Product description Fernblock Technology - A Natural Sun Protection Extract From Polypodium leucotomos to Fernblock Technology Fernblock Technology is the basis of all HELIOCARE products. It is derived from the natural extract Polypodium leucotomos, from a fern grown in Central America, which develops defense and repairing mechanisms from the sun. Polypodium leucotomos has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis or topical dermatitis. The extract process allows Cantabria Labs to obtain a highly concentrated extract, Fernblock in order to maximize the biological properties of Polypodium leucotomos. This commitment to scientific rigour based on the Fernblock formulation is what sets Heliocare apart. When you use Heliocare you know you’re using a sunscreen range you can rely on. Fernblock properties The exclusive Fernblock technology helps protect your skin from the harmful effects of solar radiation. Providing four levels of protection: DNA protection Sun affects the genetic components in our cells, its DNA. Little by little, over a lifetime mutations can be harmful. Antioxidant protection Fernblock has a strong antioxidant action, especially over those generated by solar radiation. These free radicals produced by the sun are responsible for cell damage, blemishes and cutaneous photoaging. Immune System protection The sun affects our skin defense mechanisms. Langerhans cells act as a radar, detecting hazards and activating our defenses. Solar radiation damages those cells, reducing immune function. Fernblock protects and regulates our immune system.

Heliocare Ultra D + Eucerin 50 - works amazingly for Polymorphic Light Eruption!
I've suffered from polymorphic light eruption for about 10 years and tried to treat it as prickly heat for the first 8 years. A friend told me that it wasn't prickly heat and I've been trying to find something to help ever since. I had a huge reaction two weeks ago in the UK during the heatwave and panic purchased these capsules and Eucerin 50. Not only did the outbreak calm down almost immediately, I've not had another since despite 'testing' it in the garden a few times when the sun has been at it's hottest. Not only that, my skin has turned a really beautiful colour and red rough bits I've had on my upper arms for years have gone! I'm not sure if it's linked but my face has also cleared up loads.We go to Spain in July which will be the real test, but so far so amazingly good!Edit: holiday a complete success! I went in the pool and walked around in the sun with no issues at all! I don't sunbathe anyway but I was able to sit out for small periods of time with no issues. I'm so happy, the best holiday I've had in years!Extra tip: if you feel nervous about sitting around the pool and swimming, I wore a rash vest for the first few days until I felt brave enough to go without. You can get them that are like t-shirts now but are fully spf protected and act like swimwear.

Really helped against PMLE
I’ve suffered with PMLE for about 10 years now and have tried many creams and potions such as Shirudo cream, eucerin allergy sun cream, powders to cool the itch..you name it I’ve tried it. I bought this product after reading the reviews and wasn’t disappointed. I’ve just come back from 2 weeks in Mauritius and although I got a bit of the rash it took almost the whole holiday to come up (I’m normally pickled in rash by day 3 and miserable with the pain and itching). I spent time sunbathing each day but avoided the sun between 11:30 and 14:00 and came back with a tan.I’m really happy with them and I will be buying these again!

Great product
Since I can remember I’ve always suffered with prickly heat and sun ulcers when spending time in the sun, after doing some research I have been taking Heliocare Ultra D capsule in the morning whenever I know I’ll be spending time in the sun so far I’ve been able to spend hours in the sun and haven’t suffered with any type of sun allergy whatsoever it’s quite expensive but well worth the money If like me you love to be in the sun but usually suffer with sun allergies 👍🏻

Doesn’t do as it says
My wife suffers from prickly heat and was recommended this product. She has been taking the tablets every day including prior to our summer holiday. After 5 days her prickly heat is back as bad as it would be had she not been taking the tablets. If you’re buying this thinking it will stop your prickly heat then save your money. Product doesn’t do as advertised. Very disappointed

Fabulous
Have had prickly heat and some form of polymorphic light eruption for 35 years which usually flared up after a day in the sun. This is the only product I have ever used that actually helps. I did also use the Heliocare sunscreen. I took a tablet every 6 hours while in the sun and only had a couple of tiny itchy areas after 5 days of intense light. Amazing.

I'd recommend
Used this in support with other meds, sunscreen for PMLE..I had near to no reaction from the sun, whether or not these had anything to do with it, who can say but I was pleased with the result after 2 weeks in Thailand 😎

Seems to be the magic missing element in my regime ...
Seems to be the magic missing element in my regime to beat my sun allergy (PMLE)! Combined with a daily antihistamine and Techniblock Sun Lotion 30, I can keep the hives at bay. Interestingly as I get older I react quicker but if I stick to this regime from day one in the sun, I seem to get away with it. Highly recommend the investment.
