The problem

Acne care was never built
to find the cause.

It was built to suppress the symptom. That is exactly why it comes back the moment you stop.

How acne care works today
A dermatologist looks at your skin, never at your bloodwork
Prescriptions that work until the day you stop taking them
Supplements picked from a TikTok, not from your labs
A six-month wait for a fifteen-minute appointment
Told your labs look "normal" and sent home
How BreakoutLabs works
Twelve markers map what is actually driving your skin
A plan built from your own values, so the progress holds
Only the supplements your markers say you need
Weekly specialist calls, and Clara at any hour
Normal is not optimal. We read yours specifically for skin

What we measure

Four systems drive almost
every stubborn breakout.

Your panel reads them together, as one system, rather than one marker at a time.

Hormones
Hormones

Testosterone, DHEA-S, SHBG

The drivers behind jawline and chin breakouts that track with your cycle.

Metabolism
Metabolism

Insulin, A1C, glucose

Blood sugar pressure that pushes oil production and inflammation upward.

Nutrients

Vitamin D, zinc, and more

Deficiencies that quietly stall skin repair no matter what you apply.

Stress

Why a hard week at work shows up on your face ten days later.

Before you ask

The four things
everyone wants to know.

Is this FDA approved?

No, and it would not be. This is a diagnostic blood test, not a drug. Your sample is analyzed by a CLIA-certified laboratory, the same standard your doctor's lab work is held to.

Why not just ask my doctor for a blood test?

You can. Most panels are not ordered with skin in mind, they are read against generic reference ranges, and nobody translates them into what to eat or which supplement to take. We do all three.

Do I need a prescription?

No, and that is the point. You collect at home in about two minutes and send it back in the prepaid mailer.

What if my results differ from someone else's?

They will, and that is why this works. Your Blueprint is built from your markers, so two people with the same breakouts can get completely different plans.

Questions

We've got answers

What if I've already tried prescriptions?

Prescriptions target the breakout, not what keeps causing it. If your acne returns after every round of treatment, that is usually a sign the driver was never addressed. Your panel looks for it directly.

What if I've been tested before and everything came back normal?

Standard labs use generic reference ranges, and normal is not the same as optimal for your skin. We interpret your levels specifically against what is known about acne, which is a different question than the one your last panel was answering.

Can I use this with my dermatologist?

Yes. Your report includes your actual lab values, so you can bring it straight in. Most acne appointments never involve bloodwork at all, so you will be handing them something they did not have.

What's included in the $599 year?

Your first 12-marker kit, your Clear Skin Blueprint, twelve months of membership with Ask Clara and weekly specialist calls, one free retest at six months, member pricing on supplements, and the 90-day guarantee.

When exactly is my free retest?

Six months from the day you join. We notify you when it unlocks and ship it on request, so you choose the timing that suits you.

What if it doesn't work for me?

You are covered by our 90-day money-back guarantee. Fewer than 1% of customers ever use it. After 90 days, refunds on the annual membership are prorated for the remainder of your term.

Is this HSA/FSA eligible?

Yes, on both the test and the membership. We provide documentation for eligible expenses so reimbursement is straightforward to submit.

Do I have to buy anything to join free?

No. The free membership takes about three minutes, needs no card, and gives you an account, a profile, and somewhere to keep bloodwork you already have. Upgrade whenever you are ready.
