Curating with ROUND LAB
Welcome back to my channel, where skincare is all about progression over perfection, because perfection doesnt exist. Unless its my beauty box with ROUND LAB. So I talk about ROUND LAB on and off. They are one of my go to Korean skincare brands for pretty much every step of the skincare routine. So when they asked, if I wanted to curate a beauty box with them, I was like yes. Yes, I do. Im gon na, be honest. A fair few brands and companies have reached out about a beauty, box. And Ive been like hmm … Honestly, because the discount wasnt that great. But when I read the discount on this box and how much this box is worth versus how much youll pay for it, I was, like I cant say no to this. So in this box you are going to get $116 worth of product for $29. Thats, crazy right, James Welsh, x, ROUND LAB.
The Ultimate Hydration Collection
How cute is this little pop up thing, There’s, an extremely flattering picture of me from when I only had one chin. A list of all the products that youre going to get in here and a little bit about me. If you don’t know who I am. And then we have all the products here with the sheet masks underneath. This ROUND LAB Skin Ultimate Hydration Collection is all about hydration. This box represents everything I love: skincare Korean skincare and hydration. The wonders of hydration in your skincare routine, hydrating ingredients and hydrating products.
The Power of Hydration
Focusing on hydration is one of the things that can completely transform your skin. Not just how it feels, but also how it looks on the outside too. Keeping your skin well hydrated and knowing how to retain that hydration can make a significant difference. If you’re after long-term, dewy, glowy skin that doesn’t just require slapping on a shiny product to pretend you have glass skin, consistent hydration is key.
The Ingredients That Matter
Hyaluronic Acid is an amazing ingredient, but the James Welsh X Round Lab – Ultimate Hydration Collection goes beyond that. Glycerin and Birch Sap Juice are also included in these products, offering additional hydration benefits. Birch Sap Juice is a highly hydrating ingredient that is often overlooked but can truly make a difference in your skincare routine.
The Essentials of the Collection
This collection includes all the essentials of a skincare routine. From the ROUND LAB 1025 Dokdo Cleanser and Toner to the Birch Juice Moisturizing Cream and Mask, as well as the Moisturizing Sunscreen, these products have got you covered. The miniature version of the Moisturizing Sunscreen is perfect for on-the-go hydration.
Seamless Integration into Your Routine
While this collection does not include a serum, it can easily be incorporated into your existing skincare routine alongside your favorite serums. The hydrating products in this collection work harmoniously with other treatments, making it versatile and easy to use.
The Ultimate Hydration Collection by James Welsh X Round Lab
Especially with summer approaching here in the UK, it’s nice to carry these miniature sunscreens around for reapplication. So let’s look at all the products in the Ultimate Hydration Collection by James Welsh X Round Lab.
1025 Dokdo Cleanser
The first product in the collection is the 1025 Dokdo Cleanser. This cleanser is everything you would expect from a modern-day cleanser. It has a low pH, is non-irritating, doesn’t dry out your skin, and does more than just cleanse. It has been recognized with multiple awards, including the prestigious Hwahae and Olive Young Awards in Korea.
The 1025 Dokdo Cleanser creates a compact, soft foam that they call microfoam bubbles. This gives you the satisfying feeling of a deep cleanse without the drying effect. The natural moisturizing factors in the cleanser help create a moisture barrier on the skin, preventing it from feeling stripped and dried out.
Additionally, the cleanser contains triple Hyaluronic Acid to keep the skin hydrated, as well as Panthenol, Allantoin, and Ceramides to soothe the skin. It is recommended to leave the cleanser on the skin for a while to allow it to fully benefit from these nourishing ingredients.
Micro Bubbles Cleanser
So you can do this play around with the micro bubbles a little bit. Its not going to dry you out. Leave it on for a good minute and then rinse away. I love this. Also. I love him on the front. Can you see it Who’s this That seal? I think it is, is actually why I bought this product like a year ago, because I was like oh that’s cute. But yeah it’s just a great go-to foam cleanser. In the summer, if you got an oily t-zone or you get greasy, it’s great at just rinsing everything away, but it’s gentle enough in the winter when your skin is feeling a little bit drier than usual.
Hydrating Toner
My favorite step in the hydrating routine is the ROUND LAB 1025 Dokdo Toner. Again a multi award-winning toner. It’s easy for ROUND LAB. They just win awards here and there. For me, a toner is an essential step in your skincare routine. I feel like if you are looking for extra hydration in your routine, yes, you can get it from all the humectants that are in the rest of your skincare products. But a toner is just such an easy, simple, quick stage to just flood your skin with that extra hydration and make it look dewy and plump as well, if that’s the look that you’re after. Glycerin is really one of the main humectants in here, which you know is my preference.
Seaweed Extract for Skin Hydration
James Welsh X Round Lab – Ultimate Hydration Collection features a Seaweed Extract that forms a film over the skin, aiding in locking in moisture and hydration. The inclusion of Panthonal and Allantoin further helps in soothing the skin.
