Coming soon. Formula under development. The ingredient information below describes the planned formula. Final ingredients, retinol strength and directions will be confirmed before launch.
Elora Clinic Retinol Face Serum is a planned 30 mL water-based facial serum centered on retinol and hydration. The formula was developed to give retinol a focused role within a streamlined serum rather than combining it with a long list of competing active ingredients. Its lightweight water-based architecture incorporates aloe vera, glycerin, pentylene glycol, lecithin, and supporting formulation ingredients around retinol for use within an evening skincare routine.
Its primary functions are Retinol · Skin Renewal · Hydration.
Why Elora Clinic Created This Formula
Retinol is an ingredient that often appears in increasingly complicated formulas containing numerous additional actives. Elora Clinic Retinol Face Serum takes a more focused approach.
The objective was to create a dedicated retinol serum where retinol remains the defining active ingredient and the surrounding formula serves specific purposes: creating the water-based delivery system, supporting hydration, maintaining formulation stability, and protecting the finished product.
This makes the serum easier to understand and easier to position within a skincare routine. Rather than asking one formula to accomplish everything, Elora Clinic Retinol Face Serum is designed around one clear treatment direction: retinol-based skin renewal supported by a lightweight water-based formula.
How Elora Clinic Retinol Face Serum Is Formulated
The serum begins with an aqueous base of water and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice. Glycerin and pentylene glycol contribute to the supporting water-based system.
The formula also contains lecithin and polysorbate 20, which perform functional roles within the formulation and help create an appropriate delivery environment for the finished serum.
Retinol is then incorporated as the featured active ingredient.
Tetrasodium EDTA provides additional formulation support, while phenoxyethanol, caprylyl glycol, and sorbic acidform the preservation system required for this water-containing cosmetic.
The result is a deliberately structured formula in which every ingredient has a defined role around the central retinol treatment.
The Featured Active: Retinol
Retinol is the defining active ingredient in Elora Clinic Retinol Face Serum.
It is included to support skin renewal and the appearance of smoother, more refined-looking skin. Instead of surrounding retinol with numerous other headline actives, the formula keeps its identity centered on retinol itself.
That distinction is important within the Elora Clinic serum collection. Someone specifically looking to introduce retinol into a routine can select a dedicated retinol formula rather than automatically combining several different treatment ingredients in the same product.
The Supporting Water-Based System
Although retinol gives the serum its primary identity, the surrounding formulation is equally important to the finished product.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice forms part of the aqueous foundation of the serum, while glycerin and pentylene glycolcontribute to the supporting hydration and formulation system.
Lecithin and polysorbate 20 serve functional formulation roles that help build the serum’s overall delivery system.
Together, these ingredients allow Elora Clinic to formulate retinol within a water-based facial serum rather than a traditional facial oil.
Active and Supporting Ingredients
The formula can be understood according to the role each group of ingredients performs.
Featured active: Retinol.
Water-based and hydration support: Aqua (Water), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Glycerin, and Pentylene Glycol.
Formula support: Lecithin, Polysorbate 20, and Tetrasodium EDTA.
Preservation system: Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, and Sorbic Acid.
This relatively focused ingredient architecture gives the product a clear purpose without unnecessarily turning it into a multi-active treatment.
The supplied retinol blend also contributes Alcohol, Potassium Phosphate, Tocopherol, Ascorbyl Palmitate, BHT and BHA. The aloe ingredient contributes Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate and Citric Acid. All are included in the planned declaration. This formula is not alcohol-free.
Preservative System
Elora Clinic Retinol Face Serum is a water-based cosmetic, so an appropriate preservation system is an essential part of the finished formulation.
The serum uses Phenoxyethanol (and) Caprylyl Glycol (and) Sorbic Acid as its preservative system. Tetrasodium EDTA is also included as a supporting formulation ingredient.
Preservation is especially important in water-containing skincare because the formulation must remain appropriately protected from microbial contamination throughout its intended shelf life and normal consumer use.
Planned Ingredient List
Planned INCI: Water (Aqua), Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) Leaf Juice, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Lecithin, Retinol, Polysorbate 20, Alcohol, Potassium Phosphate, Tocopherol, Ascorbyl Palmitate, BHT, BHA, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Tetrasodium EDTA, Sorbic Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Citric Acid.
The planned ingredient declaration reflects the philosophy behind the product: a focused retinol treatment supported by the ingredients necessary to create, stabilize, hydrate, and preserve the finished water-based serum.
What Makes Elora Clinic Retinol Face Serum Different?
The defining characteristic of this serum is its focused formula architecture.
It is not positioned as a serum containing retinol plus every trending skincare ingredient. Retinol provides the central treatment direction, while the surrounding ingredients are selected to support the finished formulation.
This also gives consumers greater control over their routines. Instead of receiving numerous actives automatically in one bottle, a dedicated retinol serum can be incorporated alongside other products according to individual skincare needs and tolerance.
Planned Routine Position
The planned routine position is an evening skincare step. This product is not yet available. Follow the final product label after launch; do not treat this development description as finished-product directions.
Apply Elora Clinic Retinol Face Serum to clean skin during an evening skincare routine. Begin gradually rather than immediately using the product every night, particularly when retinol is new to your routine.
General retinol education: introduce retinol-containing products gradually and avoid adding several potentially irritating active products at the same time. Discontinue a product if irritation persists.
Because retinoids can increase sensitivity to sunlight, daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is particularly important while using a retinol skincare product.
Who Is Elora Clinic Retinol Face Serum Designed For?
This serum is designed for someone looking for a dedicated water-based retinol treatment within a more intentional skincare routine.
Its primary focus is skin renewal, visible smoothness, and hydration, rather than oil balance, antioxidant-focused skincare, or intensive oil-based nourishment.
Because tolerance to retinol varies considerably between individuals, frequency should be adjusted according to how the skin responds.
