Description

Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV 40g SPF50+ PA++++ is a water-gel sunscreen for oily, combination, and sensitive skin that needs SPF50+ protection with no white cast, no alcohol dryness, and a finish that doubles as a transparent makeup primer. It is alcohol-free — a deliberate formulation choice that separates it from most lightweight Japanese sunscreens, which use ethanol to achieve a quick-dry finish at the cost of dryness and irritation for sensitive skin.

  • SPF50+ PA++++ — maximum UV-A and UV-B protection for face and body daily use
  • Alcohol-free (ethanol-free) — no dryness or irritation for sensitive or reactive skin
  • Hybrid UV filter system — combines chemical and physical filters for broad-spectrum stability
  • Sodium Hyaluronate — draws moisture into the skin during wear, preventing the tightness common under high-SPF formulas
  • Evening Primrose and Blueberry Leaf Extracts — botanical antioxidants that soothe skin under UV stress
  • 40g compact tube — designed for portability; fits easily in a bag for midday reapplication

How it works: The gel base contains both water-soluble and oil-soluble UV filters in a hybrid system — chemical filters absorb UV radiation and convert it to heat, while the physical component (Zinc Oxide) reflects it. This combination achieves higher overall SPF efficiency than either system alone, allowing the concentration of each filter type to remain low enough to avoid the heaviness and white cast associated with purely physical sunscreens.

Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel vs Biore UV Aqua Rich: Both are lightweight gel-texture SPF50+ sunscreens. The Biore Aqua Rich Watery Essence is more water-like and suited to oily skin in hot weather. The Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel has a slightly creamier gel consistency and contains botanical extracts — making it the better option for skin that is sensitive to alcohol or needs more soothing ingredients alongside UV protection.

Known in Japan as キャンメイク マーメイドスキンジェルUV SPF50+ PA++++ 40g.

Key Ingredients

  • Hybrid UV Filters: A blend of Octinoxate and Zinc Oxide for broad-spectrum protection.
  • Sodium Hyaluronate: A powerful humectant that pulls moisture into the skin.
  • Evening Primrose & Blueberry Leaf Extract: Botanical antioxidants that soothe and protect.
  • Jojoba Ester: Provides a smooth, velvety finish that grips makeup effectively.
  • Free-from: Alcohol, Fragrance, Mineral Oil, and Parabens.

HOW TO USE

  1. After cleansing your face, you can apply this directly as your single skincare and UV step.
  2. Dispense an appropriate amount (about the size of two pearls) and spread it thinly over the face.
  3. Gently pat the gel until it transforms into a watery texture and is fully absorbed.
  4. Allow it to set for 1 minute before applying foundation or BB cream.

Pro Tip: Use it on your body as well! It is particularly great for the neck and décolletage as it won't rub off onto your clothes or leave them feeling sticky.

FAQ

Is Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV a sunscreen or primer?
It works as both — a sunscreen with SPF50+ and a makeup base.

Does it leave a white cast?
The Clear version is colorless and does not leave noticeable white cast.

Is it suitable for oily skin?
It is lightweight, but very oily skin types may prefer a more matte sunscreen.

Is it waterproof?
It is not designed as heavy-duty waterproof sunscreen, so reapplication is important.

Can I use it daily?

Canmake vs Biore Watery Essence — which should I choose?
Canmake is better as a makeup base with hydration, while Biore is lighter and more focused on outdoor UV protection.
