Kora Organics Noni Glow Facial Oil is by far one of the brand’s more popular products. The Noni Glow oil promises to be an organic and all natural facial oil that plumps, moisturizes, and brightens–all while leaving a non-greasy finish. Are these promises too good to be true? Does this luxury facial oil actually work? Can oily skin types use this facial oil? What about dry and sensitive skin types? Are the ingredients used in the Noni Glow oil really organic and all natural? Does this facial oil work well with other serums and moisturizers? To find the answers to these questions and separate hype from reality, we tested the Noni Glow facial oil ourselves for two weeks along with several other Kora Organics products (including their Turmeric Brightening & Exfoliating Mask, Vitamin C Serum, Noni Glow Body Oil, and Noni Radiant Eye Oil).
Below, you’ll find a complete summary of our in-depth review of the Kora Organics Noni Glow Facial Oil. Our reviews are organized into three categories: The Clean Ingredient Score (is the product made with clean ingredients?), Product Design & Effectiveness Score (does it actually work?), and the Online Customer Review Score (what is everyone else saying?). Combined, this review should provide everything you need to decide if this organic facial oil is right for you. Enjoy!

Kora Organic’s Noni Glow Facial Oil earns a Product Design & Effectiveness Score of an solid “A”. Our reviewers used the Noni Glow Oil for two weeks both AM and PM. The product was used in conjunction with two other Kora Organics products: the Noni Glow Vitamin C Serum and the Noni Radiant Eye Oil.
On first impressions, the Noni Glow facial oil has the consistency of a lightweight “dry oil” which absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy finish. The oil has a light, yet noticeable floral scent reminiscent of jasmine and lavender. If you are used to using heavier facial oils, then this oil may take some getting used to. Unlike richer oils which can often be used in place of a moisturizer or serum, the Noni Glow facial oil is very lightweight. The oil absorbs almost instantly into the skin but, while it does leave skin feeling quite soft, drier skin types may feel the need to use the Noni Glow oil in conjunction with a moisturizing serum or moisturizer. Not that the oil isn’t moisturizing–it just doesn’t sit on top of the skin like some other facial oils. The Noni Glow facial oil comes in a one ounce bottle which can last several weeks when using 2-3 drops at a time.
When it comes to performance, our reviewers reported many positive experiences with the Noni Glow Face Oil. Almost all reviewers experienced “softer skin” and more than half experienced “brighter skin” during the course of their two week trial. That includes results such as softening of wrinkles, lightening of dark spots, and an overall more even skin complexion. The oil was easy to layer over other skin care products (such as toners, serums, and spot treatments) and worked very well under makeup. In fact, it was one of the few organic facial oils that we’ve reviewed that can confidently be worn under makeup without the risk of excessive greasiness or smudging. The Noni Glow facial oil was well rated across all skin types. Dry and Combination skin types gave the product its highest scores, followed by oily, mature, and sensitive skin types. For those with sensitivities to essential oils, the Noni Glow does contain jasmine, rose, and lavender extracts which may exacerbate certain sensitivities.
Works Best For: All Skin Types | Mature Skin
Official Usage Instructions: Warm a few drops in the palms of your hands and apply over the face, neck and décolletage after cleansing and before moisturizing. To restore skin to its optimum beauty, use as a daily nourishing treatment.
Ease of Use: Easily incorporates into any skin care routine as a step between cleansing and moisturizing. Absorbs quickly without a greasy finish.
Our team analyzed almost 1,000 online customer reviews for the Noni Glow Facial Oil from several retailers (including Kora Organics and The Detox Market). In the end, the Noni Glow Facial Oil earned an average customer review of 4.6/5 stars–earning a grade of an “A-” for our Online Customer Review Score. The vast majority of reviews for the Noni Glow Facial Oil from Kora Organics were positive across all skin types. Customers reported experiences such as “it leaves my skin moisturized and glowing!,” “super soft skin,” and “glowing all day!.” On the critical side, a small minority of customers experienced irritation while using this oil, others expressed discontent with the price/oz of this product, and some found the oil to be “too dry” for their skin types.
