did not burn while I took heliocare. I definitely recommend!

Heliocare Sun Protrction Pills
It's hard to tell if these pills really help with sun protection, but after attending a talk by a dermatologist who uses them, I thought I would use them at least during the summer months for extra sun protection. Having had skin cancer, I try and take as many precautions as possible to protect my skin. I take one pill every day as the directions state. It's hard to rate something like this because it is an internal help against sun damage.

Nice Idea
I take these on days when I know I'll be golfing or hiking or doing something outside for an extended period. I live in San Diego where the sun can be brutal. I haven't had any adverse reactions but I don't know if I would burn without the pills either. My dermatologist sells these in her office, so I trust that they are beneficial.

3 weeks using them
I have a sun allergy and get light hyper-pigmentation, I wear a sunblock and photo-protector but my doctor suggested I need something else to help me prevent unwanted sun spots. So far no big difference but I have only been taking them for 3 weeks. They don't give me any discomfort or side effects.

Great Product!!!
I have used these capsules for a couple of years now and they have helped me improve my melasma and other hyperpigmentation.

So Far So Good
Hard to tell if they work but it feels good to have an extra line of defense against the sun. Must be used in conjunction with a great SPF like Eltamd UV Clear.

Heliocare
Since I've taken these pills to guard against sunburn, I haven't gotten any sunburn and I'm in the sun everyday. I play tennis and swim in an outdoor pool and I simply take a pill half hour before the activity and apply appropriate sunscreen and I don't worry snout getting over exposed to the sun. Good idea to buy it.

great for going on vacation!
I bought a few of these bottles so I could take the pills before heading out into the sun for the day and to prep my skin :) I feel like it's nice to have an antioxidant in my routine, too.

Extra security is worth it
I take one pill daily as recommended by my dermatologist. Can't really tell if it helps since i am now using sunscreen faithfully. I must say this is the first summer that I wasn't plagued by new dark age spots on my skin. Will continue to use for the security it gives me that I am doing everything possible to protect my skin.

Hope it works
I take one of these pills everyday in the summer and 2-3 if I'm going to be spending the day in the sun. I am not sure if they work but I think they are worth a try. If there was more studies/conclusive evidence I would give them 5 stars but I don't read about these too often.

Does it work?
I am giving this product 4 out of 5 stars because I dont have a way of evaluating their effectiveness. I have been taking them for 3 months so I hope they do work!! I love the idea of sun protection from the inside as well as topically, so my fingers are crossed. No side-effects and easy to take!

Immunity!!!!
I bought these for a plethora of reasons. My boyfriend went for his 10 day Hawaii(2nd home) visit and I couldnt take one more sunburn. Also, I love the antioxidant properties. Living in the deep south I need all the protection I can get, so from the inside out is a good feeling. Also, Im hoping to amp up my immune system. Cant a lady just be healthy?!

Not sure if it works!
I have been trying to tone down my sun exposure while taking these pills so it is hard to say if they work. I havent had any side effects from them which is good. They are easy to take which is nice. I have not noticed any improvement in my skin as far as anti-aging goes so it is difficult to say if these pills do anything.

Doctor recommended
My derm recommended I use this daily. We tried it on summer vacation, and my son did not burn, as he usually does. Im taking a bottle to the lake this year and handing them out to everyone.

Good product but it could be better
Polypodium leucotomos has helped me protect my fair skin from the sun I need every little bit of protection I can get. But another product called Sunsafe Rx works better. It has the same polypodium extract but also a number of other natural antioxidants that have also been shown to protect from UVA/UVB. Plus it doesnt have colors/dies or titanium. But regardless, this helps if you want a cheaper product.

Daily Skin Relief
My older skin needs extra care and Heliocare helps with the dryness during this cold weather and the sun damage in the winter. This is a must-have daily regime for older adults.

Good help with Sun Screen
This product is not the end all for sun screen, but it is nice to have internal help. Along with sun screen lotion, I would not change it.

Antioxidants - yes!
I decided to try a full size bottle after using the same from LovelySkin. I am a sunscreen-aholic so I am really not sure if this product added any protection, but I will most likely purchase again just for the antioxidants. I live in Colorado and tend to start covering up more as we enter the Fall and Winter months. Since the bottle lasted me just through the summer, I think I will only be purchasing a bottle a year, right before summer.

So far so good
I used Heliocare all summer and am continuing the antioxidant into fall. I develop brown spots extremely easy on my face, and yes I use a spf 30 every day, but I just throw pigment easily. I feel like this has helped stopped developing new pigment spots. Plus I think the antioxidants are just good for your skin. Ive done quite a bit of reading on this product and will continue to use it, I think its worth the price. I gave it a 4 because it is a little pricey.
