Pond’s Skin Institute’s Microbiome Analyzer Offers Science-Based Skincare Recommendations

Pond’s Skin Institute has debuted a microbiome analyzer that deciphers the complex ecosystem of microorganisms residing on the skin and delivers insights that empower consumers to make more precise choices.

The state-of-the-art test generates a customized microbiome report, identifies users’ unique skin profile and recommends a day and night skincare regimen best suited to their individualized results.

“At the Pond’s Skin Institute, we’re constantly innovating to help people achieve their ultimate skin, and we’re thrilled to reveal the microbiome analyzer as our latest beauty breakthrough,” said Lucia Liu, R&D Platform Lead for Pond’s Skin Institute. “Invisible to the naked eye, the microbiome holds specific information about how to enhance your skin and guide your skincare routine. Leveraging our unrivaled expertise in microbiome science, this new technology is a game-changer in making that data accessible, comprehensible and actionable.”

Leveraging Rapid Profiling and Innovative Data

The Pond Skin Institute’s 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.

An on-site beauty advisor will assist in collecting a microbiome sample with a swab of the skin. The sample will be processed, and the analysis will be completed in one hour. A beauty advisor will generate the consumer’s microbiome report, including personalized skincare recommendations.

The tool integrates the latest product innovations available from Pond’s Institute, such as the new Age Miracle Ultimate Youth Serum with Hexyl-Retinol that boosts collagen for reduced wrinkle appearance and plumper skin, and the new Bright Miracle Ultimate Clarity Serum with Niasorcinol that repairs skin up to 10 layers deep and fades dark spots.
