COMMUNITY SENTIMENT

Not OP, but also using Curology. You don't have to start out with the heavy hitters - my skin was super dried out this winter (like, no matter how much moisture I put back in it was not enough) and was also having horrible hormonal acne and CC issues. I started Curology with a super gentle formula (zinc pyrithione, clindamycin, and niacinamide) and it has made a world of difference. It did cause minor purging (just because it's clearing out your pores, it's not an AHA or BHA level purge) and my skin is recovering wonderfully

I felt the same way. I explained my fears to my curology doc and she definitely listened. I got my first script and was kind of nervous since she told me all this stuff I'd need to do and not do, but I just did it. It worked out amazingly and I saw a difference in less than a week. If you want to try your first month for free, you can try my referral code: You can use anyone's code, not just trying to promote my own, but there's no real promotion for this other than a free month with a referral. The doc communication is great and you can get what you want if you just ask.

You sound like me! Acne since 10, still dealing with it at 26(also a woman of color). I've only been using AB since September and Curology since October. Your results reaffirms my dedication to this skincare lifestyle! Beautiful skin for a beautiful lady!

COMMENTS

Add context that might help others — skin type, conditions like PCOS, what you'd tried before. The more specific, the more useful.
