About Elora Clinic

What makes Elora Clinic different from other skincare brands?
Elora Clinic stands for science before trends. Our ingredient library explains the roles of ingredients in our formulas and the evidence behind those roles. A study of an ingredient does not establish the same result for every finished product.
Who is the founder of Elora Clinic?
Founded by Elora Ellis—a chemist, actress, and director whose chemistry background drives our formulas and whose cinematic vision shapes our brand.
Where are Elora Clinic products made?
Formulated and manufactured in Los Angeles, California.
What does “small batch production” mean?
Small-batch production means making products in limited quantities. Batch size alone does not establish a product’s freshness, potency, shelf life or safety.
Is Elora Clinic cruelty-free and vegan?
Animal welfare matters to us. Vegan ingredient sourcing and animal-testing practices are separate questions. We do not claim third-party vegan or cruelty-free certification across our line; ingredient names alone cannot verify every supplier’s sourcing or testing practices.
Does Elora Clinic have retail locations or is it online only?
We’re online only at eloraclinic.com, with official Amazon and Walmart storefronts.
How can I contact customer support?
Email customerservice@eloraclinic.com. We typically reply within 24 hours.
How do you ensure product quality and safety?
Quality and safety depend on the complete formula, ingredients, packaging and intended use. For information about a particular product or batch, contact customer service with the product name and batch number.

Ingredients & Formulations

Are Elora Clinic products fragrance-free?
Fragrance information depends on the product. Our Frankincense formula contains a naturally aromatic essential oil. If you avoid fragrance ingredients, review the specific product’s full ingredient list, since plant-derived ingredients can also matter for sensitivities.
What type of ingredients do you use?
Our formulas use ingredients such as Niacinamide, a Vitamin C derivative, Caffeine and Sodium Hyaluronate, alongside ingredients for preservation, texture and skin feel. Check the specific product’s full ingredient list. Explore the ingredient library.
Are your products suitable for sensitive skin?
Suitability depends on the product and your individual sensitivities. Review the full ingredient list and try a small area before broader use. Stop use if irritation occurs, and ask a dermatologist for guidance if your skin is persistently reactive.
Where do you source ingredients?
Ingredients come from multiple suppliers, and their origin and documentation vary by material. Our ingredient library links ingredient-specific references; contact customer service with a specific sourcing question.
Do your products contain parabens, sulfates, or alcohol?
Our reviewed formulas are made without intentionally added parabens, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) or sodium laureth sulfate (SLES). Alcohol content depends on the formula: the ingredient blend for our coming-soon Retinol formula includes Alcohol (ethanol). Preservatives help protect formulas from microbial spoilage; their suitability depends on the complete formula and use.
What does “science before trends” mean?
We prioritize proven actives, formulation chemistry, and data—not fads.
How do you test safety and effectiveness?
For product-specific testing information, contact customer service with the product name. Published ingredient research and supplier data can inform formulation, but do not by themselves establish the safety or effectiveness of every finished product.
What’s the shelf life of your serums?
Follow the expiration date, period-after-opening symbol and storage directions on your product’s packaging. Shelf life varies by formula and storage. If the labeling is unclear, contact customer service with the product name and batch number. Read the FDA’s shelf-life guidance.
Are your products non-comedogenic?
We do not make a blanket non-comedogenic guarantee for the collection. Whether a product suits acne-prone skin depends on its complete formula and your skin’s response. Check the product-specific information and introduce new products gradually.
Can I layer multiple Elora Clinic serums?
Yes—apply lighter textures first, then richer ones.

Product Use & Routine

Which serum should I start with?
Start with your main concern, the current product directions and your skin’s tolerance. There is no single serum or concentration that suits everyone. Introduce one new product at a time so you can judge your response.
How should I apply the serums?
2–3 drops on clean, slightly damp skin; follow with moisturizer and daily SPF (AM).
Can I use these with retinol or acids?
Generally compatible; introduce gradually to prevent irritation.
How long until I see results?
Results and timing vary with the formula, the concern being addressed and individual skin. Follow the product’s directions and avoid increasing use to chase faster results. No fixed result timeline applies to every serum or person.
Are your serums safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Ask your obstetrician or dermatologist to review the full ingredient list of the specific product before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Retinoid products should be avoided during pregnancy. See the American Academy of Dermatology’s pregnancy skin-care guidance.
Morning or night?
Hydration/brightening: AM or PM. Exfoliating/renewing: PM preferred.
Can I mix different serums?
Yes—layer or alternate based on your skin’s needs.
Should I refrigerate my serums?
Follow the storage directions on the product’s packaging. Refrigeration is not a general recommendation for every formula; changes in temperature can affect a cosmetic’s texture and stability.
How do I know which serum is right for me?
Use the Function Finder or email customerservice@eloraclinic.com.

Red Light Therapy Serum

What makes it unique?
The Red Light Therapy Serum is an oil-based formula with squalane, avocado, sweet almond, black seed and jojoba oils, a green tea extract blend, and Vitamin E. It is designed for a facial-oil routine. Follow the serum directions and your device manufacturer’s guidance; the formula should not be assumed to increase a device’s effectiveness.
Do I need a red-light device?
No device is required to use the serum as skincare. If you also use a red-light device, follow its manufacturer’s directions about what can be applied before or after a session.
How often should I use it?
Twice daily on clean skin.
Is it suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?
Check the specific formula and your skin’s response. A serum’s texture alone does not establish that it is non-comedogenic or suitable for everyone with oily or acne-prone skin.
Can I use it with Vitamin C or Niacinamide?
Compatibility depends on the complete formulas and your skin’s tolerance. Follow each product’s directions and introduce combinations gradually. If irritation occurs, stop using the combination.
Does it increase sun sensitivity?
We do not make a blanket non-photosensitizing guarantee. Follow the product’s warnings and use appropriate daily sun protection. If you have a photosensitivity condition or take a photosensitizing medicine, ask your clinician before combining skincare with a light device.
How long does one bottle last?
About 6–8 weeks with twice-daily use.
