The Round Lab 1025 Dokdo line is a special line that uses minimal ingredients and is suitable for sensitive skin. It also commemorates Dokdo Day on October 25; hence the name 1025 Dokdo. Products in this line use deep sea water from Dokdo islands which is said to contain 74 types of minerals that help balance skin’s water and oil levels.
The Water Ampoule is highly concentrated but remains extremely gentle. It uses Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid which has a low molecular weight so it is able to penetrate skin better and deliver hydration and moisture to the inner layers. Highlighted ingredients are Panthenol, Betaine, and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (Licorice). There is also Glycerin, Ceramide NP, Vitamin E in the form of Tocopherol, Hydrolyzed Collagen, and other good-for-the-skin ingredients. It doesn’t contain alcohol, fragrance, nor essential oils.
The ampoule has a gel texture that turns into water when spread. It’s marketed as a hydration booster and I find it very effective in making skin look plump and nourished. This product is highly rated on Korean skincare apps and it lives up to the hype. It definitely soothes and gives instant relief to dry skin, also calms and reduces redness on my cheeks so skin looks clear and brighter. If I get inflamed skin, I believe I’l be able to use this without fear of stinging or further irritation.
This takes a while to get absorbed by my oily skin. Also gives me a greasy look so I need to apply less. Thankfully, it spreads well so a small amount goes a long way.
I think the dropper is not the best for gooey products like this. It can’t suck up product properly and my repeated pinching keeps introducing air into the bottle. I hope the ampoule doesn’t go bad prematurely.
