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, CAP-accredited laboratories that meet rigorous clinical standards used by hospitals and physicians across the U.S.

Clinician Involvement

Clinician reviewed every step of the way

BreakoutLabs acne and hormone tests are processed in CLIA-certified labs and reviewed by a team of licensed healthcare professionals with expertise in skin and endocrine health. Every step — from requisition to results interpretation — is backed by clinical oversight, giving you clear, science-backed answers about the imbalances driving your breakouts.

Results everyone can understand

Your BreakoutLabs results are designed to be both easy to understand and medically actionable. Alongside your personalized insights, you’ll receive a doctor-ready version of your report, formatted the way physicians are used to reviewing lab data. So you can share this with your doctor and use it as a foundation for deeper conversations about your skin and hormone health.

Simple, Accurate Testing validated against traditional methods

Your BreakoutLabs kit relies on dried blood spot and saliva samples — gold-standard collection methods that have been trusted in clinical research for over 30 years. These techniques are validated against traditional lab testing to deliver reliable insights into your hormones and skin health, all from a simple at-home collection.

Clinical Research

BreakoutLabs is committed to advancing the science of skin and hormone health through ongoing research. Our clinical focus is on building evidence around the root causes of acne — including hormones, stress, and nutrient imbalances — and demonstrating the utility of at-home testing in helping people better understand their skin. Guided by the latest clinical and data science best practices, our research aims to close the gap between traditional dermatology and consumer-driven testing.

Consumer Data Protections

Every BreakoutLabs test is backed by the highest standards of data protection. We never sell your information. Your results are encrypted, HIPAA-compliant, and only shared with the clinicians who review your test. For research, we use anonymized, de-identified data on a voluntary basis only. Your skin health is personal and we keep it that way. Check out our full privacy policy for more details.
