About This Product

Is Heliocare 360 Pigment Solution Fluid right for you?

  • Active melasma patients — Combines broad-spectrum SPF50 with depigmenting actives that directly target the melanin pathway — the only sunscreen that simultaneously prevents and treats.
  • Post-pigmentation treatment maintenance — After a professional protocol, the Pigment Solution Fluid is Dr. Bangalee's first-choice maintenance SPF because it actively continues the depigmentation work at home.
  • Patients with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) — After acne, Dermapen or any inflammatory event, this SPF prevents UV from darkening the marks while the actives accelerate fading.
  • Patients on a pigmentation protocol wanting to maximise results — Every application of Pigment Solution Fluid adds to the clinical outcome — it is a treatment in SPF form.
  • Anyone in South Africa who has noticed dark spots developing — At UV Index 10–12 year-round in KwaZulu-Natal, pigmentation is an almost universal concern — this is the most proactive SPF choice.

How Heliocare 360 Pigment Solution Fluid works — the science

Standard sunscreens prevent UV-triggered pigmentation by blocking the UV stimulus — but they do nothing for existing spots. The Pigment Solution Fluid adds a targeted depigmenting complex to the 360° filter system: Niacinamide inhibits the transfer of melanin granules from melanocytes to keratinocytes, preventing discolouration from forming; Thiamidol (a next-generation tyrosinase inhibitor) blocks the enzyme that drives melanin overproduction at the source; and Fernblock® provides cellular-level UV defence that reduces the UV signal triggering the entire pigmentation cascade. Together, these create a triple-action approach: block UV, inhibit melanin synthesis, and prevent melanin distribution — daily, without any additional effort.

What you will notice — and when

Week 1–2: Existing spots do not darken with sun exposure as they typically would. New sun-triggered spots stop forming.
Month 1–2: Existing dark spots begin to fade measurably. Skin tone becomes more even across the face with consistent daily use.
Month 3+: Combined with Dr. Bangalee's professional pigmentation treatments, the Pigment Solution Fluid amplifies and prolongs results — maintaining the improvement achieved in-clinic every single day.

How to use Heliocare 360 Pigment Solution Fluid

  1. Apply as the final morning skincare step to clean skin after serum and any targeted treatments Dr. Bangalee has prescribed.
  2. Apply a generous, even layer to the full face, paying extra attention to areas of active pigmentation or recurring dark spots.
  3. Allow 30–60 seconds to absorb before applying makeup, if desired.
  4. Reapply every 2 hours during sun exposure — do not reduce frequency because this is an active treatment product.

Key ingredients & what they do

IngredientWhat it does for you
Fernblock®Blocks UV-triggered melanin stimulation at the cellular level — removing the primary environmental signal that drives melasma and PIH.
ThiamidolNext-generation tyrosinase inhibitor — blocks the enzyme responsible for melanin production at the source, reducing new pigment formation with each application.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)Inhibits the transfer of melanin from melanocytes to skin cells — effectively keeping produced melanin from reaching the surface and forming visible dark spots.
360° Broad-Spectrum FiltersUVA, UVB, infrared and blue light protection that eliminates the UV triggers that drive melanin overproduction — especially the longer UVA wavelengths that penetrate cloud cover and glass.
Antioxidant ComplexNeutralises reactive oxygen species that independently trigger melanin pathway activation, adding a fourth layer of depigmentation protection.

Dr. Bangalee's clinical perspective

Dr. Bangalee Recommends"The Pigment Solution Fluid is the most clinically useful SPF I prescribe for pigmentation patients. Most patients understand they need SPF after a peel or treatment — what they do not realise is that SPF alone is passive. The Pigment Solution actively continues the treatment every morning. My patients on a full pigmentation protocol who use this SPF consistently achieve and maintain significantly better results than those on plain SPF." — Dr. Rajeev Bangalee, MBBch

What our patients say

"I have had melasma for eight years and nothing has worked long-term. Since Dr. Bangalee put me on the Pigment Solution Fluid as my daily SPF, my patches are the lightest they have ever been." — Priya, 44 "The idea that my sunscreen is also treating my dark spots every day felt too good to be true, but three months in and my skin tone is noticeably more even. Genuinely impressed." — Chantelle, 37 "After my chemical peel my PIH was still visible. Dr. Bangalee prescribed this and the spots have faded so much faster than after my previous peel when I just used regular SPF." — Bongi, 33

Frequently asked questions

Can I use this instead of my prescription depigmenting cream?No — the Pigment Solution Fluid is a maintenance and prevention product, not a replacement for professional-grade treatment creams prescribed by Dr. Bangalee. It works best as part of a complete protocol.
How long before I see results?SPF results (prevention of new spots) are immediate. Fading of existing spots begins within 4–6 weeks of consistent daily use and becomes more visible at the 8–12 week mark.
Is it suitable for darker skin tones?Yes — the depigmenting actives in this formula are clinically tested across skin tones and are well tolerated and effective for Fitzpatrick types III–VI, where pigmentation concerns are particularly persistent.
Can I use this if I am not currently on a pigmentation treatment?Absolutely — the Pigment Solution Fluid is an excellent preventive SPF for anyone who has noticed pigmentation developing or wants to prevent it in the South African sun.
What is Fernblock®?Polypodium leucotomos extract — a fern plant antioxidant that absorbs UV radiation at the cellular level, reducing DNA damage and photoageing. Clinically proven to enhance the effectiveness of topical SPF.
