Protect skin from solar radiation while locking in hydration with the refreshing action of Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV 01 Clear. Specially calibrated to provide broad-spectrum UV protection without a heavy, greasy, or sticky feel, this transparent 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, refine skin texture, and create a dewy, foundation-gripping base. Shade 01 Clear breaks upon skin contact into a water-like splash that absorbs cleanly, making it an ideal standalone sunscreen or daily makeup primer for all skin tones.

How It Works & Key Benefits

This formula targets solar dehydration, photo-aging, and makeup pilling caused by heavy, occlusive sunscreens. By suspending hybrid UV absorbers within a water-burst gel matrix rich in botanical humectants, it delivers immediate hydration upon friction while forming a flexible UV-protective veil over the skin. This dual-action system shields skin against burning and aging rays, smooths rough micro-texture, and grips cosmetics without feeling sticky or leaving a white cast.

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 defense.

• 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 even out 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 filters set into a flexible, gapless film that feels lightweight and non-greasy.

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, fresh, and smooth finish that naturally illuminates the complexion without a chalky white cast or oily shine. The hydrated surface creates a smooth, gripping canvas that helps foundation adhere evenly without pilling.

Skin Type Suitable for all skin profiles, including normal, dry, sensitive, oily, and combination skin types.

Concerns Solved UVA/UVB photo-aging, solar dehydration, white cast, makeup pilling, uneven texture, and sunscreen heaviness.

Who Should Avoid It

• Strict Ultra-Matte Finish Preferences: Those with extremely oily skin who prefer a completely flat, powder-matte finish may find this formula's natural dewy finish too moisturizing.
