Ever since I started using Curology my skin had completely changed, at first I thought it wasn’t going to work especially when I thought my skin was getting worse and then after about 2 weeks my skins did a complete 360! My skin has completely cleared up, and of course I have little pimples here and there but they go away right away and they’re not as bad as they used to be! My skin has felt a lot more hydrated which was very unexpected and a lot more glowy my Doctor was very detailed when she explained what every ingredient was meant for and how they would work, and what products are good and aren’t good for my skin I’m very happy! :)

WHAT A MIRACLE WORKER
All I can say is WOW! I’m so impressed with these products. I been using curology for 6 months now and I have seen a huge difference in my face! It really is a miracle worker! And believe me when I say that I have really sensitive skin. Anything that I apply on my face irritates my face. So if you are reading these reviews thinking if curology is worth the money I say it’s totally worth it! You’ll believe it when you try it out for yourself. And when you do get it and think it’s not going to work for you... it will just give it time to adjust to your skin. So buy this product you will be so glad you did!!

Would definitely recommend!
Honestly like every normal human being a was a little skeptical about starting curology. I had been struggling with acne for 6 years tried everything I could over the counter and never saw a difference. After long consideration I decided to try it as i had already tried everything. The first three months my skin had no change in acne but my face looked smoother than normal so I continued my journey. I started noticing a whole 360 when I got to the 5 month mark. I honestly couldn’t believe it. I no longer would get constant break outs even with make up. I would get the occasional time of the month break out but as soon as I would use the acne patch it would disappear ! I’m 6 month in and honestly I love it! I finally have a clear face and my next journey is getting rid of all the acne scars the stubborn acne left behind. You have to be consistent and give it it’s time. Everyone is different and skin heals at a different pace but definitely recommend !

My Skin Has Been Transformed
The skin evaluation was quick and easy to complete, and even finished off with pictures so my skin would receive exactly what it needed.
The first few days I didn’t even notice a change, but within the next two weeks, I can see the difference. My skin has not been this clear in literal years, even the scarring and hyperpigmentation is healing. I’m literally blown away, I never want to switch again. Curology has saved my skin, for the first time in what feels like forever, I am happy with how I look. I feel pretty even without makeup.

Do not recommend
I wasted money on Curology for close to 9 months and saw no change in my skin. I used the medicated formula religiously, only used their facewash and moisturizer, followed all their instructions, checked in and sent pictures through the website. The dermatologist sent me a slightly stronger version of the same formula after about four months and it still did nothing. I was careful to explain in detail the kind of acne I was experiencing. I finally decided to try a different company and they sent me a completely different formula that began working in less than a week. They also suggested that I may have hormonal acne, something no one had ever mentioned to me before. A trip to my doctor confirmed this and she put me on Spironalactone. Throughout this whole ordeal, Curology never tried to troubleshoot, change my medicated formula, or look into hormonal acne. They just told me to kept buying their formula and that "most people see results in as little as two months, but for some it may take up to a year." That's bullsh** and just a way for them to keep selling you their product. Topical benzicycline will not do anything for hormonal acne, and I have to doubt the qualifications of their dermatologists who would not try to explore other options with people seeking help. Curology gets a lot of buzz on podcasts and social media but they're not worth the hype. I switched to another company and am much happier with the results.

Hi Mila,
We appreciate you letting us know about your concerns! It sounds like you are feeling frustrated with your experience at Curology. Let's see if we can clarify a few things for you.
First, I’d like to share some general information about hormonal acne. It’s true that hormones can certainly contribute to breakouts, but please know that acne is multi-factorial. Hormones do play a part, but so do other factors such as clogged pores and bacteria. Although one may predominate, all acne is caused by a combination of factors. Therefore, treatments that do not affect hormones directly still help hormonal acne to a variable extent. In fact, these treatments are often necessary in order to counteract the multiple factors that combine to create the "perfect storm" that causes acne breakouts.
Second, I want to reassure you that all of the physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants on our team are highly trained dermatology medical providers. They work as part of an interdisciplinary team with board-certified dermatologists. We also use the same well-studied, proven ingredients that in-person dermatologists have been using for years. As a member of Curology, you can reach out to your provider at any point to discuss changes to your formula and/or routine to help control your acne.
With that said, if you do not want to continue with Curology, we completely understand, and you may be better served by an in-person dermatologist. If you need help finding an in-person dermatologist, you can ask your primary care physician or other local healthcare provider for a recommendation, or visit the American Academy of Dermatology site: https://www.aad.org/find-a-derm. We only want what’s best for you!
We hope you find that information helpful. Please message your curology provider if you'd like to discuss this in more detail. 💜

Curology is great…
I couldn't express in words the immense satisfaction I have with Curology. I've been using the products for about three months now. The products are unique, so the customer service. Since you can talk with the dermatologist to adjust what you need, or whatever feels right on your skin is also a very good thing. I've been recommending Curology to my family and friends. I've been very committed to my daily routine since I'm getting excellent results. My skin has been more firm, and my wrinkles have reduced drastically. I used to have some expression lines in between my eyebrows that are almost gone now. I have no complaints at all.
