SkinCareDNA Test

$119

A Skin DNA test is the ultimate tool for preventive skin care, offering greater control over the ageing process by examining your unique genetic makeup. The SkinCareDNA test offered by Forensics Canada is one of the most advanced and innovative DNA tests available today. It provides the ideal foundation for your skin treatment and care—because your skin is as unique as your DNA.

Science in Skin Care: Taking your skin to the next level

Many beauticians and shop assistants recommend skincare products based only on whether your skin is dry, oily, or normal. But that’s not enough. True skincare goes beyond surface-level assessments. The most effective cream and skincare routine can only be determined by understanding your genes and scientifically identifying what truly works for your unique DNA.

With Forensics Canada’s SkinCareDNA test, your results will be ready within 10 to 15 working days from the receipt of your samples.

Different aspects of skincare in your results

The SkinCareDNA test determines whether you are at high, medium, or low risk for various aspects of skin ageing, based on the selected testing option. The analysis covers the following six key categories:

Category 1: Photoaging
This section evaluates your skin’s sensitivity to external aging factors, particularly damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
Photoaging—also known as photodamage, solar damage, or sun damage—can accelerate the appearance of aging and increase the risk of skin cancer.

Category 2: Antioxidant Capacity
Your ability to produce antioxidants that fight free radical damage is largely genetic. Antioxidants help maintain a plump, youthful appearance by neutralizing harmful free radicals that break down skin cells.
This test assesses your skin’s genetic resilience to oxidative stress.

Category 3: Acne
Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to breakouts.
The test evaluates your genetic predisposition to this common skin condition, which affects more than 85% of adolescents and can also persist into adulthood.

Category 4: Skin Inflammation
Skin inflammation results from an overreactive immune response to allergens or irritants, leading to redness, itching, rashes, or even painful blisters.
This category assesses your likelihood of experiencing inflammation due to environmental or internal triggers.

Category 5: Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are enlarged, bluish veins visible beneath the skin’s surface. They can cause discomfort, itching, and in some cases, serious complications like ulcers or thrombosis.
The test checks your genetic tendency toward developing varicose veins.

Category 6: Cellulite
Contrary to common belief, cellulite can affect up to 80% of women, regardless of weight. It is caused by fibrous tissue irregularities and fat deposits beneath the skin, resulting in a dimpled appearance.
This section evaluates your predisposition to developing cellulite based on genetic markers.

Sample collection

Sample collection for your Forensics Canada SkinCareDNA test is simple and straightforward. Once your order is confirmed, a DNA kit will be sent to the address you provide. In just three easy steps, you can collect your sample and return it for analysis:

  1. Rub the oral swabs under your tongue and along the inside of your cheeks

  2. Let the swabs air dry for one hour

  3. Seal the swabs in the provided envelope and send them back for testing

Note: The SkinCareDNA test is scientifically validated to support personalized skin treatment by aligning your skincare routine with your genetic profile. While it cannot stop the aging process, it may help slow it down. External factors like sun exposure, diet, and lifestyle greatly impact skin aging, while others—such as time and gravity—remain beyond our control.
