Heliocare Dietary Supplement, $26.06 "This supplement isn't a substitute for sunscreen, but a great complement to it," says Melanie Palm, MD, dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon, medical director of Art of Skin MD and assistant clinical professor at University of California San Diego. "It's a fern plant extract from the plant Polypodium leucotomos and provides a powerful systemic dose of antioxidants that has been clinically shown to reduce the severity if taken prior to sun exposure." According to Palm, these capsules also provide the equivalent of an SPF of about 46. She recommends it to all of her weekend warriors, skin cancer survivors, melasma patients, outside workers and athletes. "I take it daily and double up during days of sunny vacation or long periods of anticipated sun exposure," she adds.
