Video reviews
Best for
  • • Dry or sensitive skin that reacts to fragrance and sulfates
  • • Retinoid users who need a non-stripping wash
  • • A gentle morning cleanse
  • • Normal, combination or sensitive skin that wants a gentle low-pH foam
  • • A second cleanse after an oil or balm
  • • Routines built around the 1025 Dokdo line
Strengths
  • Free of fragrance, sulfates, soap and parabens, and allergy tested
  • Ceramide-3, niacinamide and glycerin support the moisture barrier while cleansing
  • A creator on tretinoin reported a big difference after almost a month of use
  • Mildly acidic formula with hyaluronic acid, panthenol, allantoin and ceramide NP, according to Round Lab
  • Many sensitive-skin users on r/AsianBeauty and r/KoreanBeauty call it gentle and non-stripping
  • Soft micro-foam that rinses clean
Watch-outs
  • Recommended by the brand for normal to dry skin, so oily skin may prefer a foaming cleanser
  • Cream texture is not designed to foam, so it lacks the lather some people expect
  • Some users with dry skin find it leaves skin tight or stripped
  • Contains chamomile flower oil, and one Reddit user disliked its soapy smell
