Protect skin from solar radiation while instantly brightening dull complexions with the refreshing action of Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV 02 White. Specially calibrated to provide broad-spectrum UV protection alongside a luminous tone-up effect, this brightening water-burst sunscreen gel wraps the face in a hydrating liquid veil. By blending hybrid organic and inorganic UV filters within an 85% serum base, it glides across facial contours effortlessly.

This Japanese formulation works dynamically to prevent solar photo-aging, counteract sallow tones, and create a radiant, foundation-gripping base. Shade 02 White breaks upon skin contact into a water-like splash that absorbs cleanly, providing a fair, milky brightness that makes it an ideal standalone skin perfector or daily makeup primer.

How It Works & Key Benefits

This formula targets solar dehydration, photo-aging, and sallow skin dullness caused by environmental stress. By suspending hybrid UV absorbers and light-scattering mineral pigments within a water-burst gel matrix rich in botanical humectants, it delivers immediate hydration and optical brightening upon friction. This dual-action system shields skin against burning and aging rays, smooths rough micro-texture, and creates a luminous canvas for cosmetics without feeling heavy or sticky.

Core Active Ingredients & What They Do

• Hybrid UV Filter & Tone-Up System (Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide, Octinoxate, Uvinul A Plus, Tinosorb S): Comprehensive inorganic and photostable organic filters providing broad-spectrum UVA/UVB defense alongside a soft-focus brightening effect.

• Sodium Hyaluronate & Soluble Collagen: High-capacity humectants that draw atmospheric water into the skin, plumping fine lines and maintaining hydration.

• 8 Botanical Extracts (Centella Asiatica, Coix Lacryma-Jobi, Evening Primrose, etc.): Plant extract complex that calms UV-induced heat, supplies antioxidants, and soothes skin redness.

• Alpha-Arbutin & Morus Alba Root Extract: Brightening botanical extracts that help suppress sun-induced dark spot formation and promote an even skin tone.

Formula Feel, Absorption & Delivery

The watery gel vehicle breaks into a cooling liquid splash upon skin contact, spreading easily over facial and body micro-contours without friction. As it is rubbed in, the aqueous serum phase absorbs into the upper epidermal layers, while the photoprotective minerals set into a flexible, gapless film that provides a light, uniform tone-up finish without a chalky residue.

Skin Barrier & Surface Finish

Formulated with a rich serum base, the gel respects the cutaneous moisture barrier by halting solar dehydration. Once set, it leaves a dewy, luminous, and smooth finish that naturally brightens the complexion without feeling oily or heavy. The hydrated surface creates a smooth, gripping canvas that helps foundation adhere evenly without pilling.
