Dealing with skin that feels tight, irritated, or stripped after washing can be frustrating. This cleanser is designed to end that cycle.

• Who it's for: All skin types, especially sensitive, dry, and combination skin.
• What it does: Cleanses away impurities, fine dust, and makeup residue while maintaining the skin's natural moisture balance.

1. 1) [THIS PRODUCT] — Squeeze a dime-sized amount, lather with water, and gently massage onto your face. Rinse with lukewarm water.
2. 2) Toner/Moisturiser — Follow with your favorite hydrating toner and/or moisturiser to lock in hydration.
3. 3) Sunscreen (AM) — Always finish your morning routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Note: Already own a gentle cleanser? Finish that first to practice mindful consumption (substitute, don’t stack).

A simple morning cleanse to start the day fresh.

1. 1) [THIS PRODUCT] — Gently wash away sweat and impurities from the night.
2. 2) Hydrating Toner (Optional) — A splash of a hydrating toner like the ROUND LAB 1025 Dokdo Toner can prep skin for the next steps.
3. 3) Serum (Optional) — Apply a targeted serum if needed (e.g., Vitamin C for brightening).
4. 4) Moisturiser — A light layer to hydrate.
5. 5) Sunscreen SPF 30+ — The most crucial step to protect your skin barrier and results.

Thoroughly cleanse the day away without irritation.

1. 1) Oil Cleanser (if wearing makeup/sunscreen) — Start with an oil cleanser (like the ROUND LAB 1025 Dokdo Cleansing Oil) to dissolve makeup and SPF. This is the first step of a "double cleanse."
2. 2) [THIS PRODUCT] — Follow with this foam cleanser to wash away any remaining residue and water-based impurities.
3. 3) Actives/Serums — Apply any treatment serums (e.g., exfoliants, retinoids).
4. 4) Moisturiser — Lock in hydration with a nourishing cream to support your skin barrier overnight.

Daily Use — AM & PM:

• Amount: A dime-sized amount.
• Method: Lather a small amount with water to create a rich foam. Gently massage onto the entire face, avoiding the immediate eye and mouth area. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
• Frequency: Use once or twice daily.

If-This / Then-That:

• If wearing heavy makeup or waterproof sunscreen? Use this as the second step of a double cleanse, after an oil-based cleanser.
• If your skin feels extra sensitive? This cleanser is gentle enough, but ensure you are not using water that is too hot, which can cause irritation.
• If you have very oily skin? This cleanser is effective, but ensure you follow up with a light, non-comedogenic moisturiser to keep your skin balanced.

Safety: Avoid broken or irritated skin. Stop use if a burning rash occurs. Safe for teens looking for a gentle, effective first cleanser.

• Daily: This is a gentle cleanser suitable for use every morning and evening.

This cleanser forms the foundation of your routine. It cleanses the skin to prepare it for any active ingredients you use on alternating nights, such as exfoliants (AHA/BHA) or retinoids.

• AM/PM Cheat-Sheet: Use this cleanser daily before applying other products. It works well to remove residue before morning Vitamin C and to clean skin before evening exfoliants or retinoids.

• Immediately: Skin feels clean, soft, and comfortable without any tightness or dryness. Makeup and daily grime are effectively removed.
• 2–4 weeks: With consistent use, your skin's moisture barrier feels more supported. You may notice less sensitivity and a more balanced complexion, as the low-pH formula helps maintain a healthy skin environment.
• 4–8+ weeks: Skin maintains a healthy hydration level. By not stripping the skin, this cleanser helps your other skincare products work more effectively, leading to a clearer, calmer, and more resilient complexion over time.

Why use a pH-balanced cleanser, not harsh soap?

Many people believe a "squeaky clean" feeling means their skin is truly clean. However, that tight feeling is often a sign that you've stripped your skin's natural protective oils and disrupted its healthy acidic pH. Harsh soaps or high-pH cleansers can damage the skin barrier, leading to dryness, irritation, and even more breakouts as your skin overproduces oil to compensate. This cleanser uses gentle, amino acid-based surfactants and maintains a low pH (~5.0-6.0), which respects your skin's natural state, cleaning effectively while keeping the barrier strong and healthy. (Evidence: Ingredient rationale)

As a gentle wash-off product, the 1025 Dokdo Cleanser is compatible with virtually all other skincare ingredients and products.

• Works with: All skincare actives, including retinoids, Vitamin C, exfoliants (AHAs, BHAs), niacinamide, and peptides. It provides a clean, calm canvas that helps these ingredients absorb effectively.
• Use carefully with: No major conflicts. The only caution is for those with extremely compromised skin barriers, who may find any form of cleansing mildly sensitizing. In such cases, use only once a day (PM) and rinse with water in the morning.

• Dry Skin: Excellent. Cleanses without stripping essential lipids, preventing the tight, uncomfortable feeling common with other cleansers.
• Sensitive Skin: Excellent. The minimal, fragrance-free formula with soothing ingredients like Panthenol and Allantoin is ideal for reactive skin.
• Combination Skin: Excellent. Effectively cleanses oily T-zones without over-drying normal or dry cheek areas.
• Normal Skin: Excellent. A perfect daily cleanser to maintain skin health and balance.
• Oily & Acne-Prone Skin: Good. Effectively removes excess sebum and impurities. While it may not feel as "stripping" as some acne-specific cleansers, its gentle nature helps prevent the rebound oil production that can lead to more breakouts.

