A 50-marker blood panel covering hormones, thyroid, inflammation, iron, liver, kidney and vitamin levels that can influence skin condition. Suited to anyone investigating persistent skin issues such as breakouts or dryness.
50 biomarkers as listed by Medichecks.
The Skin IQ test measures 50 markers across several groups: adrenal and sex hormones (including cortisol, testosterone, oestradiol, FSH and LH), thyroid hormones, iron status, liver and kidney function, inflammation (hs-CRP), blood sugar control (HbA1c), omega-3 status, key vitamins (B12, folate, vitamin D) and a full blood count. Hormonal, inflammatory and nutritional imbalances are commonly linked to changes in skin condition, so a panel this wide can help build a picture of what might be affecting your skin, alongside your normal skincare routine and any advice from a GP or dermatologist.
Medichecks does not list a directly comparable panel in our data, so we cannot say how the price or depth compares with rival tests. Within our own men's health category, though, its 50 markers place it in the top bracket for clinical depth, and the test itself is open to both men and women despite that category label.
It scores well on clarity, since the listing sets out the sample type, collection options and turnaround clearly, and on trust signals, given Medichecks' Trustpilot rating and standard doctor review. It loses marks on collection convenience because there is no at-home finger-prick option: you need a venous draw at a clinic or a home nurse visit, and results take around 16 days.
This suits you if you're dealing with ongoing skin changes, such as breakouts or dryness, and want to check whether hormone levels, inflammation, iron or vitamin status could be a factor, alongside your normal skincare routine and any advice from a GP or dermatologist. It's open to both men and women, despite sitting in our men's health category.
Because Medichecks doesn't list a smaller, cheaper alternative aimed specifically at skin health, this is really a choice between running the full 50-marker panel or picking narrower, cheaper tests for individual areas such as thyroid or vitamin D if you only want to check one thing.
This is a blood test. You can have your sample taken at a Medichecks clinic, by a home nurse visit, or via a venous draw at a clinic; there is no at-home finger-prick option for this panel. Once the lab processes the sample, a doctor reviews the results as part of the standard service, and the report is typically ready in around 16 days.
This £249 panel checks 50 markers across hormones, thyroid, iron, liver and kidney function, inflammation and vitamin levels, more than most tests in our men's health category. There's no directly comparable test listed to benchmark the price against, and it needs a clinic visit or home nurse call-out rather than a simple finger-prick kit, with results back in around 16 days.
The listing publishes a short description, the full biomarker list, a stated turnaround, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state what the report looks like.
50 biomarkers, placing it in the 100th percentile of mens health tests we track.
A blood sample taken at home by a visiting nurse or phlebotomist; with a venous or clinic option as well; a home nurse visit is offered; results in around 16 days, slower than similar tests.

One of the deepest men's health panels we track
A 21-marker blood test covering testosterone, cholesterol, liver health, inflammation and vitamin D, for men wanting a broad check on long-term health risk.
PSA test priced at the group's £59 median
A single blood test measuring prostate specific antigen (PSA), a marker commonly used to help assess prostate cancer risk. Suited to men aged 45 and over, or 40 and over if at higher risk, as part of regular monitoring.
Cheaper than most PSA tests we track, but not the cheapest
Measures PSA, a protein produced by the prostate, commonly used to assess prostate health. Suited to those in a higher-risk group by age, ethnicity or family history.
Focused 12-marker panel for men's sexual health factors
A 12-marker blood test for men, covering testosterone, cholesterol and blood sugar, markers commonly linked to erectile function. Suits men who want blood test context around erection or libido changes, alongside advice from a GP.
