Frequently Asked Questions
Is Curology FDA approved?
All the ingredients used in Curology skin products have been FDA approved as safe and effective in the treatment of acne and anti-aging. But it's good to know that since the personalized formulas are created individually for each patient, they cannot be FDA approved. Nevertheless, the ingredients that the company uses in its formulas are perfectly safe and effective.
How long does it take for Curology to start working?
According to Dr. Lortscher, it can take as short as two weeks to as long as 12 weeks for Curology to start working, depending on your personalized formula and concerns. For instance, if you're looking to just clear up and brighten up your skintone, you can expect to see the results in about two to three weeks. However, typical acne treatments, including Curology's anti-acne formulas, can take much longer to start working - anywhere between two to three months.
In any case, it's important to be patient (no skincare treatment can work overnight) and diligent in following your prescribed routine.
Does Curology have side effects?
The good news is that you can always consult with your medical provider over at Curology for how to best deal with potential side effects. They may suggest reducing the number of times you use your formula during the week or recommend lowering the strength of your formulation in the future.
