Clinical-grade testing, reimagined for everyday life

At BreakoutLabs, we believe acne isn’t just skin-deep. Behind every breakout lies a set of internal signals hormones, stress markers, nutrient levels, that skincare products can’t reveal. Our mission is simple: make it easy for anyone to uncover their acne’s true root causes with clinically validated, at-home testing. We’re here to end the cycle of trial-and-error skincare and replace it with clarity, data, and personalized next steps.

Your health deserves the highest standards. That’s why every BreakoutLabs kit is processed in CLIA-certified, that meet rigorous clinical standards used by hospitals and physicians across the U.S.
