1025 Dokdo Peeling Gel

The peeling gel half of Round Lab's beloved 1025 Dokdo line — which uses deep sea water sourced from 5,000 feet below the East Sea, off the coast of Korea's Ulleungdo and Dokdo Islands. That deep sea water is the soul of the line: rich in 72 naturally-derived minerals (magnesium, calcium, zinc), it balances the skin's oil and moisture levels while you exfoliate, so you never get that tight, post-peel dry feeling.

The exfoliation itself works through Hatching EX-07 (Round Lab's patented sea-salt complex) and cellulose, which gently lifts dead skin and excess sebum as you massage it across the skin. Behind that, eight different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid hydrate at every layer of the skin, and panthenol, allantoin, and licorice root extract calm any reactivity. Lactobionic acid (a PHA) adds a layer of chemical exfoliation that's gentler than glycolic or salicylic — so the formula manages to both physically and chemically exfoliate without irritation. Tested for zero skin irritation.

Best For: Dry, dehydrated, or sensitive skin types who need exfoliation but find most peeling gels too stripping — also great for anyone with a compromised barrier who still wants to address texture.
