If you follow K-beauty because of K-pop, you have probably noticed that Korean routines lean heavily on light, layered hydration rather than one heavy cream. Round Lab's 1025 Dokdo line is the brand's take on that everyday basic layer, and the Toner + Lotion Duo bundles two of its steps into one purchase. Here is a plain guide to what Round Lab says about the set, how to use the two products in order, and what to check before buying.
What Round Lab says about it
Round Lab calls this set the "1025 Dokdo Dynamic Duo". According to Round Lab, it offers enhanced moisture retention and long-lasting hydration, built around two highlighted ingredients:
- Minerals from Ulleungdo deep seawater – Ulleungdo is a Korean island in the East Sea, and the line's Dokdo name also points to the islands in that area.
- Triple Hyaluronic Acid – the brand's description of the hyaluronic acid used in the duo.
The set contains the 1025 Dokdo Toner and the 1025 Dokdo Lotion. Round Lab's product information we collected does not list sizes for each bottle, so check the brand page for exact volumes before comparing value.
Where it fits in a routine
A standard Korean-style routine goes cleanse → toner → serum → cream (or lotion) → sunscreen in the morning, and the same at night without sunscreen. This duo covers two of those steps, so a simple routine with it could look like this:
Morning
- Gentle cleanse or a splash of water
- 1025 Dokdo Toner – pat onto skin with your hands or a cotton pad
- Optional serum
- 1025 Dokdo Lotion
- Sunscreen – this duo does not replace SPF
Night
- Cleanse (double cleanse if you wore sunscreen or makeup)
- 1025 Dokdo Toner
- Optional serum or sheet mask
- 1025 Dokdo Lotion, plus a richer cream on top if your skin feels dry
The rule of thumb is thinnest to thickest: the watery toner goes first, the lotion after. Follow any directions on the bottles if they differ.
Who it might suit
- People building a first K-beauty routine who want a matching toner and moisturizer from one line.
- Anyone who prefers lighter layers over a single heavy cream.
- Round Lab beginners who want to try the brand's 1025 Dokdo line, which is the line it presents as mild and basic.
- Gift-givers looking for an easy two-step set for a friend getting into K-beauty.
What to check before you buy
- Ingredients: read the full ingredient lists for both products on Round Lab's page if you have known sensitivities.
- Patch test: try each product on a small area first, one at a time, so you know which one your skin reacts to if anything goes wrong.
- Price and shipping: the duo is listed at $27.30 on Round Lab's US store at the time of writing. Check the current price on the brand page and whether Round Lab ships to your country, including any shipping fees.
- Sun protection: keep a separate sunscreen in your morning routine.
Our take
The 1025 Dokdo Toner + Lotion Duo is a straightforward way to set up the two most basic hydration steps of a Korean routine with products from the same line. Round Lab's pitch is simple, deep seawater minerals and Triple Hyaluronic Acid for moisture, and the set suits people who want an uncomplicated starting point. We have not tested it, so check the ingredient lists and patch-test before making it your daily routine.
