Photo reviews
Photos and experiences shared by contributors. Read below how we check submissions.
How reviews and confirmations work
We ask contributors to share a photo they took and their own experience. Reviews go through automated checks. Flagged reviews can be assessed manually. Approval is not a guarantee that a photo is unedited or free of AI generation.
- Email address confirmed means the link sent to that address was used. It does not prove a purchase or the identity of a person.
- Company management confirmed relates to access to this company page. A paid plan does not verify individual reviews.
- A review invitation does not independently prove a purchase. An order reference supplied by a company is not independent purchase verification either.
- Publishing a photo with a review does not automatically permit reuse in marketing. A subscription does not grant that permission either.

Ancestry, Wellbeing, and combined kits
Living DNA positions itself in the mid-to-premium segment of the consumer DNA testing market, targeting individuals curious about their ethnic origins, family history, and genetic health markers. The company is privately owned and founded by David and Hannah Nicholson, with a stated philosophy of delivering complex genetic science in an accessible and straightforward way. A notable differentiator is the claimed level of regional detail, particularly for African ancestry and the British Isles, which the company states surpasses competitors by a significant margin. Privacy is presented as a core value, with a policy of never sharing DNA data without explicit customer consent.
