HELIOCARE 360º Water Gel SPF 50+ (50 ml)

Heliocare Water Gel is one of the rare sunscreens in India that truly does it all. It shields you from UVA, UVB, blue light from screens, and infrared rays. With SPF 50+, PA++++, and Fernblock®+ technology, it even helps repair past sun damage. It’s gentle enough for your eyes, stays put through sweat and water, and blocks pollution, all while doubling as a moisturizer.

With all that power, you’d expect it to feel heavy or greasy, right? Not at all. It’s ultra-light, soothing, and leaves your skin with a fresh, natural glow. Whether you’re battling Mumbai monsoons or endless screen time, this sunscreen feels like nothing but protects like everything.

SPF (Sun Protection Factor) measures how well a sunscreen protects your skin from UVB rays, which are the main cause of sunburn and contribute to skin cancer. Heliocare Water Gel has SPF 50+ (lab-tested to have an average SPF of 72.9), which means it blocks up to 98% of UVB rays and provides superior sun defence.

But here’s what most people miss: SPF only measures UVB protection. For UVA (the rays that go deeper and cause pigmentation, wrinkles, and long-term skin damage), you need to look at the PA rating.

Heliocare has the highest: PA++++, which offers extremely high UVA protection.

In plain terms: this sunscreen doesn’t just protect you from burning. It protects your collagen, your glow, and your future skin.

Every. Single. Day.

Traditional filters protect—until they break down in sunlight. Next-gen filters? They don’t flinch. Heliocare uses advanced, photostable filters that stay effective longer, cover a broader UV range (including sneaky in-between rays), and play well with your skin. Think: smarter, stronger, longer-lasting protection with less fading and more fighting.

Unlike us, Heliocare Water Gel doesn’t play favourites. Dry skin loves the moisture-boosting complex. Oily skin? Obsessed with the feather-light, non-greasy feel. Combination skin? Gets the best of both worlds. Acne-prone? It’s non-comedogenic and won’t clog pores. Sensitive? It’s fragrance-light, antioxidant-rich, and dermatologist-tested for a reason. This sunscreen adapts to your skin, whether you’re tackling dry skin in Delhi winters or dealing with oily skin in peak Mumbai humidity.

If you have super sensitive skin, a quick patch test is always a smart move to keep things safe and comfy.

Yes, and impressively so. Heliocare Water Gel is clinically tested to stay effective for up to 80 minutes in water, making it ideal for swims, workouts, and high-humidity days. Even after intense sweating, it retains over 80% of its original protection. That’s not just water-resistant. That’s built-to-last. Whether you're hitting the beach, running errands in the sun, or doing hot yoga, this sunscreen stays in place without sliding, stinging, or vanishing halfway. Just make sure to reapply every 2 to 3 hours to keep your sun protection solid all day. After all, reliable protection needs a top-up, and this one’s more than worth it.

Yes, you can. And your skin might just thank you.

Heliocare Water Gel isn't just a sunscreen, it's a serious multitasker. Powered by an innovative continuous-release hydration system that includes a moisture-boosting complex and a biopolymer network, it delivers both instant and long-lasting hydration by locking in moisture.

With hyaluronic acid, glycerin, urea, and soothing antioxidants driving the hydration hit, this sunscreen doubles impressively as a cooling, lightweight, non-greasy moisturiser that feels as good as it protects. We’re talking over 70% more hydration just 4 hours after application.

No, quite the opposite, Love. This is where the "Water Gel" designation and the advanced formulation really shine. Despite being a sunscreen and a moisturiser, it's specifically designed to have an ultra-light and watery texture, which absorbs rapidly into the skin, and leaves a fresh, dewy, and cushion-soft finish that feels cool and comfortable. Basically, it gives you everything you would want in high-performance sun protection, without the one thing you hate about sunscreens - grease.

Not at all, and that’s exactly the point.
Heliocare Water Gel is made with cutting-edge chemical filters that go on completely clear, even on deeper skin tones. No chalkiness, no ghosting, no blending for 10 minutes.

One of its key ingredients, Tris-Biphenyl Triazine (Tinosorb Nano), uses nano technology to reflect and absorb harmful rays without sitting on the skin like old-school mineral sunscreens (think zinc oxide or titanium dioxide). That means powerful protection with a truly invisible finish.

So, if you’ve been burned by white cast before, this sunscreen is your redemption arc.

Let’s break it down.

Heliocare Water Gel is ₹1590 for 50ml. Let’s say that its 1 month of daily use, which comes to about ₹53 per day. Still less than most cab rides, your daily latte, or even a Zomato dessert you didn’t need.

Except this one visibly protects your skin every single day from UVB, UVA, blue light, infrared rays, and pollution. It's backed by serious science (hello, Fernblock®+ and SPF lab-tested at 72.9), offers elite hydration (+70% in 4 hours), and feels like nothing on your skin. Add to that, no white cast, no greasiness, no reapplying layers of products.

When you consider the cost of reversing sun damage, treating pigmentation, or dealing with sensitivity from cheaper, chalky formulas, this isn’t just skincare. It’s skin insurance. 

And one of the smartest things you can do for your face.
