What we test

Acne isn't a skin problem.
It's a biology problem.

Breakouts start inside your body. Every test measures 19 biomarkers across the systems behind acne, with optional add-ons for thyroid, iron and liver & kidney. Analyzed in a CLIA-certified lab.

Parent of 2

As a parent, watching your child struggle with acne is incredibly frustrating… My son had been through what felt like everything—multiple dermatologists, countless prescription creams, antibiotics, expensive skincare routines, and even Accutane. Some things helped temporarily, but nothing seemed to address why the acne kept coming back. By the time we found BreakoutLab, I'll admit I was skeptical. We had already spent thousands of dollars chasing solutions. What made this experience different was that it felt focused on finding potential root causes rather than simply managing symptoms.

“I honestly cried when I read my report. For the first time, I knew WHY my skin was breaking out - high cortisol and low vitamin D. Having answers gave me so much peace of mind, and now my skin and confidence are both improving.”

I have battled with acne for 20 years

I have dealt with acne for about 20 years and have never truly known the reason for my breakouts. I have been in-and-out of dermatologists and have been using random acne products with no results. After doing my bloodwork with Breakoutlabs and understanding the root cause of my acne, I was able to move forward in the right direction to help improve my skin. Rather than purchasing random supplements and skin care products, I knew exactly what I needed.

Worth the try!!

I struggled with acne for years and hated going out in public because I was so self-conscious about my skin. I tried everything—from drugstore products to expensive online treatments—but nothing seemed to work long-term. It wasn't until I found Breakout Labs that I finally started seeing real results.

Worth the try

This has been an amazing experience for me and as I have said-I thank God every day for leading me toward this test kit. It was easy to do, trackable and the results came within 2 weeks. It gives detailed info that you can put into a search to find supplements or products to use.

Honestly I was a bit skeptical

Honestly, I was a bit skeptical after reading some of these reviews, but I realized most of them weren't about the actual science or the product itself they were more about the customer experience. As an entrepreneur, I know firsthand that operations can be a challenge for any business. Regardless, I decided to take the test, waited for my results, and spoke with Brittany, who was an amazing skin specialist. Three weeks in, and my skin has honestly never looked better.

I came across Breakout Lab on Instagram

I came across Breakout Lab on Instagram and I figured I'd give it a go. I always struggled with back acne and acne around my forehead. The test kit had clear instructions and easy to follow. Very personalized experience from start to finish. I'm satisfied and definitely would recommend it if you're dealing with acne.

I've struggled with skin issues for years..

I've struggled with skin issues for years and this was one of the first times I felt like I was getting personalized guidance rather than a one-size-fits-all recommendation. My experience was positive from start to finish, and I'd absolutely recommend giving it a try.
