A limited-edition half-size of the strongest*2 UV-cut primer that keeps your skin looking fresh, translucent and radiant*1 without breaking it. *1 Makeup effect *2 The brand's highest domestic standard UV cut index (SPF50+/PA++++) To commemorate the first anniversary of the launch of Paul & Joe's popular UV-cut primer, "Protecting Primer," a limited-edition half-size is now available! We have selected two popular colors from Paul & Joe's primers, which are so popular that some users even use the primer alone to finish their makeup. This size is convenient for your first encounter or reunion with "Protecting Primer," as well as for travel and for using both colors interchangeably every day. ・While offering the highest level of UV protection in Japan, it has a fresh feel and a finish that feels translucent. It covers dullness, uneven skin tone, pores, and other skin imperfections, creating a smooth and even complexion with a translucent, radiant look. Furthermore, it is meticulously formulated to resist creasing, preventing makeup breakdown caused by various factors such as dryness, excess sebum, and the adhesion of the makeup film. Even in seasons when base makeup can be stressful, it firmly maintains a fresh, beautiful, and radiant complexion. ・12-hour makeup longevity: Long-lasting application and minimal pore visibility (according to brand research; individual results may vary) ・Features blue light protection. <Beauty ingredients> Moisturizing ingredients: Orange flower water (orange blossom water), white lily extract (Madonna lily root extract), acetylated hyaluronic acid (sodium acetylated hyaluronate), hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate), niacinamide, guava extract (guava leaf extract), phospholipid polymer (polyquaternium-51) Emollient ingredient: Jojoba oil (jojoba seed oil) How to use ○Take an appropriate amount (about 1 pump) and spread evenly over the entire face. ○After use, wipe the nozzle of the dispenser clean and close the cap tightly. ◆Insufficient UV protection will not be achieved if the amount used is insufficient. ◆If it gets on clothing, wash it thoroughly with detergent immediately.
