What does my skin need right now?
Genetic Microbiome Test - Discover what your skin needs right now
This test focuses on your skin’s current condition by analyzing microbiome balance, hydration, sebum levels, and barrier function. It’s ideal for identifying immediate care needs and guiding ingredient selection and tailored skincare advice.
What does my skin need long term?
Genetic Methylation Test - Discover what is really going on with your skin longer term
This deeper-level test examines epigenetic markers—a fancy way of saying how your everyday life, stress, sleep, diet, sun, and environmental stressors are influencing your skin’s biological age and your skin's condition. Unlike regular tests that just look at your skin's surface or short-term health, this one shows how your lifestyle is speeding up or slowing down your skin’s aging from the inside out. It’s like a deeper report card for your skin's future, not just today. It helps you take proactive steps toward long-term skin health and aging. Whether you're focused on prevention, recovery, or long-term glow, this test helps you make smarter lifestyle choices for your skin’s future.
How can I use the results?
Personalized Serum - Powered by Your Skin's DNA Data
Available exclusively when you complete one or both tests, your custom serum is blended to match your unique skin profile. Say goodbye to guesswork—your formula uses only ingredients that your skin will truly benefit from, carefully selected based on your own test results.
How does the at-home DNA test work?
Our at-home DNA test is simple and non-invasive. It's easy to use: you collect a small DNA sample using a cheek swab, send it back to our lab, and receive detailed insights into how your lifestyle, genes, and environment are influencing your skin’s long-term health and aging. No clinic visits needed.
Can this test detect facial skin conditions?
Yes, Skinara skin analysis is designed to detect early signs of common facial skin conditions, such as acne, redness, hyperpigmentation, and early signs of aging. Identifying these early allows for better, more targeted treatment and prevention strategies.
What is the Genetic Methylation Test, and why is it important?
Our Genetic Methylation Test goes deeper than any typical skincare analysis. It looks at epigenetic markers—which are your skin signals that show how your lifestyle and environment are affecting your skin at the DNA level. This test reveals whether your habits are speeding up or slowing down skin conditions or aging, helping you take smarter steps for long-term skin health.
What is face mapping and how can it help my skin?
Face mapping is a method that analyzes different zones of your face to understand how internal imbalances or lifestyle factors show up as skin issues—like breakouts or dryness—in specific areas. It’s often used as a first step in skin testing and personalized treatment planning.
What is face analysis and how is it different from face mapping?
Face analysis uses imaging and AI to evaluate visible features like texture, tone, and pore size, providing an objective assessment of your skin’s surface. In contrast, Skinara face mapping looks deeper by interpreting internal causes behind those visible signs. It offers a visual breakdown of your skin’s current condition, making it an excellent tool for tracking changes over time and measuring treatment results.
Should I be using ingredients like retinol?
Retinol is often applied to mature skin. Retinol helps speed up cell turnover, improves skin texture, and prevents early signs of aging. However, not everyone needs it. If your skin is sensitive or already well-balanced, introducing retinol too early or using too strong a concentration can do more harm than good. That’s why we recommend testing your skin first—through tools like face analysis or our Genetic Methylation Test —to know whether your skin will actually benefit from retinol now.
Are expensive ingredients better for my skin?
Not necessarily. Just because an ingredient is expensive—like retinol, peptides or rare botanicals—doesn’t mean it’s right for your skin. High-performance ingredients can be amazing if they’re matched to your skin’s actual needs. That’s where our skin type test and facial skin condition analysis come in. We use DNA data to determine which ingredients your skin will respond to, and avoid wasting money on products that might not work, so you can make smarter ingredient choices.
Should I be using hyaluronic acid every day?
Hyaluronic acid or its salt form sodium hyaluronate, is a great hydrator and works well for most skin types—but its effectiveness depends on your skin’s barrier function and hydration levels. If your skin barrier is damaged or dehydrated, it can help—but if your skin is already well-hydrated, layering too much can make it overloaded. Our skin analysis testing helps assess your skin’s moisture balance so you can use ingredients like hyaluronic acid more effectively, and the right molecular size and weight, if you're looking to optimize your skin health long term.
How are Skinara Tests different from other tests?
Skinara skin analysis is not just skin-deep: Most skin tests look at your skin’s predispositions. Skinara skin analyses goes beyond it: we're not just at the skin traits you were born with—we'll show you how your current habits are changing your skin’s behavior. And provide an action plan to regain a youthful glow.
We’re future-focused: You’ll also learn how to help prevent skin problems before visible signs even show up.
