Curology, a dermatologist-backed skin-care brand, offers fully customized products for skin from head to toe. Whether you want to address acne, aging, unwanted discoloration or even hair loss, Curology has a treatment. Their services start with a skin-care quiz and consultation with a licensed dermatology provider to analyze your exact needs. Then, the products prescribed are shipped right to your door. From there, members can expect access to a fully customized skin-care routine for a small monthly fee. If you’re intrigued but already have a derm you love or think a skin-care subscription isn’t your thing, good news. Curology also offers stand-alone purchases for their clinically tested formulas.
A new Curology product that’s making waves with shoppers is the Dark Spot Serum ($23). According to the brand, the serum zeros in on the appearance of discoloration, stubborn spots and post-acne marks, while helping soothe and support your skin’s barrier. Using glycolic acid, tranexamic acid, kojic acid, licorice root extract and niacinamide, the Dark Spot Serum works to reverse damage that shows up as an uneven complexion. Whether caused by genetics, hormones, sun damage or stress, these ingredients will help fade existing discoloration, prevent future spots from forming and soothe redness-causing inflammation.
The formula has already garnered shopper acclaim. “Stop everything,” declared a shopper. “The change I saw after using it for just a few days was incredible,” the same person added. Another reviewer said that after three uses, their age spots faded “quite a bit,” thanks to Curology’s Dark Spot Serum. Other shoppers praised it for diminishing acne scars fast. “For me it worked really well on my old acne scars,” said one. “It is great for brightening post acne marks,” echoed a second. Naturally, the ingredient list also made the impression on users. “The ingredients go immediately to work,” raved a customer. Another said the formula “works wonders.” Fans also credited it from clearing up pregnancy-related hyperpigmentation, calling it a “must-have” for reducing redness and several praised its “fast-absorbing,” “milky texture” for smoothing skin.
