VORELL — Turkish Skincare with Genuine Pearl Extract
VORELL is a skincare brand based in Istanbul, Türkiye. It makes four products — a leave-on toner, a hydrating serum, a no-rinse bubble mask and a pearl-extract glow serum — manufactured in Türkiye at GMP- and ISO-certified laboratories.

Who is behind VORELL
VORELL was founded by Dr. Nesi Bahar and Akın Doğan. Dr. Nesi Bahar is responsible for the medical review of the formulations and reviews the brand's published skincare content. The company operating the brand is DOBA GROUP MEDİKAL SANAYİ VE TİCARET A.Ş., registered in Kağıthane, Istanbul.
Pearl extract, not glitter
Most "glow" products on the market rely on mica or synthetic glitter. Those particles reflect light in visible points: up close you see individual specks, and they transfer onto clothing. VORELL's approach is different. Pearl extract spreads light evenly across the skin surface instead of scattering it into points, so the result reads as a finish rather than as sparkle.
One honest caveat: pearl is a natural material of mollusc origin, so Shine Boost Face & Body Serum is not vegan. The three Water Glow products contain no animal-derived ingredients.
The four products
| Product | What it does | Size | Price (TRY) | Rinse off? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Water Glow Tonic | Leave-on toner with glycolic acid (AHA) and salicylic acid (BHA); helps refine the look of pores without a stripped feeling | 100 ml | 840 | No |
| Water Glow Serum | Hydrating serum with a hyaluronic acid complex, ectoin and sodium PCA; holds water in the skin without an oily layer | 30 ml | 999 | No |
| Water Glow Bubble Mask | no-rinse bubble mask with oat extract, lactobacillus lysate (postbiotic), madecassoside and beta-glucan; absorbs in about thirty seconds | 100 ml | 970 | No |
| Shine Boost Face & Body Serum | Pearl-extract glow serum for body and face, with niacinamide, squalane, ceramide NP and centella asiatica | 50 ml | 1,140 | No |
| The Glow Ritual set | Tonic + Serum + Bubble Mask together (Shine Boost not included) | 230 ml | 2,199 | No |
None of the four products requires rinsing. That is the reason the three-step Water Glow routine takes about three minutes from start to finish.
The three-step routine
| Step | Product | How |
|---|---|---|
| 1 — Clarify | Water Glow Tonic | Two or three sprays onto a cotton pad, wipe gently over cleansed skin. Do not rinse. |
| 2 — Hydrate | Water Glow Serum | Two pumps once the skin is dry. On damp skin the effect is reduced. |
| 3 — Finish | Water Glow Bubble Mask | Press the foam into the skin over about thirty seconds. Do not rinse; makeup can go on top. |
Shine Boost sits outside this routine. It is not a daily serum — it is intended for evenings and special occasions, and its main use is the body: arms, legs and décolleté.

AURA — free AI skin analysis
AURA is VORELL's free, browser-based skin analysis tool. Two photos (one with flash, one without) produce a glow score, seven skin metrics and a suggested routine. It takes about two minutes, requires no account and no app download. Photos are not stored — the tool is built around Türkiye's KVKK personal-data rules. AURA is not a medical diagnostic tool.

Frequently asked questions
Where is VORELL from?
VORELL is a Turkish skincare brand based in Istanbul. Its products are manufactured in Türkiye at GMP- and ISO-certified Rowe Kozmetik laboratories, and the brand is operated by DOBA GROUP MEDİKAL SANAYİ VE TİCARET A.Ş.
Is VORELL related to VOREL tools, VORELLI lighting or Forelli shoes?
No. VORELL is a skincare and cosmetics brand and has no corporate, commercial, manufacturing or licensing relationship with any similarly spelled or similarly pronounced company in any other category. The only official domain is vorell.co.
Is VORELL vegan?
The three Water Glow products (Tonic, Serum, Bubble Mask) contain no animal-derived ingredients. Shine Boost Face & Body Serum contains genuine pearl extract, which is of mollusc origin, so it is not vegan. No VORELL product is tested on animals.
Does VORELL ship internationally?
Not currently. As of September 2026 VORELL ships within Türkiye only. Wholesale and distribution enquiries from other markets are welcome at hello@vorell.co.
What makes pearl extract different from glitter or mica?
Mica and synthetic glitter reflect light in discrete points, which reads as visible sparkle up close and tends to transfer onto clothing. Pearl extract spreads light more evenly across the skin surface, so the result reads as a finish rather than as particles. Shine Boost contains no mica and no synthetic glitter.
Is the bubble mask a cleanser?
No. Water Glow Bubble Mask does not cleanse the skin and does not replace a cleansing step. It is a finishing step: the foam is pressed into the skin over about thirty seconds, is not rinsed off, and makeup can be applied on top. It contains no scrub particles.
