Curology has helped transform the lives of millions of people. Through our products, we're allowing people to feel confident in their skin, and that really affects every part of their life.

I was in medical school and I decided to dedicate my career to dermatology. And after residency, in my first position in New Mexico, that's when this calling really struck me. I started prescribing multiple topical treatments for my patients, which gave them these incredible results. And that's because this unique combination of ingredients wasn't just treating one cause of acne, it was treating multiple causes of acne.

I was seeing patients who had driven maybe two hours just to come see me and like knowing that this is something that I could help them with just via photos and without them having to take a whole day off work. That was really the lightbulb moment. Like, how do we make effective skincare accessible to people all over the country?

So in 2014, Curology was born. Each patient is connected with one of our over 100 licensed dermatology providers*. They review photos of the patient's skin. Then prescribe a personalized formula—made up of three-clinically proven ingredients—designed to help treat everything from acne and rosacea to dark spots and fine lines.

The beauty of Curology is that whatever your skin needs, whether that may be over-the-counter ingredients, prescription ingredients, or even a combination of both, your Curology provider can put that into your formulation.

What really sets us apart is our incredible team of licensed dermatology providers. We get asked all the time, “are these providers actually real people?” And we get asked that a lot less by people who use Curology because then once they start to see the relationship, they're like, “wow, this is a real person and someone who really cares about me.”

In the nine years since we've launched, we've helped millions of people get clear skin, and that's just incredible to think about.

I think Curology is going to continue to lead and innovate in getting people the most personalized and the most effective skincare.
