Description

Understand your skin needs and unlock your best skin yet with personalised science-based guidance.

Our in-depth skin diagnosis looks at how your skin microbiome works to maintain your skin health, and what you can do to improve it even further. The Skin Health report includes:

- Your Skin Microbiome Diversity Index: a deep dive into your skin microbiome, with % of key bacteria on your skin & explanation, as well as what you can do to improve your overall microbiome diversity and health, taking into consideration the effects that your physical environment has on your skin

- Your Skin Profile, including your skin age, hydration level, sensitivity response, firmness, sun protection and anti-oxidant capacity.

- Personalised recommendations: how to boost your skin’s overall health vs your results, what cosmetic ingredients your skin needs (and what you should give a miss), what visible signs to look out for as indicators of your skin health.

You will also receive a Gallinée routine recommendation based on your results. When purchasing a Skin Health Test, receive £50 redeemable off your next purchase on Gallinée.com

FAQs

Frequent questions answered by our founder and Doctor of Pharmacy.

I have combination skin. Will the test results be accurate if my t-zone is different to the rest of my skin?

Sequential Skin, the biotech company that developed this test, has done extensive studies comparing the T zone (which covers the forehead and nose) and U zone (which covers the cheeks and chin). As a result they didn’t observe significant differences between T and U zones for the targeted skin microbiome markers, so the test results will be accurate even if the skin on your forehead tends to be oilier than the rest of your face.
