What it is
Ingredients
How to use
Take an appropriate amount (about one pump) and spread evenly over the entire face. After use, wipe the nozzle of the dispenser clean and close the cap tightly. If you use too little, you will not get sufficient UV protection. If it gets on your clothes, wash them immediately with detergent. When washing, avoid using chlorine bleach.

Paul & Joe Protecting Primer. First of all, it has a lovely jasmine scent, which lifts my spirits when I use it during my morning makeup routine. It's moisturizing and has a texture that spreads easily. It's easy to use because it doesn't smudge or flake on the skin. Some tone-up primers can be too white, but this one doesn't leave an unnatural white cast, which is a nice touch. It evens out the skin tone while providing just the right amount of tone, so your skin looks beautiful on its own. It also has good adhesion and doesn't smudge easily, which are great points. I think it's an easy item to use daily as a primer that naturally enhances your skin.
I received this as a gift from Suzykirei. Take an appropriate amount (about one pump) and spread it evenly over your entire face. The sweet, refreshing floral scent of orange flower is lovely and makes you feel elegant. The texture is light and easy to spread, leaving your skin fresh and translucent with a radiant glow. It contains about 90% serum, so it has a moisturizing feel like skincare and foundation adheres well.
I have very dry skin and my face quickly turns into a desert, but this primer stays in place and stays looking beautiful! It has a very refreshing texture and is easy to apply! It also brightens my complexion, so I recommend this primer! I've been buying it ever since I discovered it.
I won a free gift on Suzykirei. I used the moisturizing primer in color 01 a lot about 10 years ago. This is my first time using the protec-ting. It has the distinctive Por Jo scent, which I personally really like. The color is 00, a pinkish white with a pearly texture. It brightens your skin tone considerably when applied. I wonder if it makes my face look bigger if I use it on my whole face. I always end up reaching for a different colorless sunscreen... I think color 01 would be best if I buy it next. Lately, I've been using it more like a liquid highlighter than as a base. I apply a matte foundation and then dab this with a sponge on areas where I want to add height. It looks great.
I love this primer because it makes my skin look beautiful and even! It's easy to apply and blends well with my skin, and it's not sticky or heavy, so it's perfect for a sophisticated makeup look. I love that it tones my skin beautifully and doesn't dry out my skin!
