My acne journey has been a rollercoaster, to say the least. After a decade of trial and error, countless doctor appointments, and viral skincare products, I was so frustrated with waking up with red pimples day after day. It felt like me against my breakouts for the longest time, and it was exhausting.
That's until I discovered Nurx's acne treatment. Nurx is an online telemedicine company that offers prescriptions for things like acne medication—all from the comfort of your own home!
Let me tell you why it’s my new skincare bestie:
1. Nurx Takes Insurance, Unlike Other Telemedicine Companies
Nurx takes insurance! 🎉 This is the biggest game-changer of all, because who has hundreds of dollars to spend per month on an out-of-pocket prescription acne treatment? The hefty price of dermatologist visits, prescriptions, and maintenance costs without the help of insurance is a significant cost barrier for me.
But with Nurx, it's a breeze. They handle billing my insurance for prescription medications, so I can just focus on treating my skin. 🙌 You’ll pay $40 out-of-pocket for your medical consultation, (which covers unlimited follow-ups for the year), but Nurx accepts most FSA and HSA cards. Plus, their team can help with submitting information to your insurance company for potential reimbursement, so you’ll never feel alone throughout the process!
Your prescribed treatment may cost as low as $0 with insurance or $15-40 per month without, depending. No more expensive or impossible-to-afford topical prescriptions!
2. Nurx is Friendly for My Skin AND My Wallet
You know that sinking feeling when a dermatologist suggests treatment and it's way over your budget? That's what happened to me once: a prescription that I couldn't afford, to the tune of $500. I was back to square one, no treatment, no answers, just more acne.
But Nurx doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Their out-of-pocket prices start at just $15 per month, and let me tell you, my skin (and my wallet) have never been happier. 💰
Nurx can prescribe medications like clindamycin, BenzaClin, tretinoin, and minocycline, so not only is Nurx a great value, but they offer variety, too.
3. My Treatment is Delivered Straight to My Door
With Nurx, I don't need to carve out time from my busy schedule for doctor's appointments or pharmacy runs. My tailored acne treatment comes right to my doorstep. More time doing me, less time worrying about making time for in-office appointments. 📬
I will say the ordering process took a bit of time, but I had so many questions, and the Nurx team wanted to pair me with the right treatment, so patience is key here!
4. Nurx has an Expert Dermatologist Squad
Ever played a game of cat and mouse with a dermatologist's office? It's no fun. Calling them repeatedly for answers, treatment questions, and routine questions, it felt like they were always out of reach. That changed with Nurx. Their dermatologist-led medical team is always there for me.
You can text, email, or chat with them via the Nurx app. And let me tell you, they’re THERE FOR YOU. I had so many questions and doubts about the best route to go, and the Nurx team answered every single question. I felt supported and heard. No more games, just clear skin and answers! 💬
5. So. Many. Treatment. Options.
What I love about Nurx is the variety of treatments they offer. They've got it all covered, from mild acne to hormonal acne to body acne. It's like having a skincare buffet right at my fingertips! 🌟 You can even pair your prescription acne medication with other over-the-counter staples available right there in the Nurx store. This way, you can get everything you’ll need in your routine.
I was glad to finally receive a tretinoin cream with the right percentage for ME! I’ve ventured into tretinoin before, and my skin felt the pressure of keeping up with a strong formulation, so I was happy to get help to find the right strength for me.
See ya, acne—for real this time
Nurx has seriously turned my acne journey around. It's not just about the convenience or the cost. It's about a solution that actually works! If you've been on the acne rollercoaster like me, give Nurx a try. It might just be the skincare solution you've been waiting for! 💕
