What it does: Water-based cleanse after oil. Removes remaining dirt and sweat. Should be pH-balanced (5.0-6.0).
Skin types: Sensitive, dry, combo.
vs CeraVe: $15 vs $16. Both are gentle daily cleansers. Round Lab adds Dokdo deep sea minerals and ceramides. CeraVe is a larger bottle but lacks the mineral-rich water.

Why this step exists in K-beauty
Korean cleansers should add to your skin, not strip it. The minerals from Dokdo deep sea water nourish while cleansing — the opposite of the Western ‘squeaky clean’ approach.
