HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Skinticity by Douglas Laboratories
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Partial disclosure
Skinticity contains 6 active ingredients. It features two omega-3 fatty acids — eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) — from an ultra-pure omega-3 fish oil concentrate, along with avocado oil, lutein (a compound that concentrates in your eyes and skin), pomegranate seed oil, and organic cold-pressed extra virgin Tunisian olive oil.
The product also contains inactive ingredients including gelatin, safflower oil, silica, and vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopherol), which serve as capsule material and preservative.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for Skinticity's ingredients is mixed and incomplete. Avocado oil is possibly effective for high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia), but there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate it for metabolic syndrome, aging skin, or obesity.
Lutein is possibly effective for age-related macular degeneration and cataracts, but research suggests it's not effective for retinitis pigmentosa or several other conditions. Pomegranate seed oil is possibly effective for high blood pressure but possibly ineffective for high cholesterol and diabetes.
Olive oil has insufficient evidence for osteoporosis, GERD, exercise-related respiratory infections, shingles, flu, and osteoarthritis. We hold no effectiveness data for the omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) in the form presented here.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Avocado oil is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth in research settings, though it's rarely caused severe allergic reactions in people with latex sensitivity and a rare food hypersensitivity reaction called FPIES (characterized by vomiting and diarrhea within 1–4 hours). Lutein from food and typical supplement doses is generally considered safe; doses up to 20 mg daily haven't caused adverse effects in research.
Pomegranate seed oil and fruit are generally well tolerated, though some people experience mild gastrointestinal effects like diarrhea or flatulence. Olive oil as food is very safe; concentrated olive supplements are less studied.
Because concentrated supplements of avocado, olive, and pomegranate have not been well studied in pregnancy, and pomegranate is rated possibly safe, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using Skinticity during pregnancy. Lutein is rated likely safe in pregnancy.
For breastfeeding, there isn't enough data on supplement doses of avocado, olive, or lutein to know for sure — though lutein is naturally present in breast milk. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before breastfeeding while taking this product.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you're on warfarin or other blood thinners, check with your doctor or pharmacist first — both avocado oil and pomegranate seed oil may interfere. If you take blood pressure medications (including ACE inhibitors like lisinopril or enalapril) or rosuvastatin (Crestor), you should also check first, as pomegranate seed oil may increase its effects or drug levels.
Finally, if you take any medication metabolized by the CYP2D6 enzyme system or carbamazepine (Tegretol), confirm it's safe to combine.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glancePartially disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Skinticity might appeal to someone looking to support skin and eye health with omega-3s and antioxidants. However, if you take blood thinners like warfarin, blood pressure medications, ACE inhibitors, statins like rosuvastatin, or any drug metabolized by CYP2D6, you should be extra careful — several ingredients can interact with these medications.
Before you start, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you and your current medications.

Skinticity by Douglas Laboratories Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Skinticity by Douglas Laboratories does interact with medications, primarily through its avocado oil and pomegranate seed oil content.
The most serious documented interaction is a Moderate-severity concern with warfarin (Coumadin), a blood thinner — avocado oil may reduce warfarin's anticoagulant effect, making it less able to prevent clots, though this has been reported in only one case. Pomegranate seed oil also carries a Moderate interaction with warfarin that could theoretically increase bleeding risk, as well as several other Moderate concerns.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Pomegranate seed oil interacts with antihypertensive drugs (blood pressure medications) and ACE inhibitors (another type of blood pressure drug) — in both cases, the risk is a drop in blood pressure below what you need. It also affects how your body metabolizes certain medications through the CYP2D6 enzyme system, which could raise drug levels; this applies to rosuvastatin (Crestor) in particular, where one case report documented severe muscle breakdown after combining the statin with pomegranate juice.
Additionally, pomegranate interacts with drugs broken down by the CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 enzyme systems (Minor severity), and theoretically with carbamazepine (Tegretol), an antiseizure medication.
We could not check two ingredients — eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) — because we hold no interaction data for them. The proprietary blend and ultra-pure omega-3 fish oil concentrate are groups; their component ingredients are listed separately.
Lutein and olive oil have no interactions documented in our data.
Altogether, these interactions span 923 individual medications. Before you start Skinticity, run your exact medications through the search tool on this page or check with your doctor or pharmacist.

