Cordlife Lifestyle Genetic Test: SKIN
Attain flawless complexion with personalised skincare regime
This test analyses an individual’s genetic variation and assesses risk for seven of the most common manifestations, including acne, tanning, and inflammation.
How does genetics affect my skin?
The quality of our skin declines with age due to a slower metabolism, exposure to external factors such as air pollution and UV rays, and the products we use to keep it healthy.
Due to our different genetic makeups, the quality of our skin vary from person to person. This means that even if we are exposed to the same factors on a daily basis, our skin conditions will differ.
The blueprint of your skin is found in your genes. By learning more about your genes, you can understand your skin’s unique characteristics and find the best skincare regime for you.
What will you get with Cordlife SKIN?
Tanning Risk
IRF4 & ASIP
- A gene expression that affects the secretion of tyrosinase and the formation of melanin, respectively, which lead to the risk of skin tanning.
Risk of freckle formation
OCA2 & BNC2
- A gene expression that influences melanin transportation and deposition distribution in the body, respectively, and is linked to freckle formation.
Risk of skin inflammation
RTEL 1
- A gene expression that affects cell lifespan and causes immune deficiency, leading to allergic and inflammatory reactions.
Risk of acne formation
DDB2
- A gene expression that affects androgen levels, leading to increased oil secretion and acne formation.
Antioxidant capacity
GPX1 & SOD2
- A gene expression that affects the skin’s ability to decompose hydrogen peroxide and convert superoxide into harmless substances, which affects the skin’s antioxidant capacity.
Elasticity and anti-wrinkle ability
AHR & MMP1
- AHR affects the ability of MMP1, which in turn controls the body’s ability to degrade collagen. This is closely related to skin elasticity and wrinkle formation.
Moisturising ability
FCN1
- A gene expression that affects the synthesis of one of the most important moisturising factors, elastin, as well as keratinocytes, which have water-holding ability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the science behind Cordlife lifestyle genetic test?
Genes carry genetic information, which is a set of instructions that serve as the body's blueprint. Each individual's characteristics, such as appearance, personality, physique, ability to absorb nutrients, and athletic performance, are influenced not only by genetic factors but also by gene expression. By detecting your own unique gene sequence and locus variation, you can gain a better understanding of your own physical characteristics, allowing you to develop personalised lifestyle habits and health management strategies.
