Heliocare 360 Pigment Solution Fluid SPF50

Very subtle nude effect

One of those your-skin-but-better products. I tried this one recently as an alternative to my favourite NIOD Survival 30. This product is very thin/runny and I think I should be applying it more heavily to get the full SPF50. The light tint is very subtle and works well with my light cool skin tone. It dries down nicely matte without making me look dusty, with a fine even finish thanks to the nano size minerals. The polypodium fern extract gives it a noticeable botanical smell but that is a nice change from highly perfumed products. I chose this Heliocare product for the niacinamide (B3), which I like to have in all my skincare, but I did not notice any improvement in pigmentation. In comparison the NIOD SPF30 has a slightly heavier texture (not nano), dewier finish and no smell at all. The NIOD contains no oxides to provide the tint and seems to have less rub-off on clothing. On the other hand this one is better value. You choose! I hope this has been helpful.
