About this product
Canmake is the cult Japanese drugstore brand loved across Asia for prestige-level formulas at pocket-money prices, and the Mermaid Skin Gel UV is its hero sunscreen. The C03 Pure Purple shade is a lavender-tint tone-up gel: it lays down maximum SPF50+ PA++++ protection while purple pigments neutralise the dull, sallow yellow cast that humidity and city pollution leave on Filipina skin, giving an instant brightened, translucent glow. Packed with 84% beauty-serum ingredients including niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and ceramide, it feels like water-light skincare rather than a heavy sunblock. For the Philippines' tropical heat, daily commutes and beach days, it doubles as sun defence and a no-makeup makeup base.
How to use
- Use as the final step of your morning skincare, after moisturiser and before makeup.
- Shake or stir the gel, then dispense an appropriate amount (about a one-yen-coin / 10-peso-coin size for the face).
- Spread evenly over the entire face; the purple tint blends out clear-to-luminous, correcting yellow tones as it sets.
- Extend onto the neck, chest and exposed body areas for all-over tone-up sun care.
- Reapply through the day after heavy sweating, swimming or towel-drying for continuous protection.
- At night, remove gently with your usual facial cleanser or body soap — no special makeup remover needed.
Ingredients
- Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate — primary UV-B filter that absorbs burning rays for SPF50+ defense
- Zinc Oxide & Titanium Dioxide — mineral broad-spectrum filters that physically deflect UV-A/UV-B with a soft-focus blur
- Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine — high-performance UV-A/UV-B absorber that delivers the PA++++ rating
- Niacinamide — moisturizing vitamin-B3 that supports a smoother, more even-looking complexion
- Sodium Hyaluronate — humectant that holds water in the skin for a dewy, plumped feel under the makeup-effect tint
- Glucosyl Ceramide — barrier-supporting ceramide that helps keep skin comfortable through long humid days
- CI 42090 (Blue 1) & CI 45160 (Red 226) — purple color-correcting pigments in the C03 Pure Purple shade that cancel sallow yellow tones for a brighter look
- Prunus Yedoensis (Sakura) Leaf Extract — botanical conditioning extract for a fresh, cared-for finish
FAQ
Is the purple colour visible on my skin?
No — the C03 Pure Purple tint blends out sheer and luminous, cancelling sallow yellow tones to leave a brighter, more even look rather than a purple cast.
Will it feel heavy or sticky in Philippine heat?
It has a famously water-light, fast-absorbing gel texture with 84% beauty-serum ingredients, so it stays comfortable and breathable even in humidity.
Can I wear makeup over it?
Yes — it works beautifully as a brightening, hydrating makeup base under foundation or BB cream, or on its own for a fresh no-makeup look.
Do I need a special remover?
No — just wash it off gently with your regular facial cleanser or body soap at the end of the day.
