Ever since I can remember I've always been extremely pale..some may say I'm translucent! At age 16 (2007) i decided I was going to fake bake every single day for 4 months. No joke. Although I became extremely tan that summer I now cringe thinking about it. Both my mother and my grandmother have had several skin cancer spots removed :( I do NOT want that to be me so now I avoid the sun like the plague. Occasionally I make the stupid mistake of spray tanning (which when it fades unevenly) and I always regret it. I've been trying to embrace my natural skin color these past few years and was extremely excited when I heard about this product! Supposedly it really helps with protecting your skin from the suns damaging UV rays. I can take all the help I can get!! Almost through my first bottle and now ordering my second. It's a tad expensive..however if this product really lives up to its claims, it's worth every penny.

I have fair freckled skin that burns easily. I got a sample in the Spring Sample Kit and love it! I live in Florida and I spend a lot of time outdoors and on the boat, so for days of off-shoring fishing and golf tournament watching, I take one before I go out in the sun, and then every 3 or 4 hours, take another one. I also used Neutrogenia Dry Touch SPF 70 with Helioplex, and Sunforgettable face SPF in 30. I reapplied my sunscreen twice as often as I took the Heliocare, and I used sun protection clothing and a hat, and I did not get burned at all (Usually some rays get in and I get some burn). I have noticed my skin did not get dry or itchy while out, and I want to attribute that to the Helioplex. It is now a part of my sun routine.
One can find Polypodium Leucotomos extract (the active ingredient in this product) on a number of websites for a quarter of this price. It should not be this expensive.
