About
Curology is a direct-to-consumer telehealth skincare brand that connects patients with licensed dermatology providers to create custom prescription-strength skincare formulas. After completing an online skin quiz and photo consultation, subscribers receive a personalized Rx formula blended specifically for their skin concerns — from acne and clogged pores to dark spots, fine lines, redness, and rosacea. The product lineup includes several prescription options: Custom Formula Rx (targeted treatment for a range of skin concerns), Hair Formula Rx (prescription-powered hair regrowth with minoxidil), DayPrime Rx (acne treatment and makeup primer in one), HydroTret Rx (retinoid formula with added hydration), and Body Cleanse Rx (salicylic acid body wash for bacne). Beyond Rx products, Curology also offers dermatologist-approved non-prescription essentials including a Vitamin C serum, gel moisturizer, SPF moisturizer, gentle cleanser, and acne body wash. Curology is ideal for adults who want clinically effective skincare without the hassle of in-person dermatology visits. The subscription model provides ongoing access to providers who can adjust formulas over time based on skin progress. The service is available online and is designed for users seeking evidence-based, results-driven skincare that goes beyond over-the-counter options.
