Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Cleanser 1025 독도 클렌저

⏱ 2 min read
Quick answer: 1025 Dokdo Cleanser is Round Lab's water cleanser (gel / foam). Combination, normal and mildly sensitive skin that wants something dependable twice a day.

The companion to Round Lab's 1025 Dokdo Toner, one of the most consistently recommended everyday cleansers in Korea. It is a low-pH gel that foams softly and rinses clean, built on the brand's deep-sea mineral water framing from the waters around 독도 (Dokdo). The formula is deliberately unexciting: no acids, no strong actives, no scent to speak of. That restraint is why it works as a daily wash for most people.

Who it suits

Combination, normal and mildly sensitive skin that wants something dependable twice a day. It is a particularly good default for people whose skin has been irritated by stronger cleansers and who need a reset. Very dry skin may still want a cream or milk cleanser in winter, and skin with heavy congestion will not find any treatment benefit here.

How to use it

A short strip on damp skin, worked to a light lather and massaged for around thirty seconds, then rinsed lukewarm. Morning and evening. In the evening, use it as the second step after an oil or balm if you have worn sunscreen or makeup. Follow with toner while the skin is still damp.

⚠️ Worth knowing: Deep-sea mineral water is marketing. There is no good evidence that mineral content in a rinse-off cleanser changes anything about skin, and the brand's whole identity leans on the idea. Judge the product on what it actually is — a mild, low-pH, fragrance-light daily gel — and it holds up well. Judge it on the Dokdo story and you are paying for geography.
