CANMAKE Mermaid Skin Gel UV 01 40 g

Pictured is the SPF applied without makeup. I adore this sunscreen! I’ve tried bondi sands, BOJ and SINIC and this is the one I always return to. It’s a lovely gel texture that’s subtly cooling on application. It sinks in fast, leaves no white cast and leaves a glowy but not oily finish. It has no noticeable scent. It’s great under makeup and I’ve never burnt whilst wearing it. Deffo better for normal/ dry skin I’m my opinion.

I absolutely love this sunscreen! Caused me no irritation, is not oily, has 0 white cast for my skin tone - although I suspect it may leave a slight cast on darker skin. It dries slightly shiny but I think most sunscreens leave this behind anyway, but it is very light weight and comfortable to wear. I personally like the shine it leaves as I like to have my skin looking dewy. The application is generally very smooth and has no scent to it. It feels fresh on the face which is what I like and contains no alcohol which makes it less irritating for sensitive or rosacea prone skin. I only wish it came in a bigger bottle - for the price it’s a little expensive but I expect that with many facial sunscreens especially as this is an export from Japan. I have tried a UK brand of facial sunscreen and it just doesn’t feel the same as this - so I will be repurchasing this alongside the other Japanese sunscreen I use. I definitely recommend giving this a try if it is within your budget range! Such a good sunscreen and I’d imagine it would be great to use as make up primer.

I’ve tried many sunscreens over the years, but this is the first SPF I started using consistently in the correct amount, and I keep coming back to it. I have oily but sensitive skin, and my routine involves multiple layers of skincare (3–4 products) every morning. My biggest struggle has always been finding an SPF that doesn’t cause pilling when I apply foundation on top. This is the only sunscreen that works perfectly with my routine. I’ve gone through 10+ tubes, tried other brands out of curiosity, and still ended up coming back to this one — nothing compares. Some people say it’s a bit pricey for the size. That’s true compared to some Korean sunscreens, but honestly: It’s still much cheaper than most pharmacy/SPF options in the UK — and performs better. Final verdict: If you struggle with layering skincare + makeup and need a reliable SPF, this is absolutely worth it. I genuinely don’t think I’ll find anything better.

I bought this to tide me over until my regularly used Biore Aqua Rich (very good btw, and my point of comparison!) arrived. It is a small amount for the price, so dropped a star for that, but I do really like it as a sunscreen - like the Biore it is super lightweight, easily absorbed, no white cast etc - unlike the Biore it doesn’t smell of alcohol, and my face didn’t turn into an oily mess by mid day (the Biore is better than others I’ve tried, but this one beats it easily). I would certainly buy this again if feeling flush!

Delighted to have discovered this product. It's light, sinks in quickly and leaves a beautiful finish with no white cast. It's a great base for foundation which goes on well. I wish it were available in a larger size. It comes in plastic packaging which is unnecessary in my view.

This is my absolute all time favourite sunscreen. No fragrance and fits perfectly under makeup and give you a slight glowy look (I have extremely oily skin and can vouch to say that it works perfect for my skin and does not clog my pores). It has a water base and so is perfect if you have a skincare routine full of water-based products. It fits perfectly underneath my makeup and does not affect it in anyway if I were to re-apply during the day. It is also SPF 50++++ offering 98% protection against UVA and UVB rays. I will definitely repurchase. See picture of me attached showing how seamless the product is with my skincare / makeup.

I recently tried the CANMAKE Mermaid Skin Gel UV 01, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! This sunscreen is incredibly light and feels great on my skin. The quality is top-notch, providing excellent sun protection without feeling heavy or greasy. One of the standout features is that it doesn't leave a white cast, making it perfect for everyday wear. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a reliable and wearable sunscreen. It's definitely a game-changer in my skincare routine

Really nice sunscreen that was light and hydrating. Unfortunately it was just too greasy for me, but that could have been because of my skin type as I'm oily.

Great consistency

Ce gel UV et transparent, léger et parfait au-dessous de votre fond de teint habituel. Il donne un effet "glow" naturel à la peau ! Chaque été je le rachète malgré le prix un peu élevé pour un tube aussi petit

Nach meinem ersten Kauf war ich zunächst recht skeptisch. Ich habe sehr viel Gutes über diesen Sonnenschutz gehört, allerdings wusste ich nicht ob ich die echte Ware hier erhalte, weil die Verpackung komisch war und die Flasche leicht halb voll. Ich dachte mir auch, das ist in einer Woche fertig, aber es hat sich gezeigt, dass ich falsch lag. Dann entschied ich mich dazu es nochmal zu kaufen. Und beim zweiten Kauf war die Flasche voll und ist auch besser verpackt angekommen. Und ich muss sagen, dass ich die Creme nun zum dritten Mal und vermutlich weiterhin bestelle. Zum Sonnencreme: Meine Haut verträgt es sehr gut und ich habe ölige Haut, die mal Akne hatte. Sie fettet nicht und lässt sich gut verteilen, aber man muss aufpassen, dass man nicht zu viel aufträgt sonst wirkt man recht weiß und ich habe eine schon recht helle Haut. Auch Make up lässt sich darauf gut verteilen und hält auch den ganzen Tag ohne zu bröseln. Sie hält die Haut auch leicht glänzend und trocknet sie nicht aus. Was mir nur nicht gefällt ist, dass es um die Augen herum dann doch leicht brennt im Laufe des Tages. Auch wenn nicht so schlimm, trotzdem glaube ich, dass ich mir eine andere Creme kaufen sollte weil es scheinbar meine Augen reizt. Mein Fazit also: Ich werde das weiterhin bestellen, weil es für mich die "safe" SPF ist und tolle UVA/UVB Schutz bietet. Aber ich sehe mich noch um, weil ich gerne einen Sonnenschutz hätte, die wenigstens drei Monate hält. Also von mir aus eine Kaufempfehlung, auch wenn die Augen damit leicht gereizt sind.

Ho la pelle molto sensibile,avevo paura mi avrebbe dato fastidio perché ha una lista ingredienti più lunga rispetto agli spf che uso di solito,invece nessun fastidio, è molto confortevole,da lucentezza alla pelle ma non è unta,si assorbe benissimo e fa un bellissimo effetto e protegge benissimo. La trovo anche idratante. Unica cosa è un po' difficile da lavare, almeno per me che uso un detergente molto delicato per via della mia pelle ultra sensibile che non sopporta gel o mousse detergenti. Se sopportate una detersione un po' più strong o doppia è una protezione solare secondo me davvero bella. Come sempre servizio Amazon impeccabile.

Es un poco más espeso que el otro que tengo de esta marca, pero funciona igual de bien y no deja ningún residuo blanquecino ni demasiado brillo. Repetiré.
