KutiSwab
user-friendly microbiome sequencing service performed from skin swab samples

Why take a facial skin microbiome test?
  • Deep understanding of your skin – discover the unique composition and balance of microorganisms living on your skin.
  • Personalized skin care – recommendations tailored to your microbiome, not generic advice.
  • Diet and lifestyle insights – understand how daily habits and nutrition affect your skin.
  • Helps restore balance – we detect imbalances (e.g., excess bacteria or fungi) that may cause acne, redness, or sensitivity.
  • Early signal detection – microbiome changes can be noticed earlier than visible skin symptoms.
  • Science-based guidance – recommendations supported by the latest research on the skin microbiota.
  • Gentler, more natural care – microbiome-friendly strategies may reduce the need for excessive products.
  • Your personal journey – track changes in your skin and see how your skincare, diet, or lifestyle choices influence your microbiome.
  • Animal-free and safe – our method contains no animal-derived components and is free from pathogens.
How does the microbiome affect skin conditions?
  • Acne and inflammatory breakouts – imbalance between “good” and “harmful” bacteria can trigger acne.
  • Eczema, redness, and sensitivity – reduced microbial diversity may weaken the skin barrier and increase inflammation.
  • Rosacea – shifts in microbiome composition are linked to hypersensitive immune responses.
  • Fungal infections and seborrheic dermatitis – imbalance can promote the overgrowth of Malassezia fungi.
  • Skin aging – a balanced microbiome supports the skin barrier, reduces oxidative stress, helps retain moisture, and slows wrinkle formation.
