COUTUREUP Essence Cream UV is a moisturising Japanese sunscreen cream.
The sunscreen has a rich cream formula that is specially formulated to protect sensitive, dry skin without the use of UV absorbers, fragrance, alcohol, mineral oil, parabens, or synthetic colourants. It is renewed to better moisturise skin than the previous original formula released in 2016. A blend of 3 types of hyaluronic acid, 2 types of collagen, plant-based ceramide, and 7 skin-soothing herbal extracts deeply replenishes skin’s moisture to prevent dryness.
Ideally suited for everyday activities, the sunscreen cream provides long-lasting protection against daily UV exposure while creating a smooth base for better makeup application.

Hi, Ratzila!
I am interested in the CoutureUp Essence Cream UV. I was wondering does this leave a white cast? How does it compare to the &free Sensitive UV Cream as I believe they are both from the same brand Isehan?
Thank you
I haven’t tried it. I’d assume it’s fairly comparable to &free Sensitive UV Cream since they’re made by the same company. This has a very similar formula but with more bells and whistles.
Thank you for your answer. I’ll buy this Coutureup as soon as it becomes available on ebay or on other online shop. Hopefully it’ll happen very soon.
Hi, Ratzilla! Does it leave white cast? Is it elegant to wear? I have dermatitis so there isn’t a wide choice in sunscreens for me.
What do you think, does this sunscreen protect better than purito unscented or dear clair’s sunscreens?
They all are 50++++ but I guess Coutureup provied better protection?
Thank you
I haven’t tried this. Personally, I’m wary of Korean sunscreens in general so they’re not something I’d rely on. I’ve heard of the two brands you mentioned but I don’t know anything about their products.
Why are you wary or Korean sunscreens? If you or someone else has written about this already can you provide a link? Thanks!
Not just sunscreens, but their skincare products in general due to their lax regulations and laws on cosmetic ingredients and labelling (when compared to Japan and EU). I find it hard to trust the info (especially ingredients) provided — even if they’re from the manufacturers themselves. I’ve seen way too many glaring discrepancies and deliberate omission in the ingredient lists to believe whatever product info that is provided. It bothers me is that they can’t write a proper ingredient list. For e.g., it’s impossible for so many Korean products to lack water, solvents, and preservatives on the label. What is… Read more »
Thank you for the information! I also prefer the more stringent testing of sunscreens. Hopefully this sunscreen will be available online soon
It’s bizarre contradictory that you don’t trust Korean products, yet you continue to use them and even endorse some of them to your readers as “Best Picks”. Why do you use and even recommend products that you find unsafe and untrustworthy?
I don’t trust beauty/personal care products made in China whatsoever but that still didn’t stop me from buying (and loving) Zeesea products. I don’t find Korean skincare products unsafe in the sense that they are somehow harmful or dangerous. I’m wary of them in general for the reasons I mentioned. Yes, I have shared my thoughts on some Korean skincare products that I personally really like with readers but that doesn’t mean I don’t have my reservations about them. For example, it’s impossible the ingredients lists provided by Sidmool are complete. I have very resilient skin so I’m personally not… Read more »
I don’t follow your logic at all whatsoever. You’ve commented multiple times about how you don’t trust the safety and efficacy of products made in China so why on Earth would you use Chinese cosmetics? Your having very resilient skin makes absolutely no difference – just because a product doesn’t cause an obvious reaction to your skin doesn’t mean that it’s not doing your body any harm. And on the topic of Korean products – how is it not harmful and dangerous for a company like Purito to be dishonest about the protection provided in their sunscreen? If this oversight… Read more »
I feel my comment is being misconstrued. My comment about having resilient skin and not finding them unsafe was referring to K-beauty products overall. By “harmful or dangerous”, I meant potentially containing hidden illegal substances that would be a health hazard. I don’t have any sensitivity so I’m not concerned that the small handful of Korean creams and potions that I’ve tried and liked contain more ingredients (specifically solvents and preservatives) that are listed. Should I have kept those products to myself? Perhaps. I often hear people say that Korean skincare products are superior because they contain more beneficial ingredients… Read more »
It’s not possible to “misconstrue” your comments when you glaringly omit pertinent information – you said you “bought and loved” Zeesea products, so based on your comment, how exactly is one supposed to know that you bought them only for the packaging and don’t actually use them? Even for Korean products, how would a reader know that you draw the line at sunscreens when you’ve used and reviewed Korean sunscreens on your site? You say you’re wary of all Korean products, so how would one realize that sunscreens in particular are a no-no for you when you didn’t clearly state… Read more »
I only bought up Zeesea as a casual comment — an example that, yes, I’m filled with contradictions like everyone else. The point wasn’t why I bought them — it was the fact that I still happily gave them my money despite all my reservations. I provided the link to this comment thread in my reply on Twitter simply because it was the most recent on this topic. I’ve actually shared my opinion (some even with links to studies and articles!) on Korean beauty products overall and their sunscreens specifically here on my site and on Twitter countless times over… Read more »
