Parallel's Skin Microbiome Discovery Kit allows you to understand your skin health and age to support clarity and better aging. Parallel uses the most advanced sequencing technology available today. This kit contains four swabs and two oil strips to test different areas of your facial skin microbiome.

We also identify bacterial overgrowth associated with acne-prone and eczema-prone skin, along with imbalances associated with other skin issues correlated with melasma, rosacea, psoriasis, and hidradenitis suppurativa. By understanding your skin microbiome, you can choose the right products at the right time. Conducting the test is easy, requiring less than a minute. Video tutorials and step-by-step instructions available with every kit. Results provided within 2-3 weeks.10-min consultation with Parallel physician included.

Dr. Shankar is the best!

Dr. Shankar is the best!!! I've had a skin condition for years that has been difficult to treat with antibiotics, and I really appreciated how knowledgeable and honest he was about my best treatment options. I felt like he was really there to help me, and I never felt pressured into a purchase (although, I did end up making one lol)

Stop wasting your time and get this!!

SKIN TEST: The swabbing process itself was user-friendly with clear instructions and only took a few minutes at home.

SKIN ANALYSIS: I found the skin health report to be super interesting and appreciated that Dr. Shankar walked me through my results so I could understand my skin better. I don't know of any other company that offers free 1:1 consultations with a physician.

SERUM: Just started using my phage serum (I'm #1 Phoenix for C. acnes bacteria) and it got rid of stubborn acne on my forehead that I've had for years!! Honestly would reach for this over a pimple patch. It's my go-to serum now.

Delphinus for dry skin

I used the MD03 test for my dry, flaky skin and found that I had too much Staphylococcus growing on my face. When I got my Delphinus serum, I thought the packaging was really beautiful just like the kit. When I used the serum, I think it boosted my skin moisturization, because my skin looked much smoother with less flaky skin. Since it worked well on my face, I tried it on my calves, which get extremely dry in the winter, and it soothed the dry itchy skin on my calves right away. I think the test took a lot of the guesswork out of finding a solution for my dry skin.

Great Skin Health Report and Product

The generated skin health report is super informative. I love using the serum because I know that it's personalized to my skin microbiome type, and I've already started to notice improvements in my skin texture and a reduced pore size!

Incredible Insight

The skin health report that is given from taking the Skin Discovery Test was so informative. Being able to learn what is actually living on my face and was causing my face to breakout on my forehead and temples was extremely helpful. Helpful because not only is this a diagnosis, but Parallel also provides a solution too! That comes in the form of a serum, and I was given the Phoenix serum which has helped my acne a lot.
