Community summary
The most frequently mentioned point is breakouts and soothing. Comments like 'my skin flared up so I bought it in a hurry, and the breakouts went down' and 'it's good for soothing when redness flares up' are the most common, at 176 of 491 reviews. Olive Young's official metric is also 72% good for soothing. That said, these are users' own impressions, and 55 reviews say 'there's no dramatic effect' or 'I'm not sure it works.'
The 131 Ampoule comes up unusually often (115 reviews). The context is 'I liked the ampoule, so I bought the toner from the same line,' 'the ampoule is small and pricey, so I use the toner freely,' and 'I use them together, toner then ampoule.' On the other hand, comparisons like 'they said it has the same ingredients as the ampoule, but maybe the concentration differs, because it's less effective' recur. Many see it less as an ampoule replacement and more as the line's daily toner.
The feel is cooling and lightweight. In 103 reviews, people say it turns cool a minute or two after applying and is good when skin feels hot, followed by comments that it's moisturizing yet absorbs lightly. Some also share spraying it on a cotton pad to wipe or using it like a mist. On the other hand, there are reactions like 'I didn't feel any cooling at all,' 'it smells of alcohol,' and 'it feels oily,' plus a small number of ★1–2 reviews saying tiny bumps appeared after use.
These are minimum counts based on the 491 reviews read first-hand. Exact duplicate sentences were removed from the 500 collected. These are mention counts and don't only mean people saw results (they include mentions of not noticing anything).

Best for

- When your skin runs hot and you want a cooling toner that feels refreshing on application

FAQ
Q. How to use the Celladix 131 Toner — do I use it with the ampoule?
The most common routine is applying the toner after cleansing, letting it absorb for a minute or two, then applying the 131 Ampoule. Some reviews also say they layer the toner 2–3 times in the evening. Others soak cotton pads for a toner mask or spray it on like a mist.
Q. Does it work on acne and breakouts?
Soothing comments like 'my breakouts went down' and 'it's good for soothing redness' are the most common at 176 reviews, and Olive Young's official metric is 72% good for soothing. However, 55 reviews say 'I'm not sure it works,' and some report tiny bumps appearing after use. These are users' own impressions and vary a lot by person, and we make no treatment-efficacy claims. If inflammation is severe, we recommend seeing a dermatologist.
Q. How is it different from the 131 Ampoule?
It's the same 131 line, and many reviews say 'I bought it because they said the ingredients are the same,' but comparisons saying 'it's less noticeable than the ampoule' recur. Many see the ampoule, which is small and pricey, as an intensive-care product, and the toner, at a large 300ml, as something to use freely every day.
Q. Is there really a cooling sensation?
Many reviews (103) say 'my face feels cool when I apply it' or 'it's better than other cooling toners.' However, some say 'I didn't feel the cooling' or 'I only feel it when I use it as a toner mask,' so experiences differ.
Q. Can sensitive skin use it?
Most say it's gentle, with Olive Young's official 62% gentle and low-irritation, and some reviews say it's easy to use even when skin is sensitive. However, there are mentions of an alcohol smell and reviews saying tiny bumps appeared, so try a patch test on your inner arm first. We make no safety guarantees.