For each ingredient in Skinticity with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Pomegranate seed oil
Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)
Theoretically, taking pomegranate with ACEIs might increase the risk of adverse effects.
Pomegranate juice is thought to have ACE inhibitor-like effects.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, taking pomegranate with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Consuming pomegranate juice can modestly lower blood pressure.
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates
Theoretically, pomegranate might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
In vitro, pomegranate juice inhibits CYP2D6. However, the clinical significance of this potential interaction in humans is not known.
Rosuvastatin (Crestor)
Theoretically, taking pomegranate with rosuvastatin might increase the risk of adverse effects.
In one case, a patient taking rosuvastatin 5 mg every other day in combination with ezetimibe 10 mg daily developed rhabdomyolysis after drinking pomegranate juice 200 mL twice weekly for 3 weeks. This patient had a history of elevated creatine kinase levels while not receiving any statin treatment. This suggests a possible underlying myopathy and predisposition to rhabdomyolysis.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Theoretically, pomegranate might increase warfarin levels and increase the risk of bleeding. Also, discontinuing regular consumption of pomegranate juice might decrease warfarin levels.
In one case report, a patient had a stable, therapeutic bleeding time, as measured by international normalized ratio (INR), while taking warfarin in combination with pomegranate juice 2-3 times per week. The patient became subtherapeutic within about 10 days after discontinuing pomegranate juice, which required a warfarin dose increase. In another case report, a patient with a stable INR for over one year presented with an INR of 14. The patient noted no changes to medications or diet but did report consuming around 3 liters of pomegranate juice over the previous week. The patient's INR stabilized upon moderation of pomegranate juice consumption. The mechanism of this potential interaction is unclear.
Carbamazepine (Tegretol)
Theoretically, taking pomegranate with carbamazepine might increase the risk of adverse effects, although research suggests this interaction is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Animal research shows that pomegranate juice may inhibit cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) metabolism of carbamazepine and increase levels of carbamazepine by 1.5 times without prolonging the elimination half-life. This suggests that pomegranate juice inhibits intestinal CYP3A4, but might not inhibit hepatic CYP3A4. However, some human research suggests that pomegranate does not significantly inhibit CYP3A4 drug metabolism in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, pomegranate might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
Some animal and in vitro research shows that pomegranate juice inhibits intestinal, but not hepatic, CYP2C9 isoenzyme activity. However, clinical research shows that neither pomegranate juice nor pomegranate extract have a significant effect on CYP2C9 activity in humans.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, pomegranate might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4, but most research suggests this interaction is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Pomegranate contains several polyphenols that have individually been shown to inhibit CYP3A4. However, there is contradictory evidence about the effect of whole pomegranate juice on CYP3A4 activity. In vitro, pomegranate juice significantly inhibits the CYP3A4 enzyme, with comparable inhibition to grapefruit juice. In an animal model, pomegranate juice inhibits CYP3A4 metabolism of carbamazepine and increases levels of carbamazepine by 1.5 times; however, in human volunteers, drinking a single glass of pomegranate juice 240 mL or taking 200 mL daily for 2 weeks does not significantly affect levels of the CYP3A4 substrate midazolam after oral or intravenous administration. Another study in healthy volunteers shows that consuming pomegranate juice 300 mL three times daily for three days also does not significantly affect levels of simvastatin, a CYP3A4 substrate This suggests that pomegranate is unlikely to significantly affect levels of CYP3A4 substrates in humans.
Tolbutamide (Orinase)
Theoretically, pomegranate might increase levels of tolbutamide, although research suggests this interaction is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Animal research shows that pomegranate juice inhibits the cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) metabolism of tolbutamide. Pomegranate juice increased tolbutamide levels by 1.2 times without prolonging the elimination half-life. This suggests that pomegranate juice inhibits intestinal CYP2C9, but might not inhibit hepatic CYP2C9. Despite this evidence, clinical research shows that neither pomegranate juice nor pomegranate extract have a significant effect on CYP2C9 activity in humans. This interaction does not appear to be clinically significant in humans.
Avocado Oil
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Avocado may antagonize the anticoagulant effects of warfarin.
Avocado may antagonize the anticoagulant effects of warfarin; however, there has been only one case report of this interaction.
