Curology provides personalized skincare solutions through an online platform. Clients start by completing a questionnaire and uploading photos of their skin, which allows Curology's dermatology providers to create a custom skincare formula tailored to their specific needs. This product is then shipped directly to the client, aiming to address issues like acne, dark spots, and uneven skin tone more effectively than standard over-the-counter products. Curology differentiates itself from competitors by focusing on a subscription model that includes ongoing support from dermatology professionals, ensuring clients receive continuous care and adjustments to their skincare regimen. The goal of Curology is to offer a convenient and effective alternative for individuals who have struggled with traditional skincare products, making personalized skincare accessible and straightforward.
