ROUND LAB 1025 Dokdo Cleansing Oil: Deep Sea Mineral Cleansing Oil

Round Lab is a Korean brand built around 1025 Dokdo deep-sea water as their hero ingredient, sourced from deep ocean near Dokdo Island. The Dokdo Cleansing Oil takes this approach into cleansing: plant oils plus Dokdo deep-sea minerals in a lightweight oil format. At $36.60 for 200mL, this is mid-tier priced for a branded Korean cleansing oil with the ocean-ingredient story as the differentiator.

Deep-sea mineral water claims in Korean skincare are usually hard to verify functionally, but Round Lab's consistent use of 1025 Dokdo across their line gives it credibility as a real sourcing commitment rather than a one-off marketing gimmick. The brand is particularly popular for their Birch Juice toner and this cleansing oil is the matching first-step product.

What It Does

Plant oils dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and sebum. Dokdo deep-sea minerals provide trace elements that may support skin function (though the specific benefit from topical mineral contact is mild). Hyaluronic acid and panthenol leave skin feeling hydrated rather than stripped after the cleanse. Emulsifies cleanly into a milky wash-off.

Who It's For

• Daily SPF and makeup wearers: Primary first-step cleanser use.
• Normal to dry skin: Emollient oil is gentle.
• Round Lab brand users: Matches the Dokdo Birch Juice routine.
• Users wanting a branded Korean oil cleanser: Mid-tier quality.
• Sensitive skin: Clean ingredient list.

FAQ

Is the "deep sea water" actually meaningful?

Mildly. The minerals are real, but topical mineral-water contact during a rinse-off cleanse has limited measurable benefit. The ocean water claim is more brand story than active ingredient differentiation.

How does this compare to Jumiso Pore Clearing Cleansing Oil?

Jumiso is slightly cheaper, more pore-focused. Round Lab is slightly pricier, with mineral-water positioning. Both are quality Korean oil cleansers; choose on brand preference or ingredient angle.

Will it remove waterproof makeup?

Yes, with gentle massage.

Does it clog pores?

Non-comedogenic formulation. Rinses cleanly.

How long does 200mL last?

Daily evening use: 3 to 4 months.
