Shield skin from solar radiation while controlling midday shine with the refreshing action of Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV Oil Block. Specially calibrated for combination and oil-prone complexions seeking broad-spectrum UV protection without a heavy or glossy finish, this mattifying water-burst sunscreen gel wraps the face in a smooth, soft-focus veil. By blending hybrid organic and inorganic UV filters with sebum-absorbing micro-powders, it glides across facial contours effortlessly.

This Japanese formulation works dynamically to block UV-induced photo-aging, curb excess surface sebum, and create a velvety, foundation-gripping canvas. The Oil Block variant breaks upon skin contact into a water-like splash that absorbs cleanly, delivering a smooth, semi-matte finish that keeps makeup fresh and prevents shine throughout the day.

How It Works & Key Benefits

This formula targets solar dehydration, oil-induced makeup breakdown, and midday facial shine. By suspending hybrid UV absorbers and porous micro-powders within a water-burst gel vehicle, it delivers fresh hydration upon application while creating a light oil-absorbing film on the skin. This dual-action system shields skin against solar damage, absorbs excess sebum as it is produced, and locks cosmetics in place without clogging pores or feeling dry.

Core Active Ingredients & What They Do

• Hybrid UV Filter System (Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, Octinoxate, Uvinul A Plus, Tinosorb S): Comprehensive inorganic and photostable organic filters providing high-level broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection.

• Silica & Sebum-Absorbing Powders: Porous mineral particles that trap excess surface lipids, reducing shine and maintaining a soft-matte texture.

• Sodium Hyaluronate & Soluble Collagen: High-capacity humectants that bind water into the upper epidermal layers, preventing rebound oiliness caused by dehydration.

• Centella Asiatica & Job's Tears Extracts: Antioxidant-rich botanical extracts that calm UV-induced thermal stress and soothe localized redness.

Formula Feel, Absorption & Delivery

The watery gel vehicle breaks into a cooling liquid splash upon skin contact, spreading easily over facial micro-contours without dragging. As it is smoothed in, the aqueous phase delivers hydration to upper skin layers, while the oil-absorbing powders and UV filters set into a lightweight, non-greasy film that dries down rapidly without pilling.

Skin Barrier & Surface Finish

Formulated with a balanced serum base, the gel respects the cutaneous moisture barrier by preventing water evaporation. Once set, it leaves a smooth, velvety, semi-matte finish that controls excess oiliness without leaving a chalky white cast or feeling tight. The mattified surface provides an ideal, slip-free base for foundation and concealer application.

Skin Type Suitable for combination, oily, acne-prone, and normal skin types seeking oil control and broad-spectrum sun defense.

Concerns Solved UVA/UVB photo-aging, excess surface oiliness, facial shine, enlarged pore micro-texture, makeup slipping, and sunscreen heaviness.

Who Should Avoid It

• Extremely Dry or Flaky Skin Profiles: Individuals with severely dry or flaky skin who require rich lipid nourishment may prefer the extra dewiness of Shade 01 Clear over the mattifying Oil Block formula.
