The #1 Skin DNA Test That Provides
Healthy aging is a natural part of life, but your environment, lifestyle choices, or genetic variations can cause unhealthy (premature) skin aging. Reduce your risk for – and visible signs of – unhealthy skin aging with the Yudoyu Skin DNA Test.
Register your test, swab the inside of your cheek, mail your sample to us, then take the Yudoyu skin quiz.
Developed by the world leader in skin genetics, the Yudoyu Skin DNA Test is the most comprehensive on the market.
1-in-3 people have skin predisposed to accelerated collagen breakdown. Collagen keeps skin firm, plump, and wrinkle-free.
1 in 2 people have reduced protection against Glycation Wrinkling. This contributes to skin dryness, laxity, wrinkling, and thinning.
3 in 4 people have irregular melanin production and photo-sensitivities causing sunburn, brown spots, uneven tone, and irreversible skin cell damage.
2 in 5 people have deficient skin UV defenses. UVA (aging) rays account for 90% of the symptoms of premature skin aging.
1 in 2 people has reduced skin antioxidant protection. Free radical oxidation causes a dull, lifeless, and aged complexion.
4 in 5 people have an overreactive sensitivity response. Constant inflammation dramatically ages the skin. The signs include skin sensitivity, redness, and irritation.
I learned much from my DNA test, including that my skin is prone to hyperpigmentation due to a gene variation. After the birth of my son, I started to notice some discoloration. I thought it would fade away, but it didn’t. Now, I know about ingredients, products, and even recipes I can use to improve…
“Your DNA is responsible for around 50% of the way your skin will age – the rest is up to you. If you are eager to understand what role your genetics will play in your skin health, the 99% accurate, Yudoyu DNA test is the ideal place to start.”
Yudoyu has helped me make BETTER purchasing choices for my super sensitive, combination skin. Now, my skin looks dewy soft, and bright instead of irritated and shiny.
“I have done this DNA analysis and the results were helpful for selecting products for me. I recommend all of my clients consider having their skin DNA analyzed. It’s very simple and tells you important information about your skincare needs.”
“Most people are unsure of their skin’s needs, this is a great way to be educated about what will REALLY help your skin.”
“Yudoyu is changing the way people shop for skincare. Clear and concise recommendations based on someone’s DNA coupled with their lifestyle will take the guesswork out of picking products. It’s empowering.“
The products chosen for me in my Yudoyu® quiz are amazing. The combination of the Aavrani Purifying Oil Cleanser and Firming Vitamin C Treatment really livened up my skin tone and helped heal my blemishes.
“I really like that Yudoyu simplifies making product decisions using real data vs. claims.”
“Fantastic, I love that this is my body telling me what products are best for keeping my skin healthy.”
“Wow, this analysis is easy and has saved valuable time in my hectic schedule. I don’t have time to shop for skincare, let alone do in-depth research and read oodles of labels to find the RIGHT combination of products for me. Plus, my skin has been greatly improved.”
“Data – for better or worse – is invaluable. Everyone wants to see the science and there is no denying your own DNA. Consumers are more educated than ever and real science is becoming crucial.”
My skin looks better using the clean, effective products I’ve bought here. Yudoyu’s philosophy of individualized beauty resonates with me because I want to EMBRACE my age, skin, and who I am. The way I look is JUST RIGHT for me! Plus… I feel like I’m helping the world (just a little bit) by supporting…
“This is a very exciting concept for addressing skin concerns, a little investment can tell you so much about why your skin behaves the way it does, and how it will behave in the future.”
A targeted approach ultimately leads to better outcomes, and that’s what we want to do in skincare! Understanding the why and how something is happening provides a better roadmap to solving the problem. The answers to the why and how of our skin start with understanding its biology. Our skin’s biology allows us to understand…
“My analysis revealed important things I did not know about my skin. Finally, something that considers both my biology and the hot and cold Chicago weather.”
Learn about your skin’s strengths, weaknesses, and overall DNA health. And discover your biologically selected skincare program based on your DNA.
