Streszczenie po polsku pod tekstem angielskim.


Paul in addition to Joe?

What the heck? The cite lonely would e'er build me rest away from this detail brand. 

My personal history alongside Pauls in addition to Joes did non bode well.

I've met a few Pauls inwards my life in addition to they were all assholes. And the only Joe that crossed my path turned out to live a scam creative individual in addition to only an all roughly creepy guy.

Enter Paul & Joe Beaute, which despite its trailer trash quasi-French cite in addition to woman individual French origins, is truly a Japanese cosmetic brand. With a cite similar Paul in addition to Joe it sounds similar it should live selling deodorant for truck drivers inwards the Midwest, or something. But no... Add a fancy French sounding "beaute" to the name, throw inwards cute visuals designed to appeal to kawaii-obsessed women, add together cats to the mix, in addition to you lot direct keep a successful mid-range cosmetic brand.

CATS???

You heard me right.

Just await at this 15th anniversary makeup collection.

This is what finally roped me in.

I went inwards looking for cats. I left alongside a novel sunscreen. And thence I got some other sun-something gifted to me (thank you lot Ms Y!) for expert measure.

So, without whatsoever farther ado, allow me innovate today's, sadly cat-free, contestant.

Paul & Joe Dominicus Protection Gel Milk SPF50+ PA++++

It's the i on the left.

Paul & Joe Dominicus Protection Gel Milk SPF50+ PA++++ was launched inwards Nippon on Apr 7, 2017 in addition to it's the brand's best Sun protection offered inside its collection to date. Or somesuch.

This is what Paul & Joe says near Paul & Joe Dominicus Protection Gel Milk SPF50+ PA++++ :

So yeah, I wanted cats. Instead I got this.

It's been almost iii weeks in addition to I hollo back it's long plenty to introduce my thoughts.

Let's locomote on it short. 

I similar the thought of this sunscreen. And the texture. 

I loathe everything else.

First, ohmyfreakingod, the smell. The scent of this matter makes your eyes H2O in addition to your olfactory organ drip. It tin too build your domestic pets desire to commit fierce acts of crazed destruction. 

The build calls it "sunshine bouquet" alongside fresh fragrance of bergamot in addition to lemon in addition to whatever else.

I telephone telephone it low-end trailer trash perfume. It smells similar a modest town shopping mall inwards the Midwest. And it lasts. And lasts. And lasts... It lasts pretty much all twenty-four hours until you lot launder it off. 

This is likely the longest lasting fragrance inwards a sunscreen that I direct keep ever experienced. And trust me, I've experienced plenty of sunscreens.

It seems that Paul & Joe didn't quite know what to telephone telephone this sunscreen. Because, let's confront it, the Japanese sunscreen marketplace position is real crowded. We direct keep literally everything you lot tin hollo back of. And likely a few things you lot can't. It's a real competitive scene in addition to what's a build to do inwards club to stand upwards out in addition to build a statement?

They should direct keep gone alongside cats, if you lot enquire me.

Instead they called this matter "gel milk".

Yep. It's a gel. It's a milk. It's a gel milk, you lot people.

But, every bit it commonly happens inwards such cases, Paul & Joe Dominicus Protection Gel Milk SPF50+ PA++++ is neither.

Here, accept a look.

It feels to a greater extent than creamy than gely in addition to definitely non milky. It does plow into something resembling watery gel when applied in addition to spread out on the skin. However, fifty-fifty thence the skinfeel is of a cream, non a gel. And definitely non of milk.

Having said that, I truly similar the texture. It's creamy but light, in addition to I truly prefer creamy products.

As you lot tin see, the underground is quite big. Considering the green size of Japanese sunscreens (around thirty grams), this matter is double the size at 75 grams internet weight.

The price? 2800 yen addition tax, which comes to 3024 yen total.

Sounds expensive, until you lot do a petty math.

This underground is 75 grams. 

So here, nosotros basically larn thirty grams for 1120 yen pre-tax. Suddenly, nosotros are firmly inwards the lower destination drugstore category. 

The explanation for it is real simple. The ingredients are real basic in addition to no-frills.

Here, accept a look.

Paul & Joe Dominicus Protection Gel Milk SPF50+ PA++++ element list:

Looks similar your garden-variety no-name basic Japanese sunscreen, doesn't it?

I plugged them into CosDNA for your reading pleasance - link.

Paul & Joe Dominicus Protection Gel Milk SPF50+ PA++++ is a chemic sunscreen alongside the next UV absorbers:

• Octinoxate
• Uvinul H5N1 Plus
• Tinosorb S
• and Parsol SLX.

It covers the whole attain of UVA1 in addition to UVA2 in addition to UVB. Nothing to complain near here.

And every bit most Japanese chemic sunscreens, it too contains alcohol (ethanol).

I am pretty certain that the fierce "fresh" fragrance is at that topographic point alone to mask the stench of ethanol. The alcohol tin live felt on the skin, no doubtfulness near it. But, dissimilar the fragrance, it evaporates pretty quickly. And fifty-fifty though I commonly dislike formulations alongside ethanol every bit the bit ingredient, this i does non bother my skin. At to the lowest degree it did non bother me on the days when I truly managed to wearable this this matter for the whole day. 

