What the product description says
“ROUND LAB's multiple award winning bestseller—their 1025 Dokdo series toner uses carefully selected organic ingredients to moisturise, protect, relieve, and gently exfoliate.”

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: betaine, glycerin.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: chondrus crispus extract, pentylene glycol.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol

What the product description says
“Features mild ingredients for gentle exfoliation every day.”
Source: Melon + Starfish

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.

Product summary

"ROUND LAB - 1025 Dokdo Toner" is effective for: Moisturizing

Ingredient callouts

  • An effective concentration of Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 4.10% - 6.20%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.
  • In addition, this product contains Allantoin (3.10% - 4.60%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
  • Humectants (panthenol 0.10% - 0.40%, panthenol 4.10% - 6.20%, glycerin 1.10% - 1.70%, glycerin 22.00% - 33.00%, betaine 0.15% - 0.55%, betaine 5.00% - 7.50%, allantoin 0.10% - 0.35% and allantoin 3.10% - 4.60%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
