If you have spent any time browsing K-beauty shelves, you have probably seen Round Lab's 1025 Dokdo line. It is the brand's mild, everyday basics range, and the 1025 Dokdo Lotion is its moisturizer step. Here is what Round Lab says about it and what to check before you buy.
What Round Lab says about it
According to Round Lab, the 1025 Dokdo Lotion is a lightweight moisturizer made with deep sea water from Ulleungdo and a Triple Hyaluronic Acid blend. The brand describes the texture as a lightweight cream and says it is unscented. The bottle holds 6.76 fl.oz (200ml), which is a generous size for a facial moisturizer.
Round Lab highlights a few points on its product page:
- Layered hydration: the brand says the formula builds a three-layer moisture barrier, with the Triple Hyaluronic Acid (hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate appear in the ingredient list) helping to lock in moisture.
- No shiny finish: according to Round Lab, the high moisture content keeps skin hydrated without leaving a shiny finish.
- Deep sea water minerals: the brand says its deep sea water contains 72 types of nature-derived minerals, including magnesium, calcium and zinc, made with a patented membrane-filter process, to help keep the skin's moisture balance.
- Soothing support: panthenol, Chondrus Crispus (a red seaweed) extract and macadamia seed oil are included, which Round Lab describes as soothing the skin and supporting the moisture barrier.
Where it fits in a routine
A typical K-beauty order is cleanse → toner → serum → cream → sunscreen. Round Lab's own instructions say to use this lotion after toning: apply a small amount to the face and let it absorb. In practice, that puts it in the moisturizer slot, after any serum or essence you use.
Because it is described as lightweight, it could work as the only moisturizer in a simple routine, or as a lighter layer before a richer cream on drier days. In the morning, finish with sunscreen as usual. If you already use the 1025 Dokdo Toner, this lotion is the natural next step from the same line.
Who it might suit
Round Lab lists a wide range of skin types for this product: dry, sensitive, normal, combination, acne-prone and oily. The unscented formula and the promise of hydration without shine may appeal to people who find heavy creams too much, especially in warm or humid weather. It also suits anyone building a first, simple K-beauty routine who wants a basic moisturizer rather than a targeted treatment.
For K-pop fans copying the simple "skin basics" routines idols mention in vlogs, it is that kind of plain step.
What to check before you buy
- Price: the lotion is listed at $22 on Round Lab's US store at the time of writing. Prices change, so check the current price on the brand page.
- Shipping: check whether Round Lab ships to your country and what delivery costs.
- Ingredients: the formula contains macadamia seed oil and other plant-derived ingredients; read the full list if you have known sensitivities.
- Patch test: even with a mild, unscented product, try a small amount on your jaw or inner arm for a few days before using it all over your face.
Our take
Going only on what Round Lab shares, the 1025 Dokdo Lotion looks like a straightforward, lightweight moisturizer: unscented, hyaluronic-acid based, in a large 200ml bottle, and meant for nearly every skin type. It is not positioned for any specific concern, which may be exactly why it works as a steady everyday step.
