Review

Results you may expect from using Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV SPF 50+ PA++++ C01 Cica Mint:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV SPF 50+ PA++++ C01 Cica Mint:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 4.0 out of 10.
  • Very high sun protection for prolonged sun exposure, such as spending the day at the beach, hiking, or outdoor sports.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV SPF 50+ PA++++ C01 Cica Mint has a moisturizing rating of 4.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 1.4 out of 10 and a high humectancy of 6.5 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Butylene Glycol (est. ≈5.0%).

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV SPF 50+ PA++++ C01 Cica Mint has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, this ingredient does not generate the anti-wrinkle rating.

Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, could deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Sun protection

Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV SPF 50+ PA++++ C01 Cica Mint has an SPF of 50 and provides very high sun protection. This level of protection is ideal for activities involving intense or prolonged sun exposure, such as spending the day at the beach, hiking, or outdoor sports. It is particularly recommended for individuals with fair skin, those at high risk of skin cancer, or in environments with intense sun exposure. Remember to apply sunscreen generously and reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating to maintain effectiveness.
