Curology
Curology
I have been using tretinoin (prescription retinoid) on and off for a couple of years. My dermatologist provides me with a prescription in order to obtain this potent skincare product. However, I have to make an appointment with my provider every time I need a refill. That’s inconvenient, especially for just a refill.
That is why I switched over to Curology, because it allows me to get my tretinoin without having to physically go in and see my doctor.
This is not sponsored. One of my favorite skincare youtubers talked about this brand on her channel, and I thought I’d give them a try. I really like this Curology product and I just wanted to share it with you all 🙂
Curology: Customized Skincare
Online Skincare Service:
Curology is customized prescription skincare designed for your specific needs and goals.
- Go online and start an account on their website
- Submit pictures of yourself. These are profile pics for your licensed medical provider
- Answer some skincare and medical questions to address your specific concerns
- A health care provider will be assigned to you
- You will provided with a personalized treatment plan
- Then your prescription will arrive in the mail
As you can see from the pictures below, the packaging is simple and not flashy at all. But the prescribed cream is potent and effective.
Custom Prescribed Formula
Medical care is provided by physician assistants and nurse practitioners. Kelly is the physician assistant that helped me. Actual dermatologists are on staff to oversee the PA’s and NP’s.
The provider that is assigned to you will check on you to make sure how your prescription is working out. Your prescription can be changed depending on the feedback you give to your assigned provider. Also it takes about two business days to get a response from the assigned provider if you wish to communicate with them personally.
Their effective prescription formulas contain tretinoin (prescription retinoid), niacin amide (vitamin B3), azelaic acid (anti-inflammatory & antimicrobial), zinc pyrithione (fungus fighter), clindamycin (antibiotic), tranexamic acid (skin brightener), and metronidazole (antibiotic).
Skincare On Another Level
It only took several days from the day I signed up to receive my treatment plan and my prescription in the mail (white bottle Shown in middle picture above). I got a prescription for 4% Niacinamide, Azelaic Acid 5%, and Tretinoin 0.035%. Also included was a small moisturizer and cleanser. I had no complaints with their moisturizer and cleanser. I’m a creature of habit and I already have my own drugstore cleanser and moiturizers. So I will not be purchasing their set.
For the first month I paid $4.95 (only paid for shipping and handling). After I’ve been paying $25 a month for one bottle of retinoid prescription cream.
Only thing I don’t like is that their program automatically charges my card and ships me out a small bottle every single month. I don’t need a bottle every month. I think what I’m going to do is pause my account for about six months, that way I have plenty of time to use my prescription cream, and then restart it again when I run low.
Prescription Strength Skincare
Curology is a good option for people who don’t have access to a dermatologist, but still want prescription strength skincare. Curology should not replace in office cancer screenings or hospital treatments for serious skin conditions. Their website is informative and helpful and they explain their pricing better than I can. This beauty brand is definitely something to consider if you are looking for easy access to prescription strength skincare for anti-aging, textured skin, blemishes, or acne.

This was really interesting to learn about! Im such a creature of habit when it comes to my skincare!
This sounds like a really great service, it’s not common to see a derm here in the UK unless you have quite serious skin issues so this sounds like it would be a great alternative x

So true! You are doing amazing work! Thanks for sharing your wonderful posts.! 👍 I was suffering from acne due to my sensitive skin and severe summer heat. I tried my teenage time acne cream in my late twenties but i felt it was too mild to work on my much matured skin like now. Then one of my friend, was a satisfied user of Retin A, suggested me to use Retin A 0.05%. She said just search in Google for this keyword “Getret247” to find the reliable source ❤️. First 2 weeks my acne breakout little more than the usual. but after that, acne seemed to be decreased. Now I am cured and my skin is glowing. And I am quite satisfied with this 😊.
