This video is part of a series in which I trial a brand or theme's skincare products for a minimum of two weeks; afterward, I give a review of each product based on my experience, the ingredients, and the cost. I film these bare faced (with the skincare discussed applied) for transparency. These videos are made to share my own experience and general thoughts. For YOUR routine, I always recommend visiting your dermatologist!

Mugwort is a traditional medicine that's been used in Chinese and Korean medicine for hundreds if not thousands of years. However it still lack abundant modern scientific evidence to prove its efficacy. There are some studies though, The trust of Koreans and Chinese on their traditional medicine is probably the reason it becomes a selling point when added to a product. Also, lacking modern evidence only means it is 'yet to be proven', just like camomile has been a traditional medicine in Europe for centuries, but only got backed up by intensive scientific studies fairly recently. Mugwort is still worth trying.

Totally agree with you in the 1025 toner, HOWEVER, the Dokdo Lotion emulsion is absolute perfection. It’s the unsung hero.

[nicholesmith]

I just started working the birch juice sunscreen into my routine, have only used it 2 times. You’re right, it’s very much like a moisturizer! On my combo skin, it was much better without a separate moisturizer underneath.

Ara’s Dr. Dray impression cracked me up! 😂

[lindsayellen]

I LOVE the Dokdo Toner. It’s the only product I have from this brand though. Leaves my skin so plump, bouncy and hydrated. Which was a real surprise for me as I had no expectations. I will steer clear of the Mugwort line! I have that struggle of dry, sensitive and acne prone skin as well and am very curious about the first line you like the most. I swear this winter I am struggling to get enough moisture, especially during the day even with some of my holy grails! Fun timessss. And no one could hate you over a product review that would just be ridiculous. Lol

The soybean sheet mask from Round Lab is actually my absolute favorite sheet mask of all the sheet masks I ever tried. It is so nourishing and calming and the sheet is super soft! You should definitely try it😊

[johnsskincarereviews]

Yay! I knew you would love the soybean line! If you get around to trying the cream, the texture is just next level! It feels like the youth to the people adaptogen moisturizer almost but more substantial and a good preservative system lol! I'm sorry about the reactions- thats truly the worst! They initially did not have sage oil in the ingredients of the mugwort line hence dr drays glowing review but they reformulated:( its a shame because the products before sounded so good! I do think however you would love the dokdo cream. It is a rather simple ingredients list but the texture is wonderful for dry skin! hope your inflammation subsides soon!

In the herbalist world, mugwort is queen..incredibly healing and calming, also helps with lucid dreaming 💜

Reality & expectations are not always in alignment. 😅 So true.

I discovered and wondered about the “1025 Dokdo” name. I agree. We are moved by associations that brands create and the evidence is on our receipts.

I had a bad experience with sage on Thanksgiving Day while getting ready. I used cleary sage to clean my device and it was too concentrated. I broke out in bumpy hives and had to text everyone that I would be running late. (Note: Always dilute the skin with water until the burning subsides. Don’t let it burn. This is not a music video.)

Thanks for the honest reviews. 🙏

I have combination skin with rosacea and when I moved to London due to the hard water my skin got even more sensitized. Got the soybean cream from OY and it was godsent! It makes your skin feel deeply hydrated, doesn't feel heavy or too watery, it doesn't just sit on the skin! Although I use it mostly at night I have been able to use it in the day effortlessly when I dry my hair to protect me from the heat or when my skin has been going through stuff and I just put a light serum undernearth and it doesn't feel heavy. If you skin has been compromised I would really suggest to give it a go.

I reuse a cleanser bottle with the pump to create a diluted foam. I have been using a ratio of 1 part cleanser to 5 parts. The cleanser I tried this with Cellmazing Centella Foam Cleanser and my skin doesn’t feel dry or tight after using one pump of the foam. I have mature somewhat dry skin, rosacea (sensitive) and occasionally a breakout (I don’t know why my post-menopausal skin does this). I haven’t tried anything from Round Lab but I wasn’t expecting the soy bean line to come out ahead from your trial. Thank you for trying products and sharing your results, I find it helpful when deciding on new skincare.

[johnsoncylee]

Self foaming bottles work really well with 1025 Dokdo toner. It makes it easy to apply to body too.

[kathleenwarner]

Enjoyed the video Alice. I have used the Birch sunscreen (nice, but a bit heavy for summer), Dokdo toner (hydrating) and cream (not heavy enough for winter, maybe a summer moisturizer for my aging, dry skin) in the past. Currently enjoying the Soybean toner and cream (similar to Dokdo cream - maybe bit richer). I will try the Soybean serum after I finish up By Wishtrend's Cera-barrier Soothing Ampoule. Merry Christmas to you and Ara.

[jasmine-soww]

i rly like the dokdo line! i have extremely dry and sensitive skin and the simple ingredients don't irritate me but i do agree theyre not ultrahydrating! i would rly love to try the soybean line though!

[lavendeleule]

I also have dry acne prone skin and love the soybean line. Please try the cream, it's one of the few that I would buy again and again 🥰

[kellysblackcat]

I've had the soyabean serum in my cart for awhile, I wanted to wait for your review., and now I'm going to try the toner also. Thank you for doing these reviews for us. It must be hard on your skin changing up products all the time, so I really appreciate you doing it for us. And wow wasn't that cushion sunscreen thick and pasty? I've been wanting to try a cushion sunscreen for awhile, as something to use during the day as a top up product, but so far I have no clue what to buy.. But it won't be the round lab one 🌞 Thanks for the great information! 🌻

[paulineskn]

I always wanted to try the soybean line, and now I definitely will! Thanks for the honest reviews, we appreciate it so much 😀 💜💜

[loriwicker]

Hi Alice, Good review, I also have the Birch Sunscreen. I didn't know very much about Round Lab. Looking forward to more reviews. Thank You.😊

[nightswolvves]

I’ve been using the pine cica toner pads and I’m obsessed! Use them every few days and my skins texture is so much better than before

[mtngrl]

Thanks for the detailed video. Good to know about Mugwort line with the Sage. That's an unqualified NO from me, I have such a reaction to Sage, that my throat closes up just driving through the desert states like Ariz and parts of Nevada.

[coffeebeforemascara]

Looks up from phone and says "Well hey there" had me dying! Lololololol
