Frequent Questions

We’ve evolved to Face Formula to better represent our focus on innovative, personalized skincare and to support our plans for international expansion. Our new name allows us to reach a broader audience while staying true to our commitment to quality.

Face Formula is a Norwegian skincare brand with nearly 20 years of clinical experience. What sets us apart is our longevity-based approach to skincare — focusing not just on short-term results, but on maintaining healthy, resilient skin over time.

Each formula is developed with a combination of clinically proven actives and gentle, skin-identical ingredients. We avoid chasing trends or single "hero" ingredients - instead, we build carefully balanced formulas that support the skin’s natural ability to protect, renew, and adapt.

Rooted in Scandinavian values of honesty, simplicity, and balance, Face Formula offers clean, effective skincare that evolves with your skin - so you can feel confident in it today, and in the years to come.

You can expect the same trusted products and results you’ve come to love from Elixir Cosmeceuticals. We’ve refined our product lines and packaging to make it easier for you to find solutions tailored to your skin’s needs.

Absolutely. The products you trust are made with the same high-quality standards, formulations, and effective ingredients. Our commitment to quality remains unchanged, and we’re dedicated to delivering the reliable results you expect from us under our new brand, Face Formula.

For a short period, you will see some Elixir Cosmeceuticals products alongside our new Face Formula branding, as stock levels vary by product. We’ve worked hard to make this transition as seamless as possible, so most products will be available immediately under the new brand. Rest assured, your favorite products will remain accessible throughout this period.

Most of our product formulas will stay the same, ensuring you get the familiar results you trust. However, we’re making a few updates to some products, including Face Foam and Essential Formula (previously Face Formula), to incorporate the latest advancements in skincare technology. These adjustments are designed to enhance their effectiveness while maintaining our commitment to quality.

We redesigned our packaging to build a stronger brand identity that’s easier to spot on the shelf, while also modernizing our look to reflect the high quality of our products. Think of it as giving your trusted favorites the suit they deserve! While the outside has changed, you’ll still find the same products you love inside.

No, our core values remain the same. We’re still committed to creating effective, science-backed skincare that’s rooted in Norwegian craftsmanship, with a focus on clean, active ingredients, quality, and personalization.

Yes - all of our products are cruelty-free. They are produced in Europe (specifically in Italy, Switzerland, and Germany), where animal testing for cosmetics has long been banned. We also only sell our products in countries where animal testing is not required by law.

That said, we believe in transparency: while none of our finished products or ingredients are tested on animals, many active ingredients in skincare have historically undergone animal testing during their development, to ensure safety and efficacy. This applies to most active ingredients used in the industry today.

Because of this, we are not officially certified as cruelty-free. Certification involves specific criteria that can be difficult to meet due to the historical use of certain ingredients. We choose not to make claims we cannot fully stand behind - but we are committed to ethical practices and transparency every step of the way.
