A closer look at your skin
Skin. Genetics. Treatment response.
The test explores factors relevant to sebum production, inflammation, hormone conversion, scarring and response to medicines.
A cheek-swab sample is analysed to produce a report for your healthcare professional.
Supporting an informed treatment discussion
The test complements clinical assessment. It does not diagnose acne on its own or guarantee that a particular treatment will work.

Product information: Fagron Genomics AcneTest (healthcare professional resource).
What does Fagron AcneTest analyse?
Fagron’s current product information describes 60 genetic variations (SNPs) across five categories. These cover genetic factors relevant to acne and the way an individual may respond to treatment.
What can the report contain?
Genetic findings are considered alongside a patient questionnaire. Fagron describes a professional report with individual considerations for topical and oral formulations, including medicines and nutritional options. These are matters for clinical review, not an automatic prescription.
Sample and timing
The test uses an inner-cheek swab. Fagron quotes around two weeks from laboratory receipt. Allow additional time for postage, any sample issues and arranging your consultation.
What is included in the £300 price?
Pharmacist consultation included. Treatment is not included.
The price includes your Fagron genetic test and a pharmacist consultation. Treatments, prescribed medicines and supplements are not included and are charged separately if agreed after review. Shipping is shown at checkout.
The consultation gives you an opportunity to discuss the report, ask questions and consider next steps. There is no requirement to buy a treatment with the test.

AcneTest questions answered
Does AcneTest replace a skin assessment?
No. The report supports a discussion with a healthcare professional. Your symptoms, skin assessment, medical history and previous treatment experience still matter.
Will the test guarantee clear skin?
No. Genetic insights cannot guarantee that a particular treatment will work. Any proposed treatment needs a separate assessment and is not included in the test price.
How much does AcneTest cost in the UK?
AcneTest costs £300 at Compounding Chemist, including a pharmacist consultation. Shipping is shown at checkout. Treatments, medicines and supplements are not included.
Is treatment included in the test price?
No. The price covers the test and pharmacist consultation. Any treatment, prescription medicine or supplement is separate. A consultation does not automatically lead to a prescription.
What should I have ready for the consultation?

How will my genetic information be handled?
