ALLÉL at a Glance
Best For: People who want to know what genetic and biological factors are driving their aging process (and how to counteract these effects).
Why Go with ALLÉL
Did you know that 60% of aging comes down to your genetics? After extensive research into the topic, scientists have discovered that your DNA has a lot more to do with how old your skin looks and feels than the previously thought environmental factors. If that’s the case, the ALLÉL skin care DNA test is a must-have for anyone who wants to look and feel younger every day.
Besides, any product backed by this many doctors and medical professionals has to be exceptional. Truthfully, the ALLÉL lineup is pretty impressive with board-certified dermatologists, professors of molecular cell biology, and surgeons on board. ALLÉL delivers an easy and painless product, fast results, and exhaustive reporting drafted by medical professionals.
What’s on Offer
ALLÉL offers just a single DNA test kit that is meant to test your skin-aging properties. The DNA kit tests for 5 different genetic dispositions for aging. They are:
- Collagen
- Glycation
- Tone
- Antioxidant ability
- Inflammatory response
Collagen tests the physical makeup of your skin. Glycation tells us about your skin’s energy. Tone testing reveals information about your skin’s pigmentation. Antioxidant ability shows how resilient your skin is, and how well it can defend itself against negative forces (overexposure to sun, chemicals, etc.). And inflammatory response measures exactly how sensitive your skin is.
Once all of these elements are tested, the ALLÉL specialists can give you a detailed and in-depth understanding of how your skin works, what really makes it tick, what your propensity toward certain signs of aging is, and how you can effectively override these genetically-programmed responses to time and your environment.
Is ALLÉL Safe and Reliable?
All DNA samples are received anonymously. A number ID is all that anyone in the labs will ever know about the samples they analyze. All ALLÉL labs and tests are accredited by the ISO/IEC standards and reviewed regularly by the Board of Directors Accreditation and Technical Control.
What’s more, all DNA samples are destroyed every 3 months. This is legally required by the EU regulatory board, and frankly, it’s a lot more encouraging than most of the American-based DNA testing services.
How ALLÉL Works
One of the nice things about this DNA kit is that it is 100% painless to administer. In fact, just about anyone can do it, and you can do it even on a child or infant. Here’s how to use the ALLÉL DNA kit:
- Order the kit online, and register your generic ID number on the website. This is how ALLÉL identifies you, since no personal identifying information is shared.
- Next, you’ll take the sample. To collect your DNA sample, you’ll take what’s known as a buccal swab. Using the soft, cotton swab that comes in your kit, you’ll rub the inside of your cheek. That’s all you need to do to collect your DNA sample. It’s easily one of the simplest and most non-invasive testing methods out there.
- Now, put the DNA sample into the tube provided by ALLÉL and ship it back to the lab to be tested.
It’s a quick and non-invasive method that delivers fast results.
Speed of Kit Delivery and Results
Once you've placed an order for an ALLÉL DNA kit online, you can expect it to arrive within a few days. ALLÉL doesn’t offer overnight expedited shipping, but these aren’t life-threatening test results, so it’s probably ok to wait the few days it takes to ship regular mail.
Once ALLÉL receives your DNA sample, it'll be analyzed for the 16 genetic markers (broken down into the 5 categories we discussed above). The results are available in a few days (2-5). The best part is that you get a personal consultation with a professional skin care specialist. So, you walk away with a personalized skin care treatment program based on your genetics.

ALLÉLPricing
How Much Does ALLÉL Cost?
ALLÉL makes pricing extremely simple. You can order the DNA kit and personal analysis for $149. This is comparable to other DNA at-home testing kits. You could technically order one part or the other individually, but it really doesn’t make sense. After all, what good are DNA test results if you can’t understand what any of it means, or get the practical application of what to do next?
Bottom Line
The ALLÉL DNA test kit and personal assessment is breaking ground in the world of skin care. The research that's gone into these programs is incredibly extensive, and all results are well-thought out. The ALLÉL tests are non-invasive, easy to use, and deliver fast results.
What seals the deal though, is the personal assessment and private consultation with a professional skin care specialist. This isn't something you'll find in other companies’ offerings. It gives clients a totally unique treatment program just for them.
