The cleanser is the step people rush the most, yet it sets up everything that comes after. Round Lab's Soybean Panthenol Cleanser is a low-pH foaming wash from the brand's Soybean Panthenol line. Here is what the brand says about it, where it fits, and what to check before ordering.
What Round Lab says about it
According to Round Lab, this is a gentle foaming cleanser that purifies the skin without stripping away essential moisture. Highlights from the product page:
- pH 5.5: the brand calls this a skin-friendly, low-pH formula that helps maintain the skin's natural protective barrier.
- Fermented soybean extract: grown in Jeongseon, Korea; Round Lab says it delivers amino acids and antioxidants for soft, healthy-looking skin.
- Panthenol (vitamin B5): described as soothing, moisture-locking and supporting barrier resilience.
- Mild surfactants: the brand says they lift away impurities without disrupting the skin's acid mantle.
- What it removes: dirt, sweat and light makeup, with a soft, cushiony foam.
Where it fits in a routine
This is step one: cleanser → toner → serum → cream → sunscreen in the morning. Round Lab says it is suitable for daily use, morning and evening. The directions are simple:
- Dispense an appropriate amount into wet hands.
- Work it into a rich foam and gently massage onto a damp face.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Because the brand mentions light makeup, if you wear long-wear foundation or water-resistant sunscreen you may prefer a cleansing oil or balm first and this foam as the second cleanse, the classic K-beauty double cleanse. After rinsing, follow with your toner.
Who it might suit
Round Lab says it is good for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and for dry, dehydrated or compromised skin barriers. If your current foaming wash leaves your face feeling tight, a low-pH option like this is worth a look. It also pairs naturally with other Soybean Panthenol products if you like to keep a routine within one line.
What to check before you buy
- Price: listed at $17.00 on Round Lab's US store at the time of writing. Check the current price and shipping to your country on the brand page.
- Size and full ingredients: the product text we collected does not state the size or a full ingredient list, so confirm both on the product page.
- Patch test: new cleansers can still surprise sensitive skin. Try it on a small area for a few days first.
- Makeup habits: if you wear heavy or water-resistant products, plan for a first cleanse.
Our take
On paper, the Soybean Panthenol Cleanser is a no-fuss daily foam with a clear focus: a pH of 5.5, panthenol and fermented soybean extract, made for cleansing without stripping moisture. At its listed price it is an easy way to try Round Lab's Soybean Panthenol line. Just treat it as a gentle daily wash, not a heavy-makeup remover.
