If you have ever watched a K-pop idol's "get ready with me" or night-routine video, you have probably seen the same first step again and again: a cleansing oil. In Korean skincare, the oil cleanse is the start of the evening routine, the step that takes off the day's makeup and sunscreen before anything else touches your skin. Round Lab, the Korean brand known for its Dokdo and Birch lines, has a cleansing oil in its Soybean Panthenol line.
What Round Lab says about it
According to Round Lab, the Soybean Panthenol Cleansing Oil is a nourishing, barrier-supporting cleanser. The brand says it is designed to effectively remove makeup, sunscreen and daily impurities while keeping skin hydrated and comfortable.
The product belongs to Round Lab's Soybean Panthenol line, which the brand positions around the skin barrier. As the name tells you, the two ingredients the line is built around are soybean and panthenol. We have not used it ourselves.
It is listed at $17.50 on Round Lab's US store at the time of writing. Prices and stock change, so check the current price on the brand page before you buy.
Where it fits in a routine
A typical Korean-style routine runs cleanse → toner → serum → cream → sunscreen in the morning, and cleanse → toner → serum → cream at night. A cleansing oil sits at the very beginning of the night routine. Because Round Lab says this one is meant to remove makeup and sunscreen, it is best thought of as your evening first cleanse.
- Step 1, oil cleanse: on the days you wore sunscreen or makeup, start here.
- Step 2, water-based cleanse: many people who "double cleanse" follow the oil with a gentle foam or gel cleanser. That is a common K-beauty habit, not a requirement from Round Lab.
- Then: toner, serum and cream as usual.
Always follow the directions printed on the bottle and on Round Lab's product page for how much to use and how to rinse.
Who it might suit
- People who wear sunscreen or makeup every day and want one step to take it off at night.
- Anyone who wants to try the K-beauty double-cleanse routine they keep seeing in idol vlogs.
- Fans of Round Lab's Soybean Panthenol line who already use other products from it and want a matching first step.
Round Lab's description, as we collected it, does not list specific skin types for this product, so check the brand page if you have a particular skin concern.
What to check before you buy
- Ingredients: read the full ingredient list on the brand page, especially if you know you react to certain oils or fragrance.
- Patch test: try a small amount on your inner arm or jawline first and wait a day before using it on your whole face.
- Size and value: confirm the bottle size on the product page so you can compare it with what you use now.
- Shipping: Round Lab's US store may not ship everywhere, and shipping costs or customs can change the final price. Check shipping to your country first.
Our take
A cleansing oil is one of the simplest ways to bring a K-beauty habit into your routine: you only need it at night, and it replaces wipes or scrubbing. Round Lab describes this one as barrier-supporting and made to take off makeup and sunscreen while leaving skin comfortable. At $17.50 at the time of writing, it is a reasonable way to try the Soybean Panthenol line. We have not tested it, so treat this as a guide to what the brand says, read the ingredient list, patch-test, and decide whether it fits your skin.
