Unlock the Secrets of Rosacea with Sequential's Cutting-Edge Microbiome Testing

Why Microbiome Testing for Rosacea?
​
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition affecting an estimated 16 million Americans and millions more worldwide, primarily adults over 30 (National Rosacea Society). Characterized by redness, visible blood vessels, and inflammation, rosacea can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life. Research suggests that the skin microbiome plays a crucial role in the development and severity of rosacea. Specifically, imbalances in microbial populations, such as an overgrowth of Demodex mites or harmful bacteria, can exacerbate symptoms.

In vivo testing of skincare products for rosacea is essential to ensure that formulations are compatible with the unique microbiome of rosacea-prone skin. Such testing allows researchers to observe real-world effects on microbial balance and inflammation, ensuring that products do not unintentionally worsen symptoms. Without this careful testing, products may disrupt the microbiome further, leading to increased redness, irritation, or flare-ups.

Sequential is leading the way in microbiome testing for the industry. With a specialized focus on skin conditions, we have developed an innovative solution tailored to help you understand the root causes of rosacea at the microbial level. Our proprietary sequencing panel is designed specifically to offer in-depth analysis of rosacea-associated microbiota, giving you the tools to transform skincare solutions.

Customized Analysis

Tailored insights specific to rosacea-prone skin, allowing your R&D team to develop more personalized and effective products.

Actionable Data

Leverage detailed reports to guide formulation decisions and validate product efficacy with precision.

Product Innovation

New rosacea treatments or enhancing existing lines, our data helps you create targeted solutions with proven results.

Precision Sequencing

Target specific microbial communities associated with rosacea development and severity.

Smart Probes

Our dedicated team of scientists has developed a revolutionary method for evaluating microbes through our Smart Probes™, a proprietary panel that includes 23 key microbes specifically identified as having the most significant impact on skin health. To further understand the complex relationship between rosacea and the skin microbiome, we utilize qPCR technology. This advanced method allows us to accurately quantify microbial populations on the skin, offering deeper insights into how rosacea affects the balance of beneficial and harmful microbes. By closely monitoring how skincare products interact with these microbes, companies can develop solutions that not only target rosacea symptoms but also help restore a healthier, balanced skin microbiome, providing long-term relief for sufferers.

Rosacea Panel Targets

Demodex mites (Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis)

​

These tiny mites are normally present on the skin but are often found in higher numbers on the skin of individuals with rosacea. Their presence is thought to trigger inflammatory responses.​

Bacillus oleronius

This bacterium has been linked to rosacea, particularly in relation to the inflammatory response associated with the condition. It is often found in higher quantities on the skin of rosacea patients.

Helicobacter pylori

Although not a skin microbe per se, this bacterium, commonly associated with gastrointestinal issues, has been implicated in some studies as a potential contributor to rosacea flare-ups or exacerbations.

Industry Leader in Absolute Quantification

Sequential’s Smart Probe qPCR approach to microbiome analysis can resolve species and subspecies, giving statistically significant findings between skin conditions on in vivo human samples, compared to conventional sequencing approaches.
