When you sign up for Curology, you’ll complete a questionnaire to capture your skin’s current status. You’ll provide your history, your goals, and photos of your skin so that your assigned provider can help you get started on addressing your skin’s needs. Whether it’s zits, clogged pores, dark spots, firmness, skin texture, or wrinkles that you’re hoping to work through, Curology has a once-a-day cream to help you solve it.

The Curology team is made up of medical providers including dermatologists, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners that are specially trained in dermatology and licensed to practice in your state.

Since Curology creates a custom formula for every skin condition, the ingredients list will vary. But commonly used active ingredients include clindamycin, azelaic acid, tretinoin, niacinamide, zinc pyrithione, tranexamic acid, and metronidazole. Your personalized cream will include 3 of these active ingredients. In addition to the above, Curology has created a base formula that is non-pore-clogging, fragrance-free, has a pH of about 4-5 (will vary per formula), and works well with your customized cream. These inactive ingredients include aloe barbadensis leaf juice, C13-14 isoparaffin, caprylic/capric triglyceride, water, laureth-7, maltodextrin, phenoxyethanol, polyacrylamide, tocopheryl acetate, and triethylene glycol.

It depends! If you’re interested in trying a prescription skincare product like Curology to treat specific skin concerns, we think it’s most worthwhile for people who aren’t already seeing a dermatologist (or who want the convenience of working with a provider online, without making office visits). Insurance does not cover Curology. Depending on your insurance plan and individual coverage, you may find it cheaper than visiting a medical provider in-office. Their 30-day free trial is a great, zero-commitment way to see if the product is right for you– but it should be noted that Curology recommends sticking with the program for at least 90 days before you judge its results.

Curology is a really effective skincare solution for some; not so much for others. Everyone has different skin and different needs, and this product is not a one-size-fits-all solution, however it has proven to be effective for approximately 88% of users.

Curology does allow subscribers to easily cancel online. However, Curology recommends you stick with their product for at least 90 days, and consult with your Curology provider if you’re not happy with your results. They may tweak your formula or recommend you stick with it, since some medications can take months to start showing visible results.

You can order a refill anytime you need it; Curology will invoice and ship a refill to you on request instead of waiting for the next renewal date.

Some individuals who begin using Curology may notice their acne or breakouts getting worse before they improve. This is what’s known as “skin purging,” and is common when starting a new acne-fighting treatment of any sort. Skin purging could last up to several weeks, and if you’re experiencing worsening symptoms, Curology recommends:

• - Using your custom cream every other night for awhile
• - Washing with a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water
• - Avoiding abrasive exfoliants
• - Gently pat your face with a towel and let it finish air drying completely
• - Moisturizing with a lightweight face cream
• - Working with your Curology provider if you need additional guidance

Yes! Your custom Curology formula can be used to treat and prevent breakouts, and once they’ve cleared up, it can help prevent and reduce marks, dark spots, and scarring. Curology recommends continuing to use your cream every day, even after your acne has cleared, to avoid future breakouts and work against the forming of scars and marks, and even fine lines and wrinkles!

Yes, you can. Curology offers a customized cleanser, moisturizers, and body wash that are safe to use with other skincare products. Just be sure to avoid products that contain ingredients that are common irritants (such as alcohol, cetyl acetate, algin, or fragrances) or that may clog your pores (like cocoa butter, carrageenan, isoprols, and more).
