Heliocare 360 Colour Gel Oil Free 50 SPF

Helen’s note

The sign of a good SPF is that you barely feel like it's there. All the protection, none of the weight. We always recommend 50SPF for anyone who has had a skin cancer in the past.

Helen Ritchie, skin professional

Heliocare

360 Colour Gel Oil Free 50 SPF

£31 Bronze

A tinted, oil-free SPF50 PA++++ gel for oily and combination skin, with the widest protection we know: UVA, UVB, infrared, visible light and pollution. Fernblock and biomimetic melanin add defence, and the light tint evens out redness with a matte finish. If you’re dry in places, put Vitamin B underneath. Vegan and non-comedogenic.

The routine

Where this fits

Step 1Cleanse

Never strip. Even oily skin needs a cleanser that leaves it comfortable. If you feel tight afterwards, it’s the wrong one.

Step 2Balance

Mists, toners and probiotics settle skin after cleansing, so everything that follows works harder.

Shop balance →

Step 3Treat

Your targeted serums. Layer thinnest to thickest, and keep vitamin A for the evening.
