This is the home DNA test that develops a personalized profile based on your unique genome to help you keep your skin looking younger and more vibrant. The kit includes swabs that you rub against the inside of your cheek and mail to a professional laboratory via the provided envelope. Using the latest genetic technology and research, the laboratory examines 28 genetic markers (SNPs) in seven categories associated with skin aging (collagen quality, elasticity, fine lines and wrinkles, sun protection, pigmentation, antioxidants, and sensitivity). The resulting report gives recommendations tailored to your DNA profile so you can spend money more wisely on skin care and eliminate the wasteful trial and error of trying different products. The comprehensive report is available within six weeks, viewable online through the laboratory’s website, and offers advice for the most effective topical ingredients, supplements, and professional treatments.
