Anake is a homegrown skincare-tech brand founded last year in 2020. It has a flagship store in Wisma Atria, which stocks the DNA test kit, skincare products, skincare devices, and facial treatment rooms.

Anake was founded by two ladies, namely a 29-year-old wellness-driven Anna Melman and a 33-year-old retail-driven Liron Shalev. The brand’s name, Anake, signifies necessity – a nod to the brand’s emphasis for clarity in skin health.

How does the DNA testing go? We were, too, worried that it requires a trip to the hospital or laboratory. Turns out, it quite simple. Here’s a breakdown of the process:

• You buy a DNA test kit on Anake’s website, it gets delivered to your place
• You register your kit online, and swab the insides of your cheeks. Anake team picks it up from you
• Off it goes to the laboratory
• You receive results two weeks later. You have the option to book an in-person session at Anake’s Wisma Atria flagship store for a staff member to break down your results for you

These are lifelong results that tell you what your hard-wired skin type is (the skin your momma and dad gave you genetically). It doesn’t reflect the seasonal changes of your skin due to environmental factors due to stress or air conditioning etc. However, the results will give you a clue to how you should be dealing with your skin problems.

So, what will you see in your DNA test skin report? Physical attributes that you’re genetically more likely to get, such as wrinkles, pigmentation, firmness, sun damage, sensitivity, and more. You will even receive a list of skincare ingredients you should look out for (that will help your skin).

So, if you’re on the Anake website trying to find the $99 promo, we found it for you. You’ll need to add the full-priced $299 DNA test kit to your cart first. When you review your cart, you’ll then see the promo price (pictured above).

Now, if you’re interested to try this DNA test out, do remember that this $99 promotion is only valid from Aug 1 to 9.
