Goodal Houttuynia Hyaluron Soothing Pore Cleansing Oil

What is this product?

Goodal's Houttuynia Hyaluron Soothing Pore Cleansing Oil is a 200ml corn germ oil cleanser whose headline ingredients are disclosed at levels close to nothing: the 어성초추출물 in its name and the ten hyaluronate forms behind it run from 0.00015 ppm down to 0.00004 ppm. The label is long for a cleansing oil, with a fruit and botanical extract block, nine essential oils and five ceramides with cholesterol, so the scent load is the practical thing to weigh here. Its statutory table records no functional-cosmetic review.

What makes it different?

Eleven of its ingredients come with a printed amount, which is rare and, here, self-defeating: the usual argument about whether an ingredient sits high enough on a list turns into arithmetic, and the arithmetic goes against it. The other unusual thing is how little the brand sells it. No promotional sentence for this oil turned up in the pages collected here, so the product name and two rows of the statutory spec table carry the entire claim, which is the opposite of the usual problem in this category.

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 2 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. One of them holds up. The rest are only partly right or have nothing behind them.

Claims translated from Korean, originals preserved.
