Heliocare Advanced SPF50 XFgel50 – My Review

Heliocare Advanced SP50 XFgel with eXtra-Fusion formulation.

Heliocare Advanced SPF50 XFgel with its NEW and exclusive eXtra-Fusion formulation takes Heliocare’s high level UV and skinbiological protection to new skin-loving levels. The fantastic XFgel formulation provides enhanced UVA, skin antioxidant and DNA protection and when applied it literally melts in to the skin for invisible, total skin comfort making it the perfect choice for everyday anti-ageing skin protection.

Heliocare is one of my favourite sunscreen brands. My whole family use it and they all love it.
So when they brought out the XF gel I was keen to try it.

It is very light and moisturising when applied, but not greasy.

I find that I don't need to wear a moisturiser under it as it feels so nourishing on its own. What I also like about it is the high factor sunscreen.

As with all the Heliocare products, it is easy to apply and doesn't leave any white cast on your skin. However, what I did notice was that it is a lot thinner in consistency than the Heliocare SPF50 gel. Because of this, I think It would get used up quicker than the Heliocare SPF50 gel.

I am not sure that I prefer one over the other, but I think the XF gel feels slightly lighter and absorbs quicker than the Heliocare SPF50 gel, but I still really like the Heliocare SPF50 gel too.

Maybe I will alternate between them!!

Have you tried the XF gel?
