I am giving a two based on the fact I only spent 5 dollars for the free trial to see if it worked for me. I don't have bad acne a few pimples here and there and then mostly uneven textured skin a bit and some redness. The custom formula ruined the skin on my forehead in particular as well as the rest of my face. It make me get a rash very badly and the skin started to peel. So I had an allergic reaction to it. I had to stop it immediately and haven't been able to get it back to normal yet and its been two weeks since. The cleanser and the moisturizer feel nice however I didn't think there was a difference between them and other products I've used. I even told them that I have sensitive skin in the consult and still the formula did not work for me. If you have sensitive skin this product is not for you.

Not worth it.
I don’t have bad acne, I get pimples here and there and blackheads. So I wanted to up my skincare (as I was doing nothing). Took the test and told them I have oily skin. The cleaner leaves my face dry & peeling when I put the moisturizer on (very little) I look like I haven’t washed my face in months by the amount of oil is on my face. Haven’t seen any results with the blackheads. All in all just a waste of money.

I love using Curology!
I love using Curology! They make it easy and simple to use and give suggestions on when would be the best time to use each product. I also really like that they offer other types of products like body wash and sunscreen. Though, i did have some problems with the body wash leaking, it wasn't something that would be a deal breaker for me :) It really feels like the only product that consistently helped my acne.

I will give Curology two stars instead…
I will give Curology two stars instead of one because their actual physical products are pretty good. They are as good or better as what you can get at the store for similar prices for the most part, and of course the prescription creams you cannot get at the store.
I give them two stars for their unethical business practices and customer service. Curology is unfortunately subscription based.
Has the time for these subscription-based services, especially the ones that send you physical products, not come for them to give you some kind of warning, if not actually requiring your permission, to bill and send out products?
If you are a working-class adult, student, or even struggling middle-class person, this is an affordable option for comprehensive skincare - but the catch is that they will relentlessly bill your card when the time comes. It doesn't matter if it takes food out of your or your children's mouths that month, you have too much product, forgot to cancel, want to delay, or any combination of reasons. There is no warning. Just the looming date, on top of everything else a person has to remember, of their billing you to send out more product than you probably need. They, as of this writing, have no option for on-demand ordering. You can only delay it by a month.
I suspect that much of their money is made by billing people for products they do not need by using this model - a similar model to many other unethical subscription-based companies. When they bill you, you do not have a chance to cancel it as they quite literally ship out later that same day and their customer service does not reply to you until the next day or later. Even if you can get ahold of their customer service, the product is compounded in a pharmacy so has no direct connection to the customer service team for them to cancel it.
By the number of people they must bill and who want to delay or cancel the shipment, they could have fixed this long ago with an email warning, giving an on-demand option, having a delay between billing and shipping, or any combination of things to prevent taking money from people who cannot afford it or do not need product - but they have chosen not to.
If you need skincare and cannot afford real in-person dermatology tread carefully here.

Buyer beware
Beware you will get charged without even an emails notice. I put off order for money purposes and next thing you know I saw a charge on my card. I was upset because I didn’t get a warning, like I do with other subscriptions, that my order is about to be charged and shipped. I couldn’t afford it at this time and They did nothing for me. I had to cancel so it couldn’t happen again. I also understand formulas are pre mixed but with a subscription forward society it would be nice to get notifications of upcoming shipments to avoid upset and dissatisfied customers.
