Night time Routine Simplified
A calm, easy K-beauty night routine for skincare beginners.
Evenings are when your skin recovers, so your routine should be easy enough to actually do. This three-step set from Round Lab keeps it simple: tone, treat, moisturise. There’s no ten-step ritual to learn, just gentle hydration to help your skin feel comfortable and cared for by morning.
What’s in the set
Step 1, Toner: Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Toner. This toner is designed for sensitive skin, hydrating it while gently exfoliating. Its formula includes sea water, panthenol and allantoin, and the seawater comes from the waters around Ulleungdo and Dokdo islands in Korea. The texture is watery and lightweight, so it preps skin for the steps that follow.
Step 2, Serum: Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Serum (50ml). A serum aimed at dewy, supple, long-lasting hydration. It’s light and fresh, so it layers easily without feeling sticky.
Step 3, Moisturiser: Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Cream. A nourishing cream made with birch extract and hyaluronic acid to moisturise skin. The brand states it provides up to 48 hours of moisture. It seals in the layers beneath and leaves skin soft by morning.
Why it works for beginners
- Only three steps. Easy to remember and easy to stick to.
- Hydration-focused. Every step is built around moisture and comfort rather than harsh actives.
- Gentle formulas. The toner is made with sensitive skin in mind.
- Lightweight to rich. Layering from watery toner to serum to cream is the K-beauty way to build deep hydration.
- Pairs with our AM routine. Use it with the Morning Routine Simplified set for a complete day-and-night routine.
How to use
- Cleanse your face first. Then apply the toner with clean hands or a cotton pad.
- Press in the serum. Use a few drops and pat it in until absorbed.
- Seal with the cream over your face and neck.
Use every night. Patch test before first use, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Frequently asked questions
Is this night routine good for K-beauty beginners?
Yes. It has just three steps (toner, serum, moisturiser) with gentle, hydration-focused products, so it’s an easy starting point.
What order do I apply the products?
Cleanse, then toner, serum and finally cream. Go from the thinnest texture to the thickest so each layer can absorb.
Do I need to cleanse before this routine?
Yes. Cleanse first to remove makeup, sunscreen and the day’s build-up. If you wear makeup or sunscreen, a cleansing oil or balm followed by a gentle cleanser works well. This set doesn’t include a cleanser.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Round Lab’s Dokdo Toner is made with sensitive skin in mind, but everyone’s skin is different. Patch test on your inner arm or jawline first, and stop using any product that irritates your skin.
Does the toner exfoliate? Can I use it with other actives?
The Dokdo Toner gently exfoliates as well as hydrating. If you also use stronger actives such as retinol or acids, introduce products one at a time and ask a healthcare professional if you’re unsure.
How long until I see results?
Many people feel more comfortable, hydrated skin quickly. Visible changes to skin texture and tone usually take several weeks of consistent use, and results vary from person to person.
Can I use these products in the morning too?
You can use the toner and serum in the morning, but you’ll need sunscreen as your final step, and it’s the most important step for Australian skin. See our Morning Routine Simplified set for a ready-made AM routine.
Are these products authentic, and do you ship across Australia?
Yes. Pretty Skin Cosmetics ships across Australia, with free shipping on orders over $65.
