You've been told everything's normal. Your skin says otherwise.
Here's the thing: "normal" labs only check the basics. The Acne Lab Panel reads 100+ root-cause markers across your blood, minerals, iodine & gut, so you finally see what's actually driving your breakouts.
Have you heard any of these?
And despite taking the meds, changing your diet, stacking the supplements, you're still:
- dealing with constant breakouts
- as confused as ever about why your skin is like this
- frustrated, overwhelmed & honestly..... over it
Then it's time to look deeper.
Let's be honest about what you've already spent
The Acne Lab Panel is the spend that finally gives you answers.
So what's actually been missing?
Depth. And the experience to read it.
A standard work-up
- A look at your skin
- Maybe some basic bloodwork
- Surface-level markers only
- Results that leave you confused & hopeless
The Acne Lab Panel
- Blood, minerals, iodine & gut testing
- Assessing at a cellular level
- Interpreted by licensed clinicians who specialize in chronic skin issues
- Goes beyond basic level skin assessments
There's a difference between getting tested & getting understood.
We've spent over a decade specializing in chronic skin specifically: acne, eczema, psoriasis, HS, KP & hives. We've analyzed thousands of these exact panels & have a team of licensed clinicians providing the results analysis. We know the patterns that show up again & again in skin warriors because we've seen them for years. Your results don't just sit on a page you download. They get read by experts who've seen your pattern before & know exactly what you need to focus on.
"But what if it just shows me the same stuff?"
We hear you there. You've paid for tests before & seen results that didn't move the needle, so why would this be any different? Here's why: most of what you've already run looks at the surface, your hormones, blood sugar, maybe a gut test. We go a layer underneath those things, to what's actually driving them in the first place, the part almost no one tests for. So you finally see the deepest drivers of your skin symptoms.
This acne labs panel is for you if:
✓ You're dealing with persistent acne despite "trying everything"
✓ You want a second set of eyes after your doctors said "everything's normal," but your skin isn't acting normal
✓ You've had basic tests done & still struggle, & want a deeper look
✓ You've been told it's "hormonal acne" & you want a real root-cause read on it
✓ You've tried countless topicals, diets & supplements without lasting results
✓ You want to understand your skin biology before investing in more treatments or 1-on-1 support
✓ You're skin-curious & you already know your skin reflects what's happening inside
What you get
- 100+ functional markers across blood, minerals, iodine & gut
- All test kits + prepaid shipping labels sent to you
- A full PDF of your results
- A video analysis from our clinical team explaining every "off" marker & how it ties to your skin
- HSA/FSA eligible
- Full cost credits toward Premier if you decide you want a plan
What sets our lab panel apart?
We don't settle for the standard acne work-up. This panel layers in advanced functional testing & the latest acne research, the markers that actually matter & usually get skipped. Four systems, one complete picture:
Comprehensive Blood Labs+
Your blood tells the story behind the biochemical, inflammatory, nutritional & hormonal factors feeding acne. This panel goes deep on nutrient status, thyroid, full iron recycling & hormones.
This Acne Blood Panel includes:
- CMP & CBC with Diff
- Detailed Vitamin D Screening (1,25 and 25OH) & Vitamin A
- Copper, Zinc & Ceruloplasmin
- Iron Panel: Serum Iron, TIBC, Transferrin, % Saturation, Ferritin
- Insulin & Hemoglobin A1c
- Full cholesterol panel
- Full thyroid panel (TSH, Free T4, Free T3, TPO & TG antibodies)
- Acne Hormone Assessment: Total & Free Testosterone, SHBG, DHEA-s, IGF-1
- Acne Immune Markers: Complement C3 & C4
Blood labs are completed at a Labcorp (please confirm you have one near you that you're willing to drive to, we can't accommodate Quest). We can't order blood labs for residents of NY, NJ or RI.
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)+
A clear picture of your mineral & heavy-metal balance over time. Minerals run the systems underneath your skin: how you make & signal hormones, detox metals & excess hormones, make energy, absorb nutrients, handle stress, & use your thyroid hormone. All of it ties back to your skin.
Completed conveniently at home.
Loaded Iodine Test+
Iodine influences skin, hormones, the thyroid & more. This test measures your levels before & after a single dose, showing both deficiency & how well your body absorbs & uses iodine. Completed conveniently at home.
Gut Health, GI MAP Stool Test Included in PLUS+
The gut-skin connection is the piece almost every client wants, & it's included in the Acne Lab Panel PLUS. Completed at home, it tests:
- Pathogens (bacteria, yeast, viruses & parasites)
- H. Pylori
- Beneficial & SCFA-feeding bacteria (important for healthy skin)
- Specific gut pathogens associated with skin issues
- Digestive enzyme & fat digestion markers
- Immune reactivity & inflammation markers
- Estrogen detox marker
This tells us whether your gut integrity, immune modulation, microbiome & more are impacting your skin.

Acne Lab Panel FAQ’s
-
The Acne Lab Panels are for adults 18+. For teens, we recommend our jumpstart program + mineral test panel.
-
You can upgrade to the Acne Lab PLUS panel to include the GI MAP here.
-
The labs must be completed within 3 months of purchase.
-
Yes, this panel is eligible for payment through HSA/FSA accounts. However, please note: we cannot guarantee your card issuer will cover approve coverage. Our end is fully coded & approved, but the card issuer has the liberty and authority to decline any payment just as they would with any type of credit card. We cannot provide a medical diagnosis or letter of necessity for medical treatment. We do not accept traditional insurance.
-
If you reside in these states, please email us at robyn@nutritionbyrobyn for options.
This panel cannot be ordered if you live outside of the United States.
-
Yes. These labs also offer invaluable insights for other skin conditions such as rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, and HS. We would encourage these lab panels for other skin concerns. In fact, we typically do order these labs for our 1-1 clients with non-acne skin concerns.
-
This test does NOT include treatment recommendations or protocols. These tests are only intended to provide test results with an explanation of what they mean. If you are looking for more support and a personalized plan after you get test results, we can support you further in our 1-1 membership. After you receive your video analysis, you’ll have 14 days to apply the cost of this panel to a 1-1 program for a personalized treatment plan & support.
-
Blood labs must be done at a lab corp: please check here to confirm you have a lab corp near that you are willing to drive to. We cannot accommodate Quest Labs.
-
We would recommend waiting to complete this panel until you’re 6 months or more postpartum. Completing this while nursing is absolutely encouraged.
-
Yes - you can complete this if on any acne medication (including accutane, spironolactone, birth control, antibiotics or any others). You’ll be sent a form to complete and ask that you note any medications you’re on so we can keep that in consideration when providing your analysis. The medications won’t “falsify” results but they can impact results. For example, accutane may show a higher vitamin A that your natural level and spironolactone may explain a really low HTMA potassium level. Again, these aren’t “false” results, it’s just how these meds impact your biochemistry & nutrient status.
-
If you had an HTMA in the last 60 days, please use code “nohtma” at checkout to remove the HTMA test.
-
Once you place your order, you’ll have kits and requisition forms arriving within 7 days. Once you ship your kits back and complete your blood draw, it takes 14-20 days for ALL labs to get back to us. If you complete your labs ASAP, the process takes about 3 weeks.
-
For the Hair Tissue Mineral Test, we’d recommend you wait 6-8 weeks before collecting your hair sample for optimal results. All lab instructions will be sent after purchase. You have up to 3 months to complete the labs. The HTMA requires about a heaping tsp of hair & the collection should be as close to the scalp as possible to get results that asses your mineral status from the last 2-3 months. Here is a sample HTMA test.
-
This panel is only available to residents in the U.S.
