HELIOCARE 360° COLOR Water Gel SPF50+

Nowhere near as good as Fluid Cream

I was a big fan of the discontinued Fluid Cream (why?) and had high hopes for this product. Unfortunately this Water Gel is too dark for me (I ordered beige). It is a lot darker than the Fluid and I won’t be able to use this now, let alone in winter. When you first put it on it’s really yellowy, but it does turn a bit lighter during the course of the day. It’s harder to put one as it ‘sets’ quite quickly. Once on it does feel good, it’s a good formula that doesn’t dry my skin and it’s comfortable to wear. It definitely evens out skin tone. Please bring back Fluid Cream? Or a lighter option than the beige (which is more for people with olive skin?).

Apply direct to cleansed skin before any other product

I've been using this product for a while and am really happy with it. My top tip is to apply it to your skin after cleansing and toning and it should go on flawless. When I've tried to apply it over primer / serum / moisturiser it has gone flaky, but on bare toned skin it works just fine

Natural coverage

I have got on really well with this product. I mix my moisturiser with the bronze. It gives me a lovely even sun-kissed glow. It keeps my skin hydrated all whilst protecting my skin.
