STYLE@LXG: A Man on his Quest for a Fairer Complexion

My one month trial of Heliocare Purewhite Radiance! 

The missus woke up one day and decided that I was far too tanned to be attractive (seriously). To be fair, I keep forgetting to apply sunscreen and I do like just hanging out in the sun, But  I was forced into accepting certain aspects of metrosexuality, and that was only under the threat of never ending nagging and an end to any form of physical relations, so like any decent man, I caved.

But fairer skin? Is that even possible?

For almost a month, I have been consuming two capsules (one in the morning and one at night) of Heliocare’s latest whitening product; Purewhite Radiance. You would seriously not catch me dead taking any whitening supplement, but because its under Heliocare and I use their sunscreen (again when nagged and when I remember) I relented.

The jar holds a month’s supply of capsules that, like all Heliocare products, contains Fernblock®, the patented fern extract of Polypodium leucotomous, which is currently the only agent known to provide oral sun protection caused by UVA by 55%, increase skin tissue by up to 66% and increases skin’s resistance against sunburn by 300%.

Heliocare Purewhite Radiance is said to promote skin whitening through the exclusive formulation of White Tech Complex.  Enriched with Fernblock to provide protection against harmful UV rays and promote anti-ageing effects by quenching free radicals and inhibiting MMP, slowing down the degradation of collagen. 

While this all sounds great, I was skeptical and decided to give the product a go. Well, its been almost a month and to be honest I have experienced some lightening of my freckles (yes I have a few freckles, blame my English ancestry for them) and pigmentation and my skin has actually lightened a fraction. I believe to see more dramatic results I will have to continue to take the product, but for now, I have to admit that yes, Purewhite Radiance does work!
