About Turmeric Glow Moisturizer
Enter the Turmeric Glow Moisturizer, a skincare product that sets out to do more than hydrate your skin. Its mission is to smooth, plump, and firm your skin while leaving behind a radiant glow. With a potent blend of Turmeric, Noni Fruit, and a range of nutrient-rich oils like Desert Date and Rosehip, it aims to nourish, brighten, and minimize the appearance of hyperpigmentation and fine lines.
The brainchild of this award-winning product is Kora Organics, a brand renowned for its commitment to natural, organic, and ethically sourced skincare. Like other Kora products, this moisturizer is specifically designed for use on the face.
What sets this moisturizer apart is its eco-conscious refill system – the interior pod (which reminds me of a coffee machine pod) containing the cream is replaceable – a feature that reduces waste and offers more value over time. For those who appreciate a sensory experience, the scent of the cream is a mixture of peppermint, lemon, and cedarwood and will definitely add a refreshing touch to your skincare routine.
Animal lovers can breathe easy – Kora Organics prides itself on being cruelty-free, so this product is made without harming our furry friends.
If you’re a regular user, a 50 ml jar of the Turmeric Glow Moisturizer should last around two months, based on my personal usage. Of course, this could vary depending on how generously you apply the product. However, remember the golden rule of skincare: less is often more.
This moisturizer is suited for anyone addressing concerns like dullness, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation.
As for skin types, while this product is crafted to suit all, it’s especially beneficial for those with dry, normal, or combination skin. However, if you have extremely sensitive or acne-prone skin, you may want to proceed cautiously due to the myriad of potent ingredients. Remember that it’s always wise to patch-test a new product before fully integrating it into your routine.

My Experience With Turmeric Glow Moisturizer
Upon unboxing, the Turmeric Glow Moisturizer immediately stood out with its stylish cast-glass jar and beautiful bronze/rose gold textured lid. It had this elegant charm about it—visibly luxurious, yet simple. The aesthetics were an instant hit.
In terms of heft, it was noticeably heavier than most moisturizers I’ve held, owing to the glass jar. While this added to the premium feel of the product, some may find it less travel-friendly due to its weight.
My trial began with a thorough cleanse and applying the Turmeric Glow Moisturizer. Before this review, I intentionally put a halt to my usual moisturizing routine for a few days to ensure I could accurately gauge the results and my skin’s reaction to the product.
The cream itself was a bright yellow color—a nod to the Turmeric, I presume. It had a smooth, lush texture that gratifyingly melted into the skin. Its absorption was quick, leaving a slightly luminous finish rather than a greasy residue. My skin looked instantly plumper and felt notably softer post-application.
The scent was delightful, a refreshing blend of peppermint, lemon, and cedarwood that subtly lingered without becoming overpowering.
The immediate benefits were quite evident. My skin appeared more radiant and well-nourished, and the texture seemed improved. With prolonged use over several weeks, I noticed my hyperpigmentation appeared less pronounced, and the fine lines, especially around the eye area, seemed subtly diminished. All in all, the Turmeric Glow Moisturizer left my skin feeling pampered and visibly healthier.
Does Turmeric Glow Moisturizer Work?
To cut to the chase: yes, the Turmeric Glow Moisturizer does work.
Having tried innumerable face moisturizers in the past, with results that often left much to be desired, I was eager to see how this product would fare.
This moisturizer’s fascinating array of ingredients meant my skin was being treated to a genuine smorgasbord of nutrients. The anti-inflammatory properties of Turmeric notably calmed my skin, while the antioxidant-rich Noni Fruit seemed to breathe new life into my complexion. The various nutrient-rich oils nourished my skin visibly, leaving it looking healthier. Aloe Vera and Shea Butter’s soothing and moisturizing properties left my skin pampered and velvety smooth.
This moisturizer is a veritable orchestra of ingredients, all working harmoniously to enhance your skin’s health and appearance. The refreshing scent, the resulting glow, and the sheer pleasure of applying it all contribute to making this product truly stand out.
The timeline for results could vary, but based on my experience, expect to notice immediate brightness and smoothing effects, with more significant improvements, such as reduced hyperpigmentation and fine lines, appearing over a few weeks – but remember, these benefits aren’t permanent, and you’ll need to keep using the product as part of your routine to keep the benefits rolling.
While the product has been largely positive, it’s worth noting that the price tag may be a hiccup for some; at $62, it’s pretty darn pricy.
Additionally, the richness of the cream, while nourishing, may end up being a bit heavy for those with very oily or acne-prone skin.
When incorporating this product into your routine, I strongly recommend that the Turmeric Glow Moisturizer be applied during the moisturizing phase of your skincare routine, which typically happens after cleansing and treatments and before sunscreen. Its rich formulation requires time to absorb fully and won’t work its magic if hastily layered under heavy makeup or mixed with other products. Misplacing it in your routine could result in lesser efficacy of the product and may interfere with the performance of your other skincare products.
My Final Thoughts – Would I Recommend It?
Drawing from years of experience in the skincare and cosmetics industry, I’ve tried a lot of different face moisturizers, and I feel like I’ve really given Turmeric Glow Moisturizer a proper try-out. There’s a vast array of face moisturizers available in the market, but this product by Kora Organics holds its own with promise and performance.
The results I experienced were largely positive—improved skin texture, visibly reduced hyperpigmentation, and an enviable glow that my skin maintained throughout the day.
My final verdict on using the Turmeric Glow Moisturizer is a solid 4 out of 5 stars. It lost a star for being a little heavy on the pocket, and possibly too rich for some skin types. However, I’d have no hesitation recommending it to a friend, particularly those with normal to dry skin.
The ingredients list is impressive, delivering a comprehensive treatment for the skin. Notably, the product felt non-comedogenic, meaning it didn’t clog my pores or aggravate my skin—a feature many of us with combination or acne-prone skin constantly seek.
Priced at $62, it obviously isn’t the cheapest moisturizer around, but the unique blend of high-quality, organic ingredients, coupled with the refillable feature, does justify the cost to an extent. Also, availability isn’t an issue for this product; it can easily be purchased from the Kora Organics website and select skincare retailers.
Despite its efficacy and enjoyable experience, the Turmeric Glow Moisturizer will not replace my go-to moisturizer; however, this is a purely personal preference. Many users will love what this product brings to their skincare routine.
My final advice to potential users would be to always patch-test new skincare products. And remember, while the Turmeric Glow Moisturizer is indeed a quality product, achieving good skin health always comes down to maintaining consistency in your skincare routine, a balanced diet, and healthy lifestyle practices.
