Goodal Soothing: Hyaluron Skincare and SPF Guide
Goodal's soothing collection at skinsli spans two product families that share a calming-first philosophy: the Erseongcho Hyaluron line, which covers the core cleanse-tone-treat-moisturise routine, and the Clear soothing sunscreen range, which adds SPF protection with low-irritation formulas. The brand is part of the Charmzone group and focuses on functional Korean skincare backed by fermented plant extract technology. With 36+ products in stock, it is one of the more complete single-brand routines available at skinsli.
Erseongcho Hyaluron - the soothing skincare line
The Erseongcho Hyaluron range is named after "erseongcho" - a Korean reference to water parsley or a similar herbal plant extract used in traditional Korean skincare for its calming and hydrating properties. Hyaluron (hyaluronic acid) is the primary moisturising active layered through the line. Together they create a calming-hydration approach that suits sensitised, dry, or reactive skin.
Four core products in the line are in stock: Erseongcho Hyaluron Soothing Toner 350 ml, Erseongcho Hyaluron Soothing Ampoule 50 ml, Erseongcho Hyaluron Soothing Cream 75 ml, and Erseongcho Hyaluron Soothing Pore Cleansing Oil 200 ml. They are designed to be used in sequence as a complete routine.
Erseongcho Hyaluron Soothing Toner 350 ml
The toner is the largest format in the line at 350 ml - a practical size for a step that is typically applied twice daily. Hyaluronic acid in the formula delivers humectant hydration immediately post-cleanse, while the erseongcho extract provides calming support that reduces post-cleanse redness for reactive skin types.
The large bottle makes it suitable for a 7-skin method approach - layering multiple thin applications of toner back-to-back for intensive hydration without a heavier product. For standard use, apply with a cotton pad or pat directly into the skin after cleansing and before any serum or ampoule.
Erseongcho Hyaluron Soothing Ampoule 50 ml
The ampoule is the concentrated treatment step - higher active content than the toner in a smaller volume. Apply two to three drops after toning and press gently into the skin. The hyaluronic acid here works at a deeper level than in the toner, penetrating the surface layers and binding water to the deeper epidermal layers for sustained hydration rather than just surface moisture.
Ampoules in the Korean routine are used between toner and moisturiser. The Erseongcho ampoule is light enough to use twice daily alongside the toner without over-layering. For very dry or dehydrated skin, using both the toner and ampoule consistently provides a more sustained improvement than either alone.
Erseongcho Hyaluron Soothing Cream 75 ml
The cream is the final seal step in the Erseongcho routine - it locks in the hydration delivered by the toner and ampoule and creates a protective layer over the skin surface. At 75 ml it is a standard facial cream size, appropriate for two to three months of daily use.
The cream texture sits between a gel-cream and a traditional rich moisturiser - it is substantial enough to provide genuine barrier support without feeling heavy. For combination skin it is best applied to drier areas (cheeks, forehead) with less on oily zones. For dry skin it can be used all over twice daily without excess.
Erseongcho Hyaluron Soothing Pore Cleansing Oil 200 ml
The cleansing oil extends the Erseongcho philosophy into the cleansing step - it is a gentle oil-phase first cleanser that removes SPF, makeup, and excess sebum while maintaining the calming-hydration approach of the rest of the line. The inclusion of hyaluron in a cleansing oil is unusual; it helps buffer the cleansing step so the skin surface retains more moisture post-removal than with a standard oil cleanser.
Apply to dry skin, massage in circular motions, emulsify with water, and rinse. At 200 ml it is on the larger side for a cleansing oil - practical for daily use without running out quickly. Follow with the Erseongcho toner for a fully Erseongcho cleanse-to-tone routine.
Clear soothing sunscreens - Fish Candle and Erseong Candle
Goodal's Clear range of soothing sunscreens includes several formats under the Fish Candle and Erseong Candle sub-names. The soothing positioning is aimed at skin that reacts to conventional SPF formulas - the lightweight, low-irritation bases are designed to be tolerated by sensitised skin where heavier sunscreens cause congestion or redness.
Products in stock include: Clear Fish Candle Soothing Sunscreen 50 ml, Clear Fish Candle Soothing Moisture Sunscreen 50 ml, Clear Fish Candle Soothing Cooling Sunstick 19 g, Erseong Candle Soothing Hyaluronic Sun Serum 50 ml, and Clear Erseong Candle Soothing Inorganic Tea Sunscreen 50 ml.
Cooling Sunstick - portable SPF reapplication
The Clear Fish Candle Soothing Cooling Sunstick 19 g is a stick-format SPF designed for on-the-go reapplication. Stick formats apply without touching the face with fingers, which keeps the application hygienic and does not disturb makeup applied underneath. The cooling component adds immediate sensory relief on warm or sun-exposed skin.
At 19 g it is compact enough for a small bag or pocket. The sunstick is specifically useful for outdoor activities or commutes where reapplying liquid SPF every two hours is inconvenient. It does not replace the initial application of a full-coverage liquid sunscreen in the morning, but it is a practical top-up tool.
Erseong Candle Soothing Hyaluronic Sun Serum
The Erseong Candle Soothing Hyaluronic Sun Serum 50 ml is a hybrid sunscreen-serum that bridges the final moisturising step and SPF in a single product. Adding hyaluronic acid to an SPF formula addresses the common experience of sunscreens feeling dry or pulling - the hyaluron keeps the finish dewy and comfortable throughout the day.
