Not everyone wants a rich night cream. If you are looking for a light moisturizing step, especially for daytime or for warmer months, Round Lab's 1025 Dokdo Lotion is one of the simplest options in the brand's line-up. Here is a practical guide to how it could fit into your routine, based only on what Round Lab says about it.

What Round Lab says about it

According to Round Lab, the 1025 Dokdo Lotion is a lightweight moisturizer made with mineral-rich deep sea water from Ulleungdo and Triple Hyaluronic Acid. The brand says it replenishes skin with moisture and gives long-lasting moisture. Round Lab describes the texture as a lightweight cream and lists it as unscented.

The 1025 Dokdo line is the brand's mild, basic range, built around that Ulleungdo deep sea water. The lotion sits alongside other items in the same line such as the toner and cleanser, so it is easy to pair if you already use one of those.

Where it fits in a routine

In a typical Korean routine the order runs cleanse → toner → serum or ampoule → moisturizer → sunscreen (in the morning). A lotion takes the moisturizer slot. A few ways people commonly use a lighter lotion:

  • As the only moisturizer if your skin feels comfortable with a light layer, for example in humid weather.
  • In the morning, under sunscreen, where a lighter texture can feel less heavy than a thick cream.
  • Layered under a richer cream at night, if your skin wants more in the evening.

A simple three-step morning might be: gentle cleanser, toner, a thin layer of the lotion, then sunscreen. At night you can keep the same order and skip sunscreen. Wait a moment between layers so each one settles before the next.

Who it might suit

Based on Round Lab's description, this is aimed at people who want moisture without a heavy feel. It could suit you if you:

  • prefer unscented products;
  • like a light texture under sunscreen or makeup;
  • want a basic, no-fuss moisturizer while you are building your first K-beauty routine.

For K-pop fans just getting into K-beauty, a basic line like 1025 Dokdo is an easy place to start because it keeps things simple. If you want a stronger, richer moisturizer, Round Lab has other lines (such as Birch for moisture or Soybean for nourishing care) that may be worth comparing on the brand site.

Our take

The 1025 Dokdo Lotion looks like a straightforward, budget-friendly moisturizer step: lightweight, unscented, and built on deep sea water and hyaluronic acid according to Round Lab. It is a sensible pick if you want something light for daytime or a simple moisturizer to start with, and easy to pair with other 1025 Dokdo products.
