The skin microbiome, an intricate ecosystem unique to every individual, plays an important role in maintaining skin health and produces important nutrients to support our skin's beauty needs, such as vitamins, antioxidants, and fatty acids. It dynamically responds to external factors such as weather, pollution, UV exposure, cosmetics, stress, sleep, and exercise and imbalances in the microbiome have been linked to various skin concerns, including dryness, sensitivity, acne, and premature aging. By gaining a deeper understanding of the skin microbiome, individuals can better address their specific skincare needs.

The POND'S SKIN INSTITUTE Microbiome Analyzer utilizes rapid profiling and innovative data tools to facilitate identification of users' microbiome signature. Consumers will learn about their skincare needs and be recommended a suitable skincare regimen, based on their microbiome characteristics. The process is simple. Here's how it works:

  1. Provide a Sample: An on-site beauty advisor will assist in collecting a microbiome sample. All it takes is a gentle swab of your skin.
  2. Test Processing: The sample will be processed and within 60mins, the analysis will be completed.
