Skincare Report Guide

The report is for educational and informational purpose only it does not provide any medical advices.

The recommendations based on treatments that dermatologists such as American Academy of Dermatology (ADA) generally suggests how to care for your skin. We personalized the report content based on your genetic profile for the purpose of increasing your awareness for certain skincare treatments.

It does not recommend specific supplements or anti-aging products.

Summary

The skincare summary shows your genetic predispositions that contribute to different types of skin and skin conditions. You'll see which skin category would have a higher risk, while other categories gave a lower risk.

With each trait we have given a genetic tendency

The genetic tendencies have been classified into three outcomes:

We detect which skin categories would take a higher risk from your genetic predispositions. They are #1 things you should care about. But no worries! We provide some advice that you can manage that risks.

Some of your results fall into "Moderate" risk, but it doesn't mean you don't need to care about it. We also provide some useful advice that you can take action. Please keep your eye on these categories, too.

Great! You have a lower risk for some skin categories. Keep it going, but it is always good to mindful of these good skin conditions.

Trait Categories

Texture, elasticity
& firmness

This section of the Skincare Report details many different traits related to texture, elasticity, and skin firmness that have been specifically correlated to genetic variants that you carry. Specifically, we’ll take a look at cellulite, sagging eyelids, facial wrinkles, facial skin youthfulness, and facial telangiectasia (spider veins).

Sensitivity

We all know that some people’s skin is more sensitive to allergens and environmental irritants compared to other people’s skin. We will take a look at genes related to dermal sensitivity, sensitization to grass, and skin barrier sensitivity. These traits can help explain why you may have more or less sensitive skin compared to other people.

Inflammations

Believe it or not, certain genes can affect how easily your skin will develop an inflammatory reaction. Genes can influence traits related to inflammation including rosacea, contact dermatitis, eczema, and acne.

Water level

In this report, our scientists and researchers have curated a number of traits correlated directly to genetic variations that can influence your skin’s oil and water levels. We’ll look at transdermal water loss, excessive sweating, and other traits related to sweating and body odor that can influence your skin’s natural oil and water levels.

Pigmentation

Genes controlling pigments in your skin not only determine your skin tone, but they can also determine traits like age spots, skin pigmentation, and dark circles. In this section of the report, we analyze your genes to see the variants you carry may affect these traits.

Sun sensitivity

Sunlight contains damaging UV rays that can cause freckles, skin blemishes, age spots, and even skin cancer. That being said, there are certain genes that can affect how sensitive your skin is to sun exposure.

Your report has been divided into three sections:

Summary

We have 6 categories of skin conditions and each of them shows High, Medium, or Low risk based on your genetic predispositions. With these results, you'll see what categories of your skin condition will be cared closely.

Traits in Depth

This section covers 15 skin traits that have been correlated to specific genetic variants that you may or may not carry. Using your raw DNA file, we can predict which skin traits you are likely to show. Each trait report details exactly which genetic markers we analyze, as well as what peer-reviewed scientific journals are referenced for our trait reports.

Personal advice

Using research from the American Academy of Dermatology, we provide an advice section curated for you. This section details exactly how you should care for your skin, based on your genes and proven techniques used by dermatologists!
