When To Test

Results may change depending on the application of skincare products and any washing on the sample collection area, especially over time. Here are the suggested scenarios to test the current state of:

Test Type When To Test
Baseline (product-free innate skin antioxidant level) Wash and do not apply skincare products before bed, then collect samples after waking and washing.
Application (product-applied skin antioxidant level) Collect samples after 4 hours of applying skincare product(s).
A Tailored For You (accessed online) Personalized test types can be performed along with skincare product recommendations from an analysis report by inputting your SKINTELLI antioxidant test results at https://skintelli.com/register

Your Antioxidant Score is the color intensity number of the “Test Sample” minus the color intensity of the “Control Sample”. For example, if the “Test Sample” is 4 and Control Sample” is 1, your Antioxidant Score is 3.
