It’s a deadly combination-hating your acne and the convenience of the internet. After wallowing in my sorrows about my pimples, I knew I had to do something about it. Obviously, the first step was to go to a dermatologist, but I was in college and also really lazy. So, I did what I thought was reasonable: I turned to Curology. I had heard about it from multiple Instagram and Youtube ads, and after reading lots of reviews from their website, it seemed credible. It helped that their trial was practically free; all I had to do was pay a small fee for shipping.
Don’t get me wrong, I was skeptical at first. How would they know what medicine would work for me? Why was this better than going to a real dermatologist? Does cheap equal bad? I had many questions. But after looking on their website and actually talking to the provider, I felt a lot better. Their process was quite simple. After signing up, I answered a few questions about what I was looking for, and sent in photos of my face. Then, I set up a date for a phone call with a provider, and that was that. She called me and we talked a bit about my skin, and any questions that I had. After we chatted, the provider told me what ingredients would go into my “superbottle,” and after recognizing the names of the ingredients, I was feeling confident about it.

Fast forward about two weeks from the phone call. I had been using the formula for a week or so, and was becoming really impatient. I hoped to see results right away, but it seemed to get worse. This was a side effect that I was warned about, but to see it actually happen on my face was not a pleasant thing to wake up to. I was not excited to see what else would happen.
Fast forward again to now- about 6 weeks from when I first started the “treatment.” Fingers crossed, but I am quite happy. First of all, the texture of my skin, which is something that I wanted to improve, has gotten much better. I have much less acne than before, and things are good. I am already done with my free month trial and onto the next. I admit, the full size bottle package is more expensive than the free shipping, but I would say that it is really worth it. It comes with the regular sized superbottle, along with a full sized moisturizer and cleanser. Good stuff! Take it from me. It really doesn’t hurt to try Curology out. So go wash your face and drink a lot of water, because that really is the first step to clearer skin. And if not, try Curology.
