Curology

It kind of worked and I was impressed until I realized they supplement their prescription with recommendations for more products that actually work. So, it seems like it's working, but it's actually because of the other stuff you're buying,

Also, I stuck a Q-tip into my bottle to find I was tricked. The real bottom is not even an inch from the top of the bottle, more than halfway from the "real bottom."

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I received the first bottle and was thrilled with the formula. It worked as well (perhaps better) than previous prescriptions I'd gotten for basically the same product in separate bottles. However, the "one month's" supply lasted only a couple of weeks, and the reviewer who stated that the bottom was a 1/4 inch or so from the top was being accurate. Then, when I attempted to send new photos to my provider and to order an "extra" bottle, I received no help whatsoever.

When the provider finally contacted me, she stated that my bottle was on the way. That was approximately a week ago (it's now August 2nd), but I've received nothing. When I called my bank this morning, I discovered that I'd been charged $39.95 on July 14th! When I attempted to track the package, I learned that Curology had merely created a SHIPPING LABEL on July 15th, but had provided USPS with nothing else and the aforementioned was awaiting the actual product to be sent!

Meanwhile, customer service has failed to respond to me at all, and my provider/PA/doctor takes forever, claims she didn't receive the pictures I downloaded and can't help me with billing issues. Their website provides no phone number and when my bank gave me one it went straight to voicemail. I'm furious and am going to be forced to freeze my account unless this can be resolved. I will provide a follow-up message when (and if) it is.

So, I was expecting good results since all of these people said "oh my god, it's a miracle worker" and "oh wow, all my acne is gone" and they posted up all these pictures and all these nice ratings. And then I went to get the trial version. AND THEN my face got worse than better.

They trick you with sponsoring their ads and all these people that get better with their "Serum" but in reality, it makes your face worse with a lot of break outs that freaking hurt, and I looked even worse than before.

I tried Curology for 3 months and have come out the other side much, much worse. I went through 5 different formulas and will give Curology props that their “dermatology providers” were attentive and always responded swiftly with helpful information (how qualified this advice actually is, is yet to be determined).

However, each of these formulas made me break out in areas I've never had issues with, completely dried out my skin to the point of slight pain when smiling/etc, and did nothing to my enlarged pores (in fact, each formula made me break out with many whiteheads, which is unusual for my skin).

It did absolutely nothing for my existing issues and only created new ones. I have requested a full refund for each product, as Curology did not even come close to their assertions of clearer skin. As someone who struggles with acne, I know that your skin has to get used to products, but it shouldn't take 3 months and you wind up WORSE OFF than when you began. Shame on Curology.

They really don't have too many tricks up their sleeves when it comes to formulations, and you mostly get a “give it time” or “dilute it with moisturizer” responses. If I could give it zero stars I would. Stay away. I know this seems like a better option than going to a dermatologist, but it isn't!

Do not try Curology! Don’t even waste your money on this product. It doesn’t work! I contacted their help center and they were no help. The site clearly says to try it out and if it doesn’t work, you get a refund. That’s what I asked for and I got the run around.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I wish I could leave a positive review on the product, BUT I still haven't tried it because USPS lost it and trying to correct the issue with Curology to actually UNDERSTAND is a lost cause. So I am out shipping for the trial, the item, AND I lost confidence in Curology's customer service! Terrible.

I got the trial of Curology. I was under the impression that I was going to get a whole skin care routine... However, they sent me this one bottle of night time cream. So I decided to try it anyway.

They told me it would get worse before it got better and now after almost two months it hasn't gotten better. I have acne on parts of my face that I have NEVER had before; blackheads and whiteheads that are totally different, and the cystic acne I have has gotten so much worse and isn't clearing up. I can't touch my face without it hurting and it has been a nightmare.

I do NOT recommend this for cystic acne, and I should have listened to all my friends who told me it was a scam. Now my face is COVERED in cysts, and my dermatologist has never seen anything like it. I now have to get cortisone shots all over my chin, which I have NEVER had to do before. BEWARE. This is the worst my skin has ever been! Not to mention $40 for a tiny bottle of cream. Proactive worked so much better and is cheaper.

Don't fall for it ladies. Don't make my nightmare your nightmare. I'm devastated. My dermatologist is working overtime trying to help women not make the mistake I did and so am I. Please find a REAL, IN PERSON DOCTOR before you try this. I don't want any other women going through what I am. Please be cautious!

I used Curology for eight weeks before finally giving up. It made my acne so much worse. I broke out over my entire face instead of just my jawline (my trouble area). The breakouts we're cystic and painful, and they never got better or reduced. Within days of stopping Curology, my face improved.

I reached out twice to my specialist for advice. The first time she told me five weeks was too soon to make a determination. The second time she gave me a list of generic advice like "cut out dairy" and "check your other face products." I've had acne for 13 years. You think I haven't already done those things? Very disappointed.

The actual prescription itself didn't work for me. I did try it for a while too. My scars and acne continued to persist. Overall, it didn’t do anything bad to my skin, but didn’t do any good either.

There was also this one time where I tried asking to cancel my subscription, but instead, I was charged $40. Customer service came slow and said it couldn’t be solved. I wish there was a way to return the bottle knowing that other people also have my same exact prescription.

I canceled my subscription with Curology in May; I have the screenshot where it says "are you sure you want to cancel?" I clicked yes, then it said "you will be missed." They took money out of my bank account for this month when I already canceled, so of course, they don't have a phone number you can call, you have to email them, and I did. They said someone will get back to you in 48-72 hours. So I sent another email asking for someone to get back to me today as this is my money they took. No one responded. Post poor customer service. I will never recommend them, and their product didn't even help me.

I have never bought from this company. I checked my bank balance and I saw Curology as deducting $4.95 out of my account. I emailed them to ask who they are and what they sell. No response still. I’m beyond irritated.
