Skin Inc.
Receiving a personalised serum from Skin Inc. is as easy as one-two-three. You begin with a skin identity quiz that starts from the very basics, to your skin concerns, and to your lifestyle choices that may impact your skin. The results would then be formulated to give the experts an idea of which combination of serums are perfect for your skin, before they create your own My Daily Dose. Plus, you get to choose which of the seven colours you would like your bottle to come in!

Cover FX
Cover FX offers a different type of customised experience than you’re probably expecting. Available at Sephora, their Custom Infusion Drops can be added to one of your existing products, elevating it to a potent skincare concoction. Blend it with either your makeup or skincare products, and then apply onto your skin as usual. The four combinations ensure you’re getting a treatment that is especially perfect for your skin, for radiance, anti-ageing, calming, or hydration

Ask Ori
Ask Ori goes skin-deep, and we mean skin-deep. When you order from the site, be prepared to receive not skincare products but a DNA collection set. From there, the company will analyse your genetic makeup that affects your skin, before creating a serum that’s uniquely your own. You can even choose to get nutritional supplements and advice from their wellness consultants if you’re interested in finding out more.

MTM Skincare
MTM realises that everybody’s skin is different, and they seek to provide custom-made products after a consultation and detailed skin analysis. With a series of products aimed to cleanse, tone, and hydrate your skin, you know you’ll be getting a combination best suited for your face. Furthermore, the company has received many accolades with their flagship store in Hong Kong and China, and their Singapore branch will not disappoint.

Bella Marie France
Bella Marie France starts you out with a questionnaire that goes from the fundamentals (age, height and weight) to your lifestyle and your skin concerns. Using DNA testing with laboratories from all around the world, they are able to create a skincare line that’s highly personalised, as well as treatments that would be perfect for your body and your face.

Geneu
Though not based in Singapore (though they do ship to Singapore), Geneu’s personalised skincare has been raved about, and we could not help but to mention it. Select their starter kit that will provide you with an at-home DNA and lifestyle test to send back. Then, a personalised set of skincare serums would be mailed over, that can even be engraved with your name or message of your choice.

The Skin Pharmacy
As its name might suggest, The Skin Pharmacy is actually set up by two pharmacists that promises no artificial preservatives, no alcohol, and no and parabens (out of the list of many). While they have products readily available, you can also ask the skincare specialists to make something personalised, or to customise existing products to be more suitable for your skin. Plus, if you’re unsure of your skin type, you can even do a computerised skin analysis here!

Kiehl’s
While only avaliable on their US site, Kiehl’s offers you a customised skincare routine, which you can then bring to the nearest Kiehl’s outlet to get the products. The short quiz involving your gender, skin type and biggest skin concerns will result in a four to five-step recommended routine. While the products aren’t specially made, the order and combination ensures all your pressing issues are taken care of.

MixNature
As with Geneu, MixNature is not based in Singapore but they do ship to Singapore. Mix a combination of six different ingredients (essential oils, extracts, and activating agents) that can target your different concerns in a variety of products— from face creams to body scrubs to hair masks, and more! Or, choose their ready-made selections if you’re feeling slightly overwhelmed with the choices available.

Get a blend of your very own personalised products that are perfect for your skin.

Gone are the days where you’d have to mix and match products to get a skincare solution perfect for your skin.

Now, the notion of personalising products have hit the market strong and hard, and it’s a trend that’s ready to stay. From tailor-made laptop cases to a custom-blend lipstick, from the idea of modular phones to bespoke jewellery, getting personalised items have become nearly the norm, and your skincare products deserve no less.

As everybody’s skin is different, and everyone has different concerns, it is only natural that getting specially-made products would benefit your skin even more. With these 9 fanntastic brands, find a way to keep your skin sparkling and glowing, and in its perfect condition. These skincare lines range from requiring you to take a quick quiz, to sending an actual DNA sample for the formulation to be created, so you can choose exactly how tailor-made your products are.
