Let’s talk about the one step we sometimes rush: cleansing. If you’ve been using harsh face washes that leave your skin tight and squeaky… stop right now. The Round Lab Dokdo Cleanser is the total opposite – and that’s exactly why it’s gone viral in Korea and on skincare TikTok.
Here’s what makes it so special (and why my skin won’t let me switch).
What Is It?
The Dokdo Cleanser from Round Lab is a low pH gel-to-foam cleanser made for sensitive, dry, or easily irritated skin. It’s gentle, hydrating, and just the right amount of foamy.
Oh, and it’s powered by deep sea water from Ulleungdo Island (yes, that’s real) — packed with minerals your skin actually loves.
What It Doesn’t Do:
- Strip your skin
- Sting your eyes
- Leave your face feeling like a desert
Instead, it:
- Balances your pH
- Calms redness
- Keeps your skin barrier happy
If your skin gets mad easily — this cleanser is like peace in a bottle.
What’s Inside (and Why It Matters)
Deep Sea Water – full of magnesium, calcium, and 72 minerals
Panthenol & Allantoin – soothe and protect
Mild surfactants – cleanse without irritating
No alcohol, no fragrance, no nonsense. Just clean, calming care.
How It Feels
A little goes a long way — it lathers into a soft, bouncy foam and rinses off easily without leaving residue.
After cleansing, my skin feels clean but not tight, just soft, smooth, and hydrated.
It’s basically the “clean slate” every skincare routine needs.
Who’s It For?
Perfect for:
- Sensitive or reactive skin
- Dry or combination skin
- Anyone who overdid it with exfoliants (oops)
- People who just want a simple, good cleanser that actually works
Final Thoughts
No fancy scent. No gimmicks. Just a really, really good cleanser that respects your skin and keeps your moisture barrier intact.
The Round Lab Dokdo Cleanser isn’t trying to do everything. It just does cleansing right – and sometimes, that’s exactly what your skin needs.