It is particularly useful for dry skin types who find that standard sunscreens leave their skin feeling tight by midday. The serum-SPF hybrid can replace both the final moisturiser and SPF steps in a simplified morning routine, reducing the number of products needed before applying makeup or heading out.
Inorganic Tea Sunscreen
The Clear Erseong Candle Soothing Inorganic Tea Sunscreen 50 ml uses an inorganic (mineral) UV filter - typically titanium dioxide and/or zinc oxide. Mineral filters sit on the skin surface and physically reflect UV rather than absorbing it, which is gentler on sensitised skin that reacts to chemical filter ingredients. The tea extract pairing adds antioxidant backup.
Mineral sunscreens have historically left a white cast, but modern Korean formulations have largely addressed this with micronised particles. For very fair skin, a slight glow-finish is typically undetectable. For medium to deep skin tones, the Hyaluronic Sun Serum or the standard Fish Candle SPF may be a better fit for finish transparency.
Building a routine with Goodal Soothing
A complete morning and evening routine using Goodal Soothing products:
- Morning cleanse - Erseongcho Hyaluron Pore Cleansing Oil (or a gentle foam)

This is a straightforward six-step routine that keeps actives within the same brand and philosophy. For simplified mornings, the Hyaluronic Sun Serum can replace both the cream and the sunscreen in one step.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the Goodal Soothing collection?
The Goodal Soothing collection at skinsli groups 36+ calming-focused products from the Goodal brand - primarily the Erseongcho Hyaluron skincare line (toner, ampoule, cream, and cleansing oil) and the Clear soothing sunscreen range (regular SPF, moisture SPF, cooling sunstick, hyaluronic sun serum, and inorganic mineral SPF). All are designed for low-irritation use on sensitive or reactive skin.
What is Erseongcho extract?
Erseongcho refers to a Korean herbal plant extract - a water parsley-type plant used in traditional Korean formulations for calming and hydrating skin. In the Goodal Erseongcho Hyaluron line it is paired with hyaluronic acid to create a dual-action formula: the plant extract reduces redness and irritation while hyaluronic acid delivers sustained moisture. Together they suit skin that needs both calming and hydration.
Is hyaluron the same as hyaluronic acid?
Yes. Hyaluron is the shortened name commonly used on Korean beauty labels for hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate in INCI nomenclature). It is a humectant that draws water to the skin surface and holds it there, reducing trans-epidermal water loss. In the Erseongcho Hyaluron line it appears across toner, ampoule, and cream for consistent moisture delivery through every step.
Is the 350 ml Erseongcho Hyaluron Soothing Toner worth the larger size?
Yes - at 350 ml it is sized for sustained daily use or for the 7-skin method (multiple thin layers of toner applied consecutively for intensive hydration). For once-daily use, a 350 ml bottle typically lasts three to five months. It is the most economical size in the Erseongcho lineup and a sensible bulk purchase if you have confirmed the formula suits your skin in a smaller format.
Is the Goodal Clear soothing sunscreen safe for sensitive skin?
The Clear range is specifically formulated for low-irritation SPF - it is designed for skin types that react to conventional sunscreens. The soothing base reduces the redness risk that some sensitised skin types experience with SPF application. For maximum safety on very reactive skin, the inorganic mineral version (Clear Erseong Candle Soothing Inorganic Tea Sunscreen) uses physical UV filters that sit on the skin rather than absorbing into it, which is generally gentler.
How do I use the Goodal Cooling Sunstick correctly?
Apply the sunstick over the morning's existing sunscreen and makeup as a mid-day reapplication. Glide the stick gently over exposed areas - face, neck, back of hands - and press any excess in with your fingertips. It does not need to be rubbed in aggressively. The sunstick should not replace your morning full-coverage liquid SPF application; it is a reapplication tool designed for convenience and portability.
Do I apply the Erseongcho Ampoule before or after the toner?
After. In the Korean routine sequence, toner comes first (applied to freshly cleansed skin), then ampoule (the concentrated treatment step), then cream (the moisture seal). The toner preps and hydrates the skin surface, making it more receptive to the higher-concentration actives in the ampoule. Applying the ampoule to dry unsoftened skin reduces its absorption.
Can the Hyaluronic Sun Serum replace my moisturiser in the morning?
For most skin types it can replace the moisturiser-plus-SPF step combination in the morning - the serum-SPF hybrid provides both hydration and UV protection in one layer. For dry skin in cold or dry-air conditions, a thin layer of the Erseongcho Cream underneath the serum-SPF gives stronger barrier support. For normal to combination skin in regular conditions, the serum-SPF alone is sufficient.
What is the difference between the inorganic mineral sunscreen and the standard Fish Candle SPF?
The inorganic (mineral) sunscreen uses physical filters (titanium dioxide or zinc oxide) that reflect UV light from the skin surface - gentler for very sensitive or reactive skin. The standard Fish Candle sunscreens use chemical filters that absorb UV before it reaches the skin - they tend to have a more transparent finish and sit more comfortably under makeup. Both provide effective UV protection; the choice depends on filter tolerance and finish preference.
