Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What makes the Round Lab 1025 Dokdo line special?
The uniqueness of the 1025 Dokdo line is deep-sea water from Dokdo Island, sourced from 1025 meters depth. Sea water at this depth is particularly rich in minerals and microelements and free from surface water contamination. It acts as a natural mineral moisturizer that not only hydrates but also replenishes the skin's missing minerals and maintains pH balance. This makes the 1025 Dokdo line especially suitable for dehydrated, mineral-depleted urban dwellers' skin.
How does the Birch Juice line differ from the 1025 Dokdo line?
Both lines are focused on moisturizing, but through different mechanisms. The 1025 Dokdo line moisturizes with mineral-rich sea water – ideal for skin lacking mineral balance. The Birch Juice line moisturizes with birch juice extract, rich in amino acids and vitamins – lighter textures, ideal for young, normal, or combination skin. The Birch Juice sunscreen is also one of the most popular lightweight SPF products in the K-beauty community.
Are Round Lab products suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes – Round Lab formulas are specially created with a minimal amount of irritating ingredients. The 1025 Dokdo and Birch Juice lines contain no alcohol, strong fragrances, or aggressive surfactants. Pine Calming Cica Cleanser is specially designed for sensitive and reactive skin with centella asiatica extract. Round Lab is one of the most frequently dermatologist-recommended K-beauty brands for sensitive skin.
