Round Lab Skincare in Pakistan — 1025 Dokdo Toner, Birch Juice Sunscreen & More 2026

What Is Round Lab?

Round Lab is a Korean skincare brand founded in South Korea in 2017, built on a simple premise: fewer, better ingredients outperform complex formulas packed with unnecessary additives. Instead of using purified water as a filler base, Round Lab sources its formulas from Korea's natural environment -- deep-sea mineral water from the East Sea for the 1025 Dokdo line, and birch tree sap from Korean forests for the Birch Juice line. The result is a genuinely minimalist approach: most Round Lab formulas run 15-20 ingredients total, a fraction of what many competing K-beauty products use.

The 1025 Dokdo Water Source

The "1025" in Round Lab's product names refers to the depth, in metres, at which the brand's signature deep-sea mineral water is drawn from Korea's East Sea, in the Ulleungdo and Dokdo island region. Water at this depth carries a distinct mineral profile -- rich in magnesium, calcium, and trace minerals -- that surface water doesn't have. Round Lab uses this water as the primary liquid base across the Dokdo line, rather than as an add-in ingredient, which is part of why the formulas feel different from typical toners and cleansers.

Two Product Lines: Dokdo and Birch Juice

Round Lab's catalogue splits into two signature lines with different jobs. The 1025 Dokdo line (Toner and Cleanser) is built around deep-sea mineral water and is the more pore-focused, minimal-irritant side of the brand -- it's what Round Lab is best known for internationally. The Birch Juice line replaces water with birch tree sap as the hydrating base, and is the more moisture-and-protection-focused side of the catalogue -- the Birch Juice Moisturizing Sun Cream is the clearest example, pairing SPF50+ PA++++ protection with genuine hydrating ingredients rather than a typical drying sunscreen base.

The Protease Enzyme — Why the Dokdo Toner Is Different

The 1025 Dokdo Toner's standout ingredient is Protease, a naturally-derived enzyme that breaks down the protein bonds holding dead skin cells together, letting them shed more easily -- without the acids (AHA/BHA) that most exfoliating toners rely on. That matters for two reasons: it's gentler on sensitive and reactive skin, and it doesn't come with the sun-sensitivity warnings that chemical exfoliants carry. Combined with deep-sea mineral water, panthenol, and allantoin for hydration and calming, the toner clears congestion without the irritation risk of a typical acid toner.

Product-by-Product Guide

The brand's signature product. Protease-enzyme toner for oily, congested, or sensitive skin that wants gentle pore refinement without acids. Apply after cleansing, AM and PM.

Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Cleanser (150ml) -- PKR 5,400
A pH-balanced foam cleanser using the same deep-sea mineral water base, formulated to clean thoroughly without stripping the skin's natural acid mantle -- useful in Pakistan's hard-water cities.

A lightweight, hydrating chemical sunscreen using birch sap, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide, with zero white cast -- suited to Pakistan's medium-to-deep skin tones and intense year-round sun.

Who Should Use Round Lab?

The Dokdo Toner and Cleanser suit oily, combination, and sensitive skin that wants pore-clearing benefits without the irritation risk of acids -- a useful option for anyone who has reacted badly to AHA/BHA toners in the past. The Birch Juice Sun Cream suits any skin type looking for a genuinely hydrating, non-greasy daily sunscreen, and is particularly well suited to medium and deep skin tones that struggle with white cast from mineral sunscreens.

Building a Round Lab Routine in Pakistan's Climate

For a complete AM routine: cleanse with the 1025 Dokdo Cleanser, tone with the 1025 Dokdo Toner, then finish with the Birch Juice Moisturizing Sun Cream for hydration and SPF in one step -- a practical routine for Pakistan's hot, high-UV climate where a heavy multi-step routine can feel unwelcome. In the evening, the Dokdo Cleanser and Toner alone provide a gentle, pore-focused two-step routine that layers well under any other serum or moisturiser already in your routine.

What is the 1025 Dokdo water?

It is deep-sea mineral water sourced from Korea's East Sea, in the Ulleungdo and Dokdo island region. The "1025" in the name refers to the depth, in metres, at which this mineral-rich water is drawn. It is used as the primary water base across the Dokdo product line.
