What the Acne Health Skin Care test is for
Prescription acne treatment can bring a new kind of uncertainty. You want clearer skin, but you also want objective reassurance that your body is tolerating the medication as expected. This home blood test is designed for people taking prescription acne medicines such as isotretinoin (Roaccutane), bringing together the key blood checks clinicians commonly monitor during treatment into one clear view.
Using a home test kit for testing from home, this panel looks at patterns that can change during a course of treatment, particularly blood fats, liver markers, and blood cell counts. It includes a full cholesterol (lipid) profile, including measures such as LDL, HDL and triglycerides, so you can see whether your lipid levels are staying stable or drifting in a way that may need follow-up. It also assesses liver function with markers such as ALT, bilirubin, ALP, GGT, albumin and total protein, which helps build a practical picture of how your liver is responding while you remain on medication.
A full blood count adds broader clinical context by measuring red cells, white cells and platelets. This supports routine health monitoring and can highlight shifts that may warrant a repeat test or a discussion with your prescriber. Taken together, the results help you understand whether values are within expected ranges for treatment monitoring, whether there is a gradual trend worth watching, or whether something has moved enough to justify reviewing timing, dose, or next steps. This is not about searching for problems. It is about keeping your plan organised, evidence-led, and under control.

Cholesterol is a fatty substance known as a lipid and is vital for the normal functioning of the body. It's mainly made by the liver, but can also be found in some foods.
Having a high cholesterol level, associated with a high amount of fats in your blood (hyperlipidaemia) can be detrimental to your health. There is evidence that having high cholesterol increases your risk from cardiovascular diseases and associated death. It's also important to consider the ratio of 'Good' and 'Bad' cholesterol.
