Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Toner

What is this product?

Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Toner is a watery, fragrance-free daily toner built on water and glycols with sea water, panthenol, allantoin and betaine for hydration and soothing, plus protease at the tenth position for a mild enzymatic exfoliation the brand explicitly distinguishes from AHA or BHA acid exfoliation. The ingredient list behind every one of those readings was not obtained from the brand: the Korean list comes from a Dongwon Mall retail listing and the INCI list from a third-party travel content site, and the two match 1:1 at 16 items, which corroborates them against each other without confirming either against a brand original. No concentration, pH or clinical test data is disclosed anywhere in the archived or re-fetched official material. The brand markets it for all skin types, an absolute the ingredient list and third-party guidance around the product both push back on for already-reactive skin. Best for dehydrated, oily or combination skin wanting light daily hydration plus resurfacing; very dry skin needs a cream over it, and no hyaluronate line exists here at all.

What makes it different?

A mild protease-based enzymatic exfoliation step folded into a fragrance-free, acid-free, sea-water-and-panthenol hydrating toner, at a distribution scale where most category rivals pick either hydration or exfoliation, not both, and with no hyaluronate anywhere on the label.
