There are few faces like Miranda Kerr’s. However, there are also few people who take their skincare routines as seriously as Kerr takes hers. You don’t launch your own line devoted to carving out an under-catered-to category unless you take the science of skincare seriously.
We didn’t think it was possible to achieve a Kerr kind of skin glow without a certain skincare ingredient (niacinamide). But just like when she made us believe that getting up at 4.30am was indeed a human possibility, she’s now reframed our perspective on brightening skincare entirely.
The shift away from the all-star active does track—Kerr has long been vocal about her commitment to certified organic skincare. Forgoing niacinamide is a noble act of course, but for those of us slightly less blessed in the lit-from-within skin department, we needed the replacement to be something seriously impressive.
Of course, considering the time Kerr puts into formulating her products, it’s highly likely that this particular product has been the secret sauce behind her bright, even, baby-smooth skin for some time now. And that possibility alone is reason to try. Her face is free of visible pores, completely even in tone and practically reflects like a mirror it’s so dewy.
KORA Organics The Turmeric Glow Drops Niacinamide Alternative Serum is the product Kerr has now granted us all access to. Billed as an all-natural alternative to niacinamide, it focuses on visible brightness in addition to three all-important areas: pore-minimising, texture-smoothing and tone-evening.
If your skin has been reading as dull as everyone dressing alike, this sounds like the radiance-enhancing serum for you. In a shock to absolutely nobody well acquainted with glow-centric skincare, hyaluronic acid is a champion with the formula. Atlantic sea water plays a pore-refining role, crowberry and birch bark are the plant-based barrier protectors in the mix, and an aromatic trio of peppermint, lemon and cedarwood stimulates the senses during application.
It’s the presence of the product’s namesake turmeric extract though that takes on the brightening load of its benefits. Kerr’s rave reviews of turmeric are well documented: she’s admitted an appreciation for the antioxidant-rich ingredient in every form from moisturiser to tea. This serum offers up its most potent delivery method so far, hence its newly-secured ‘niacinamide dupe’ status.
Don’t think the potency equals a high chance of irritation, either. Kerr specifically crafted the serum to offer the same brightening benefits as one containing niacinamide, but with a gentler approach. Clever.
And because Kerr is nothing if not consistent, you best believe it also contains crystals (specifically citrine, the stone of light and happiness). Sounds apt for a brightening serum.
Kerr is urging us to do away with fussy morning and night skin care routines, advocating instead for a few streamlined steps you repeat at both ends of the day. For her, the KORA Organics Turmeric Glow Drops are the cornerstone of both.
She advises starting with a freshly cleansed face and warming a few drops of the serum in your hands before gently patting into skin and following with your favourite moisturiser. Efficacy and ease in one routine is a surefire way to get us on board—that combo and a discount code, that is.

Wait, will niacinamide be offended if we ghost it? Whatever, we can accept guilt if it’s a byproduct of glossy skin.
