Skin care based on your DNA
About the test
Genetic characteristics and skin care
The skin care DNA test analyses selected genetic variants that the laboratory associates with skin characteristics. The report explains them and provides skin care recommendations.
The results describe genetic predispositions. They do not measure your current skin condition and do not guarantee that a particular product will be effective.
What areas are discussed?
Collagen; skin elasticity; fine lines and wrinkles; response to sun exposure; pigmentation; antioxidant processes; skin sensitivity.
What will you receive?
A report interpreting the tested genetic variants and providing related care recommendations. A sample report helps you become familiar with its format.
How can I use the information?
Consider the recommendations alongside your actual skin condition, the products you use and advice from a dermatologist. The test does not replace sun protection and does not determine whether a particular cosmetic product will cause an allergy.

Frequently asked questions
Is a skin sample tested?
No. This test uses a cheek swab sample from which DNA is extracted.
Does the test show current collagen levels?
No. Genetic variants are tested, rather than directly measuring collagen levels or skin elasticity.
Will the test select the best cream?
The report provides recommendations, but the effectiveness or tolerability of a particular product is not guaranteed.
Does it diagnose skin diseases?
This product is intended to provide information for skin care, rather than diagnose dermatological diseases.
