In their curated guide to the best Korean skin care products, Cosmopolitan UK names ROUND LAB's 1025 Dokdo Cleanser the Best Water-Based Cleanser / Korean Face Wash (Second Cleanse). Among a wide range of K-beauty categories — from balm cleansers to exfoliating toners — the Dokdo Cleanser earned its own dedicated spot as the go-to second-step cleanse.
The editors praised this fragrance-free, creamy cleanser for lathering beautifully with just a few drops of water and rinsing clean with absolutely zero tightness — a quality they call "everything" for sensitive and acne-prone skin. Deep sea water, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and ceramides do the heavy lifting, cleaning thoroughly while actively hydrating rather than stripping.
"I've used this every single day for the past year and my barrier is genuinely stronger for it."
