Canmake - Mermaid Skin Gel UV Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++ (C01 Cica Mint)
Editor's Note
Description
Soothe reactive skin while neutralizing persistent redness with the Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV (C01 Cica Mint). Designed as a targeted treatment sunscreen within the iconic Mermaid Skin Gel family, this color-correcting anti-redness gel combines high-level broad-spectrum photoprotection with the botanical calming properties of Centella Asiatica. Ideal for acne-prone, sensitive, or easily flushed skin, C01 Cica Mint instantly balances uneven tone with a gentle green tint while delivering a surge of weightless hydration that primes skin for flawless makeup application.
Phyto-Calming Optics & Hydro-Gel Shield Chemistry
Anti-Erythemic Color Correction
The functional optics of shade C01 Cica Mint leverage complementary color theory. Formulated with precise ratios of Chromium Oxide Greens and Titanium Dioxide, the soft mint-green pigment optically cancels out facial redness, rosacea flushes, and post-acne inflammation (post-inflammatory erythema / PIE). This creates an even, calm skin tone baseline without leaving an unnatural white mask or heavy coverage.
CICA-Infused Soothing Complex
At the core of its skincare performance is Centella Asiatica (CICA) Leaf Extract, rich in bioactive triterpenes (such as asiaticoside, madecassoside, and asiatic acid). CICA accelerates skin barrier recovery, dampens inflammatory cytokine signaling, and reduces thermal stress caused by UV exposure. Combined with 84% skin-conditioning ingredients—including Sodium Hyaluronate, Job's Tears Extract, and Mulberry Root Extract—this gel maintains a balanced skin barrier under environmental stress.
Hybrid Photoprotective Matrix
To secure photostable UV filtering without heavy lipid buildup, the formula integrates a balanced blend of mineral and chemical filters:
-
Uvinul A Plus & Tinosorb S: High-performance, photostable organic absorbers targeting both deep UVA (photo-aging) and UVB (sunburn) rays.
-
Titanium Dioxide & Zinc Oxide: Physical mineral filters that reflect solar radiation and help regulate excess surface sebum.
Skin Type Suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive, acne-prone, rosacea-prone, combination, and oily skin experiencing localized redness or inflammation.
Concerns Solved Facial redness, post-acne erythema (PIE), inflammatory flushing, UVA/UVB photo-aging, dryness, and uneven skin tone.
Texture A light, water-burst gel with a subtle mint-green tint that transforms into a fresh, soothing liquid upon application, drying down to a dewy, non-greasy finish.
Usage Time Optimized for daily morning (AM) use as the final step in your skincare routine or immediately before base makeup.
Compatible Routines Pairs seamlessly over lightweight hydrating toners and serums. Works as an exceptional redness-correcting primer under foundations, BB creams, or pressed setting powders (such as Canmake Marshmallow Finish Powder).
