I have been using Kora Organics products on and off since back in Canberra as David Jones (Australian Department Store) always had their products. It has been almost a decade since I started using their products, and I saw different products come, go and even change packaging. Their old baby blue packaging used to bring some childhood nostalgia to me, but hey, I prefer current packaging as it feels more neat. Nevertheless, if you have been hesitant trying out Kora Organics simply due to the bias against celebrity skincare (aka Miranda Kerr skincare), worry not, as I used to be one of those😎.
Not all celebrity skincare products are the same in terms of their result delivery, but I should mention that Kora Organics Noni Glow Face Oil has never given me any sensitivity including unwanted nausea, headache and breakouts.
Scent & Consistency
Although Kora Organics Noni Glow Face Oil is free of artificial fragrance, there's mild calming scent coming through the oil which is only detectable when you press the oil into your skin directly.
There isn't too much of an essential oil scent, and that explains why I can use it all over my face including near delicate eye area and the oil doesn't give me any headache unlike some of the typical natural face oils that I cannot use.
As expected from a rosehip oil based face oil, Kora Organics Noni Glow Face Oil is fast absorbing, but lightweight enough to give your skin a short face massage. It doesn't overwhelm skin with too much heavy oil residue, and it only adds a natural glow to skin while relieving dryness.

Verdict
Kora Organics Noni Glow Face Oil is a gentle face oil that I can even use safely during my cycle as it doesn't break my skin out. My face tends to get puffy during that time very easily, so I would use few drops to massage all over my still slightly damp skin, neck and decollete area. I would mostly leave it like that, and I would apply a bit more onto any dry patches if I see any during the day.
I would still follow with a sunscreen if I use during the day as it's still rosehip oil based. I didn't see any dramatic improvement in terms of firming or wrinkle reduction, but the texture of my skin has improved. It feels a lot more balanced and smooth.
