First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This completed pilot study tested whether a fully digital, at-home approach can work for skin health research. Over 1000 adults aged 18 to 65 took self-portraits, answered lifestyle questions, and some collected skin microbiome samples. The goal was to see how efficiently people could complete these tasks remotely, not to test any product or treatment.
