- Includes multiple probiotic ferments that may support the skin microbiome.
- Free from PEGs, silicones, and parabens.
CONS
- Citrus-derived extracts (lemon, orange) and natural fragrance compounds (citral, limonene, linalool) pose high sensitization risk especially with prolonged daily use.
- Contains alcohol, which can dehydrate and impair the lipid barrier over time.
- Essential oil allergens may lead to delayed sensitivity even in non-reactive individuals.
- Potential for photosensitivity due to citrus peel extracts.
BEST FOR SKIN TYPE
Not recommended for sensitive, rosacea-prone, or compromised skin. May be tolerated by resilient skin in short-term or intermittent use, though long-term daily application is discouraged due to cumulative sensitization risk.
FINAL VERDICT
While KORA Organics Kakadu Plum Vitamin C Serum boasts commendable ingredients like Ascorbyl Glucoside, ferments, and plant antioxidants, it’s ultimately compromised by its heavy reliance on citrus oils and aromatic compounds that can trigger inflammation and barrier degradation with repeated exposure. These ingredients often give an impression of freshness but come at the cost of long-term skin resilience. Despite its clean positioning, this formulation does not meet The Beauty Doctrine’s Functional Beauty standards for daily, long-term use.
