As we soak up the sunshine, it’s easy to forget the hidden dangers it poses to our skin. Actinic keratosis (AK) and non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) are serious risks we shouldn’t ignore. While the warmth of the sun may feel comforting, prolonged exposure can lead to irreversible damage, potentially resulting in these conditions. Actinic keratosis, often marked by rough, scaly patches, serves as a warning sign of impending skin cancer, while non-melanoma skin cancers, though less known, can be equally concerning, affecting millions globally each year.

We’re here to guide you through what AK and NMSC are, and how the Heliocare 360° MD AK Fluid SPF 100+ can be your shield against these threats.

Understanding Actinic Keratosis and Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer

Actinic Keratosis (AK):

Often referred to as solar keratosis, AK is a precancerous skin condition characterised by rough, scaly patches on sun-exposed areas such as the face, ears, scalp, and hands. While typically harmless, if left untreated, AK lesions can progress to become squamous cell carcinoma, a type of NMSC.

Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer (NMSC):

This term encompasses a group of skin cancers that develop in the upper layers of the skin, excluding melanoma. The two main types are basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), both of which are largely caused by sun exposure.

How Heliocare 360° MD AK Fluid SPF 100+ Works

1. Fernblock+ Antioxidant Complex

Derived from a tropical fern native to Central America, Fernblock+ is rich in ferulic and caffeic acids, potent antioxidants that provide photo immunoprotection. This complex neutralises free radicals, repairs damaged DNA, and enhances the skin’s natural defence mechanisms.

2. Vitamin C & E

These vitamins work together to protect against oxidative stress and the harmful effects of pollution, further bolstering the skin’s resilience against UV-induced damage.

3. Bioshield System

Featuring biomimetic melanin, which mimics melanocytes, the Bioshield System doubles the strength of your skin’s own melanin, providing enhanced protection against UV radiation.

4. GenoRepair® Complex

Comprising a combination of repair enzymes, the GenoRepair® Complex prevents and repairs actinic damage, minimising the risk of AK progression to the several types of NMSC.