Protease in Wipe Off Toner
The product is categorized as a wipe off toner due to the presence of an ingredient called protease, which assists in gently removing dead skin cells. It is not a harsh exfoliant, making it suitable for daily use without causing any irritation. The toner effectively eliminates excess sebum and oil, rejuvenating the skin and maintaining the skin barrier.
Application Method
While personal preference plays a role in application techniques, pouring the toner onto a cotton pad and swiping it over the skin, particularly focusing on the T-zone, can enhance the efficacy. Following it up with gentle patting motions ensures optimal absorption. Multiple rounds of toner application can further amplify the benefits.
Effectiveness of K Beauty Brands
K Beauty brands like Round Lab often conduct clinical trials to showcase the immediate effects of their products on the skin. The post-usage results demonstrate a noticeable reduction in dead skin cells on the skin’s surface, highlighting the product’s efficacy. The watery consistency of the toner adds to its appeal, striking a balance between fluidity and non-stickiness.
The Birch Juice Moisturizing Cream
It sinks into the skin quickly and perfectly. You don’t have to stand there for ages, tapping it, but you’re still left with that dewy glow. This is their Birch Juice Moisturizing Cream. Oh look, another multi-award winner.
Suitable for Every Skin Type
I think this is so popular because it really does suit nearly every skin type, especially those with acne-prone skin. What I love about this product is, it has tiny capsules which I’m trying to show you on camera, but they’re so tiny you can’t really see them.
Locking in Moisture
So you kind of get this nice moisturization. Then those capsules kind of burst on your skin, locking everything in. Birch Sap, Vita, Hyaluronic Acid, and Glycerol Glucoside have been added to maintain long-lasting and deep moisture. Within this Birch Sap, you have Hyaluronic Acid Lactic Acid, PCA, and Amino Acids.
So all that hydration and goodness that your skin needs to help kind of lock in that hydration as well. It’s one of those moisturizers that can care for both dry skin and oily skin on your face without making it look greasy or without being too light that you feel like you’re using a gel cream. It’s in this light, fluffy watery texture that at first you’re like, “I don’t think this is going to be enough.” But then that’s where those capsules come in.
The Ultimate Hydration Experience
And you can feel that kind of, like lock in kind of film. What I will say if you have facial, hair and youre. Using this, give this a rub in the palm of your hands: first. Break down those capsules then rub on your skin. And you will love this. Another Birch Sap, favorite of mine.
Introducing the Birch Juice Moisturizing Mask
You pretty much get a whole pack of sheet masks in here. The Birch Juice, Moisturizing Mask. Let me just say things: I hate about sheet masks. When theres, not enough serum and it feels immediately dry and when theres too much serum and its like dripping down your neck and youre trying to relax. What you could feel is that serum going down your neck. This has the perfect balance in it. Again with that Birch Sap Juice, to give you really nice deep hydration. And Glycerol Glucoside as well. For really nice hydration. Your skin is left looking dewy. You look dewy! You look plumped up. You look plumped from the water. Your skin looks nice and smooth.
The Cooling and Calming Effects
What I particularly love about the sheet masks is the Birch Sap, along with Caffeine, I believe is in here really does allow for like a coolness and like a de-puff. And then we have the calming ingredients that you find throughout most of ROUND LAB products, Allantoin And Betaine. The sheet masks are just 100% pure cotton, nothing added which makes them extra soft. Theres no netting or extra bits of plastic or anything like that.

So you can mask without feeling any kind of guilt. You already know.. You already know the ROUND LAB Birch Juice, Moisturizing, Sunscreen, SPF, 50 PA and its mini version here as well..
A Trusted Sunscreen Choice
There are a lot of viral sunscreens. To be fair. A lot of them are really really good.. Some of them have worked for me. Some of them have not., But a sunscreen. I could always rely on and fall back on and which I think Ive featured on this channel and in my end of year, favorites et cetera for the last couple of years. And again, a multi award winner. Six awards. Plus., This is one of the best sunscreens Ive ever used ever and will probably ever use.. Because – and I know it sounds bad, but it doesnt feel or smell or react to my skin, like a sunscreen, usually does.
As somebody with rosacea somebody whose skin barrier is sometimes compromised because of my job of reviewing skincare products. I know this is a sunscreen I can fall back on and use without any irritation. Whatsoever. Ill be honest. When my skin barrier is impaired, I usually dont use sunscreen., But when Im coming out of that healing stage, when my rosacea is flaring up, when I dont want a rosacea flare up, this is the one I go for.. This feels like a moisturizer that you just use on your skin, that happens to have sun protection in it.
The Perfect Sunscreen and Moisturizer Combo
The James Welsh X Round Lab Ultimate Hydration Collection features a sunscreen that stands out from the rest. It doesn’t have that distinct smell that many chemical sunscreens have, nor does it leave a stingy feeling on your skin. The texture falls somewhere between a thick serum and a light moisturizer, making it easy to reapply throughout the day without feeling weighed down.
Benefits Galore
What sets this sunscreen apart is its combination of sun protection and skincare benefits. With the addition of Ascorbic Acid, Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Niacinamide, and Allantoin, this product offers more than just protection from UV rays. It doubles as a moisturizer with soothing and antioxidant properties, giving your skin a hydration boost while keeping it safe from the sun.