Testing Paul & Joe Dominicus Protection Gel Milk SPF50+ PA++++ was an practise inwards self control. I had to larn my heed into that zen dry soil of higher consciousness to live able to ignore the stench. I mean, the smell. I mean, the fresh bouquet fragrance. I managed to attain it past times non taking my hay fever medication in addition to becoming a oral cavity breather. No worries, I wore a mask inwards public.

Paul & Joe Dominicus Protection Gel Milk SPF50+ PA++++ swatches:

Despite its lovely texture in addition to the company's assurances of moisturizing properties, it isn't moisturizing at all. It absorbs to a slight sheen, which disappears afterward an hour, or thence (if worn without makeup). The feeling of freshness lasts a yoke of hours at the most. I suppose it would operate peachy for oily or normal skin, but for dry out pare it's a no go.

Here is what the leaflet that was inwards the box says:

All standard, garden-variety sunscreen claims. No bells in addition to whistles here.

Paul & Joe Dominicus Protection Gel Milk SPF50+ PA++++ does seem to operate every bit a makeup base, but thence again, I don't wearable that much makeup. 

I couldn't honor whatsoever claims of sweat- or sebum- or waterproofness anywhere on the box or the leaflet.

Time to summarize.

Paul & Joe Dominicus Protection Gel Milk SPF50+ PA++++ pros:

- texture

- stable, total UV protection

- skinfeel

- cost per gram (yes, I am putting it inwards the "drugstore category")

Paul & Joe Dominicus Protection Gel Milk SPF50+ PA++++ cons:

- fragrance

- smell

- stench

- ugh, the stink of this thing

- everything else.

And that concludes my review of Paul & Joe Dominicus Protection Gel Milk SPF50+ PA++++.

Now let's chop-chop accept a await at this express edition abomination - Paul & Joe Suncream.

Ms Y got it for me, thence I would direct keep the whole set. I would direct keep never bought it on my own, because I only can't figure out the role of a "suncream". 

Sorry, but only a total idiot thinks that tanning tin live condom in addition to is expert for our skin.

There is no such matter every bit "safe tan". 

Tan way your pare is burning. Tan way pare damage.  There is absolutely zippo "perfect" near it.

The overpowering scent nosotros all know in addition to love hate is all the same there.

The consistency is indeed creamy.

But the best part? It is a lot to a greater extent than moisturizing than its SPF50+ brother. Here, nosotros direct keep alcohol farther downward the element list. 

I'm using Paul & Joe Suncream every bit a manus cream. My hands are far plenty from my olfactory organ that the odor doesn't slay me. 

So at that topographic point you lot direct keep it.

Paul & Joe Dominicus Protection Gel Milk SPF50+ PA++++ in addition to Paul & Joe Suncream.

Final verdict? 

Meh. You powerfulness every bit good purchase Biore Watery Essence. Or a yoke of frappuccinos.




Streszczenie po polsku...

Poniewaz kosmetyki Paul & Joe sa dostepne w wielu krajach Europy, dodaje opinie po polsku.

Po pierwsze, ta nazwa. Gdyby jakas polska firma kosmetyczna nazwala sie "Pawel i Jozek" i zaczela sprzedawac wcale nietanie kosmetyki, to nie bardzo moge sobie wyobrazic jak zostalaby przyjeta przez publike.
Nazwa Paul & Joe mnie odrzuca, ale skoro mialam okazje sprobowac Paul & Joe Dominicus Protection Gel Milk SPF50+ PA++++ , to nie chcialam tej szansy zmarnowac. Szczegolnie, ze filtry SPF wszelakie to moja wielka milosc.

No i jak wyszlo nam z Pawelkiem i Jozkiem? Ano, niezbyt dobrze.
H5N1 wszystko przez okropny perfumowy zapach tego specyfiku. On nie pachnie. On po prostu zajezdza tanimi perfumami jak pani od katechizmu na odpuscie.
Sam filtr ma kremowa konsystencje (prosze nie wierzyc slowom "gel milk", bo to nie jest ani zel ani mleczko), nie bieli, ladnie sie wchlania, na skorze zachowuje sie wysmienicie, nadaje sie pod makijaz i oferuje pelna ochrone UV (UVA1, UVA2 oraz UVB).
Nie jest nawilzajacy, wiec skory suche nie beda larn lubialy. Natomiast normalne, mieszane w kierunku tlustych nie powinny miec z nim problemow.

Jest to filtr chemiczny i niestety ma etanol (alkohol) na drugim miejscu w skladzie.
Jak na filtr japonski (tak, jest on produkowany w Japonii), tubka jest gigantyczna, bo zawiera az 75 gramow produktu. Cena per gram jest przecietna jak na warunki japonskie.
Jesli ktos nie jest wrazliwy na zapachy i nie przeszkadza mu fakt, ze bedzie zalatywal wonnym bukietem rodem z jarmarku, to prosze bardzo, bedzie z Pawelka i Jozka bardzo zadowolony. Biale kozaczki do kompletu i pelen szyk.
