1. Why should I do the EpigenCare™ skincare test?
Current skincare is based on mass marketing and so-called professional advice which is far too general. This leads to you receiving the same blanket recommendations for taking care of your skin as everyone else. Moreover, other “personalized” skincare tests are based on inflexible genetics that do not factor in the dynamic aspects of skin. Because skin can be affected by aging, environment, and lifestyle, a scientific discipline called epigenetics is necessary for tracking the dynamic elements of your skin. This is the core process of the EpigenCare(TM) test, which can provide insight into specific epigenetic states of your skin. Such information allows our report to include recommendations of skincare products and solutions tailored to your profile.
2. How does the EpigenCare™ skincare test work?
The EpigenCare(TM) test is a patent-applicable non-invasive, precision epigenetics skincare test. This test detects DNA methylation-controlled activation and inactivation of multiple genes that have been proven to functionally control skin aging, healthiness, and beauty appearance. The test report provides scalable and precision results which include information on your skin’s age, firmness and elasticity, moisture, DNA damage and repairability, cell renewal and regeneration capacity, oxidation/antioxidant capacity, sensitivity and inflammatory response, and pigmentation. Our method is developed based on accumulation of years of research results pertaining to epigenetic markers of skincare-related biological pathways, which were repeatedly validated by dermatology, cosmetic research, and aging science research groups at top institutes and universities. The procedure is carried out in epigenetics specialized laboratory facilities by using our proprietary STAMP(TM) (Skin Targeted Amplification of Methylation Panels) technology, combined with next generation sequencing in order to ensure the accuracy of the results.
3. How will the EpigenCare™ skincare test benefit me?
Based on the epigenetic testing results, which identify your unique skin status from more than 6.2 billion different skin status patterns, EpigenCare provides you the truly personalized skincare products/options algorithmically selected from more than 20,000 skincare products available on market, which are the best to suit your need.
4. How does the EpigenCare™ skincare test compare to other genetic skincare tests?
Genetic skincare tests are based on genetic variations (known as SNP markers), which only provide limited information about intrinsic risk or susceptibility to skin diseases within a small, specific population. This is because genetics is established at birth and is not changeable or reversible. Your skin is dynamic which is regulated by your interaction with the environment and is controlled by epigenetics, a system of mechanisms that can turn on or turn of your genes. Additionally, Subsequently, only an epigenetic-based skincare test can truly identify the unique properties of your skin to determine which skincare products are best suited for you. This test is the first epigenetic skincare test in the world and is only available from EpigenCare(TM).
