HELIOCARE ORAL CAPSULES - 60caps

Not sure if it was all in my head or if they really worked but I took them during a trip to Hawaii and we did still get burnt a bit but my melasma did not really flare up! Yippee!

Outstanding product. I swell then loose large areas of skin if exposed to the sun. Takes weeks of Prednisone to bring my skin back to normal. I had to go out just 4 days after starting Heliocare. I took two Heliocare per day. Difference was like night and day. 2 20mg doses in just 24 hours was all the Prednisone I needed. No swelling. Itching but no skin loss. Weeks later went out again. Itching only and one dose of Prednisone was necessary. I use this with their topical clear sunscreen, Heliocare 360 Spf50 Pediatric Transparent spray, from Carethy, Pharmacyclub dot net or Parafarmacia-online. Don't confuse this with their atopic spray lotion. It has to come direct from Spain where its manufacturered. Amazon doesn't carry it right now. Put it all over including your scalp. Seems greasy at first but oily finish dissipates before you can get out of the house if you are a dry skin person like me. They have other topical sunscreens, less oily, but if you are a person of color make sure to look for the word TRANSPARENT in the description.

Me and my boyfriend went for 3 weeks vacations in Costa Rica and Nicaragua in December. I got this because I was so afraid of getting so much sun especially we don't get much sun at all during the winter in Canada. I kept taking during the trip and also used sunscreen. I did not get any sun burn. I don't know the correlation but my boyfriend didn't take the pills and he got sunburn on his legs..

This information might come in more handy for next summer as we are heading into the winter months. But, I would highly recommend this product for anyone that has a problem with melisma or sun damage. I have had one of the two (not sure which) on my neck for many years and it has really bothered me. My daughter works in the beauty and aesthetic field and had heard many good things about Heliocare so I gave it a try. I take one every day from May to October and two on the days that I'm going to be directly out in the sun for an extended period of time. This is the first year that my problem on my neck area is not apparent. I can't say that is 100% gone but honestly, I don't see it when I look in the mirror so I doubt anyone else does either. Even if you don't have sun damage, I think protecting yourself from the sun's UVA and UVB rays has to be a plus for you.

My whole family suffers from sun poisoning. If i'm out in the sun for an hour, later in the evening, I am terribly itchy and rashy on my forearms and neck. anywhere around the neckline of my shirts are red and irritated and itchy and I have to sleep with no shirt on and ice all the itchy areas. The only thing that works is sunscreen with Mexerol, and even that is not 100%. I took these pills for 2 weeks and then went out with no sunscreen. I do NOT advise doing this, but I just wanted to test how well this works. I was out in direct sunlight for several hours and no rash at all. None. I did it the next day, and later in the evening, I was little itchy, but no rash at all. None. I never take vitamins and supplements and I assumed this was just junk and was making jokes about 'fern power', but after all the positive reviews, I figured I'd just give it a shot. This stuff is awesome. I'm buying more for my dad so he can go out golfing and for my brother and sister too. FERN POWER!!!
