How it works
Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Cleansing Oil is built as a cleansing oil, so its texture and finish are designed around one specific place in a routine rather than several. The formula's own ingredient list carries Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5), Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate among its named ingredients, placed at a level consistent with a cleansing oil rather than a spot treatment. The texture is built for use first, as the oil half of a double cleanse, before your water-based foam cleanser, which is why it behaves differently on skin than a product meant for a different point in a routine. This is the Korean-market formula of the 1025 dokdo cleansing oil, the version sold on shelves in Korea rather than a formula reworked for a different market.
Key benefits
- Six named plant oils carry the dissolving work: evening primrose, meadowfoam, avocado, grape seed, canola, macadamia
- Sea water, entry twelve, is the ingredient the 1025 Dokdo line is named for
- Ceramide NP and hyaluronic acid stay in the formula after the oils, unusual for a cleansing oil
- A full free amino acid run backs the barrier claim behind the oils
- 200 ml, sized as the first step of a double cleanse
Key actives
Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5)
A humectant and skin-conditioning agent that helps the formula feel soft and comfortable rather than tight once it has absorbed, a staple of Korean toners and creams.
Hyaluronic Acid
A water-binding humectant that helps the surface feel plumper and less tight through the day, sitting on skin rather than sinking below it.
Sodium Hyaluronate
A smaller-molecule form of hyaluronic acid that spreads easily and helps the finish feel dewy rather than heavy.
Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid
A low-molecular-weight form of hyaluronic acid, included for a lighter, faster-absorbing hydration layer than the standard-weight form alone would give this particular formula.
Allantoin
A conditioning ingredient long used in Korean skincare to keep a formula feeling calm and comfortable on skin that runs sensitive.

Is this the same formula sold in Korea, or a version made for the US market?
This is the Korean-market formula, the same one sold on shelves in Korea, not a separate version reformulated for US retail. The pack you open matches what a shopper in Seoul buys.
Where does this step go in a routine?
It belongs first, as the oil half of a double cleanse, before your water-based foam cleanser. Placing it earlier or later than that changes how it feels going on and how well the steps after it absorb, so keeping it in that order is worth doing even on a simplified routine.
Can I use this if my skin runs sensitive?
This cleansing oil is formulated with skin types like normal skin, dry skin in mind, but any new product is worth a patch test first if your skin reacts easily. A short patch test on the inside of your arm or behind an ear is worth doing with any new product before it goes on your face, and that goes for sensitive skin most of all.
How long before I will know if this is right for my skin?
Give it a full week or two of consistent use before judging, since a single use rarely tells you much either way. Watch for how skin feels rather than for any specific number, and stop use if you notice ongoing irritation.

How to use
- Use it in the evening as the first cleanse, on a dry face with dry hands.
- Two or three pumps, worked over the face for about a minute so makeup and sunscreen let go.
- Add a little lukewarm water and keep massaging until it turns milky, then rinse it fully away.
- Once a day, in the evening. Do not stop here, because an oil cleanse is the first half of the step and a water based cleanser is the second.
Worth knowing
- Apply to fully dry skin and hands, since water added too early stops an oil cleanser from gripping makeup and sunscreen.
- Follow with a water-based cleanser rather than skipping it, since an oil alone can leave a residual film.

What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Pantothenol is a common ingredient in skin care and hair products I recommend, particularly for people who are prone to dryness.
Taylor Bullock, MDDermatology resident, Cleveland Clinic Hyaluronic acid helps bind water to collagen, which traps water in the skin. That helps make the skin more plump and full-looking.

Allantoin can tone down the dryness of the individual cells. It increases the water content of the skin, which means it helps to hydrate and moisturize.
