Codex Labs newly unveiled a pair of at-home skincare test kits that empower people to better understand their skin and use better products as a result.
Alongside the Decode.Myskin DNA Test, Codex Labs unveiled a Decode.Myhealth Vitamin DNA Test, which also uses qPCR sequencing for a data-driven approach to skincare. While the former assesses skin oxidative stress, sensitivity, irritation, oiliness, pimples, pigmentation, sun exposure and general aging, the latter looks for the absorption, transport and metabolism of Vitamins A through E and as it relates to the health of the skin.
Each test is paired with a 30-minute video or chat consultation with a genetic counselor so that the results are easily understandable, and a personalized skincare routine can be created accordingly.
