- Lightweight, fast-absorbing, non-sticky despite hydrating
- Gentle and non-irritating for sensitive oily skin types

Texture and finish
The Celladix Sebum Rebalancing RX 131 Ampoule 30ml is a lightweight serum marketed as a sebum-balancing treatment. It has a watery, slippery consistency that absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky residue, though some users found its runny texture unusual. The finish is described as lightly hydrating with a subtle film—quick to set and suitable for daily use, especially in humid climates.
What Korean reviewers say
Olive Young Global shoppers rate it 4.8/5 across 55 reviews. Many users with oily and combination skin reported meaningful improvements in clogged pores (small texture bumps) and excessive sebum, noting softer skin and fewer breakouts. The brand claims phytosterol, squalane, and beta-glucan work together to restore sebum balance. However, opinions on scent vary widely—from subtle grassy notes to distinctly medicinal or spiced undertones that some found off-putting. A few users cautioned that its oily base and film-like finish may not suit all oily skin types in warm weather, and one noted minimal results with broad application.
Bottom line
This ampoule delivers real texture and sebum-control benefits for oily and combination skin, but the 30ml size justifies its price only if purchased on sale or used sparingly on problem areas. It’s a solid add-on for winter routines or localized treatment, not a year-round daily essential at full retail.