• Gentle Daily Cleansing: For those who need to effectively remove impurities, fine dust, and makeup without causing irritation.
• Dryness & Tightness After Washing: The hydrating formula helps maintain the skin's moisture balance, leaving it comfortable and soft.
• Skin Barrier Support: The low-pH and mineral-rich formula helps protect and maintain a healthy skin barrier, reducing sensitivity over time.
• Redness & Irritation: Contains soothing ingredients like Allantoin and Panthenol to calm and protect irritated skin.

Key Actives Explained:

• Sea Water (Maris Aqua): Sourced from 1,500 meters below sea level off Dokdo Island, this deep sea water is exceptionally pure and rich in over 74 types of natural minerals (like magnesium, calcium, and zinc) that help soothe the skin and maintain its moisture balance. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Triple Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid): A combination of low, medium, and high molecular weight hyaluronic acids that hydrate the skin at different levels. They form a moisture film on the skin's surface to prevent water loss and deliver hydration deeper into the epidermis for a plump, moisturized feel. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): A soothing and hydrating ingredient that helps strengthen the skin barrier, reduce moisture loss, and calm irritation. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Allantoin: A gentle, non-irritating compound that soothes and protects the skin. It helps calm redness and supports skin healing. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Ceramide NP: A skin-identical lipid that is a crucial component of the skin barrier. It helps to lock in moisture, prevent dryness, and protect the skin from external aggressors. (Ingredient Rationale)

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-free. It does not contain any added artificial fragrances. Some users note a very faint, neutral "unintentional" scent from the raw ingredients, but it is not perfumed.
• Scent Intensity: 0/5
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand. The formula does not contain common essential oils or fragrance components listed as allergens.

Who should use this: Ideal for anyone seeking a gentle, non-stripping daily cleanser, including those with sensitive, dry, or easily irritated skin. It is an excellent choice for teenagers or those new to skincare.

Who should use with caution: While extremely gentle, individuals with a known allergy to any specific ingredient in the INCI list should avoid use.

Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a pea-sized amount to a small, discreet area of skin, like behind your ear or on your inner jawline. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or burning. If a reaction occurs, discontinue use.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: The formula is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding as it is a gentle, wash-off product without strong actives like retinoids or high-concentration salicylic acid. However, it is always best to consult with your doctor.

• Texture & Finish: A thick, creamy paste that transforms into a dense, cushiony foam when mixed with water. It rinses off cleanly, leaving skin feeling soft and hydrated, not stripped or tight.
• Scent: Unscented.
• pH: 5.0 - 6.0. This slightly acidic pH is close to the skin's natural pH, helping to maintain a healthy skin barrier.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: The formula contains Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, which is generally considered FA-safe. However, individual responses can vary. Patch testing is advised if you are highly prone to fungal acne.

• Issue: My skin doesn't feel "squeaky clean."
  Quick Fix: That's a good thing! The "squeaky clean" feeling means your skin's protective barrier has been stripped. This cleanser is designed to clean effectively while leaving your skin's natural moisture intact. If you wear heavy makeup, ensure you are double cleansing with an oil cleanser first for a thorough clean.
• Issue: I have very oily skin and it doesn't feel strong enough.
  Quick Fix: This cleanser balances the skin. By not over-stripping, it helps prevent your skin from producing even more oil to compensate. Give it 2-4 weeks to help regulate your skin's oil-water balance. You can pair it with a BHA toner for extra pore-clearing action.
• Issue: My skin feels a slight sting.
  Quick Fix: This is uncommon as the formula is very gentle. Ensure you are not using water that is too hot. If stinging persists, your skin barrier may be severely compromised, and you should simplify your routine to just this cleanser and a barrier-repair cream until the irritation subsides.

This cleanser is an excellent match for our tropical climate.

• Humid Summers: It effectively removes sweat, excess sebum, and sunscreen without adding to the feeling of heaviness or stripping the skin, which can lead to more oil production in the heat.
• Drier Winters / AC Environments: Its hydrating properties ensure that skin does not become tight or dehydrated, a common issue when moving between humid outdoor air and dry, air-conditioned indoors.

Aggregated sentiment from real users highlights this cleanser as a holy grail for gentle, non-stripping cleansing.

"the best cleanser i've ever used! it's my fifth packaging and i will repurchase it over and over again. it's super gentle and doesn't over-dry the skin."

A Reddit user with combination skin that gets easily oily praised its effectiveness, noting: "I love how it makes my face feel clean, yet doesn't make it tight or dry. I was actually worried at first... because I'm so used to the dry, tight, feeling with cleansers. This is true even after double cleansing... My skin still feels supple and moisturized."

Fair Caveat: Some users with extremely sensitive skin or a compromised barrier have reported a slight stinging sensation. One user on Reddit mentioned, "I have extremely sensitive skin and the Dokdo cleanser caused stinging for me too." This suggests that while it is very gentle for most, those with severe sensitivity should patch test carefully.

1. Can this cleanser remove makeup by itself?

It can remove light makeup effectively. However, for heavy, waterproof makeup or long-wearing sunscreen, we strongly recommend using it as the second step of a "double cleanse" after an oil-based cleanser for the most thorough removal.

2. Is it really good for sensitive skin?

Yes, it is formulated specifically for sensitive skin. Its low-pH, fragrance-free formula and inclusion of soothing ingredients like panthenol and allantoin make it one of the gentlest yet effective cleansers available.

3. Is the ROUND LAB 1025 Dokdo Cleanser fungal acne safe?

The ingredient list is generally considered safe for those with Malassezia folliculitis (fungal acne), as it does not contain most common triggers like polysorbates or fatty acids that feed the yeast. However, everyone's skin is different, so a patch test is still recommended.
