View company profile

We're Curology, and we're on a mission to make effective skincare accessible to everyone. Founded in 2014 by Dr. David Lortscher, a board-certified dermatologist, we recognized that navigating the world of skincare can be overwhelming and often expensive. That's why we pioneered a new approach: personalized prescription skincare, delivered right to your door. We believe that everyone deserves to feel confident in their own skin, and our innovative telehealth platform connects you with licensed dermatology providers who create custom formulas tailored to your unique skin concerns and goals. Whether you're dealing with acne, rosacea, dark spots, or signs of aging, we're here to provide expert guidance and clinically proven ingredients.

Our process is simple. You start by telling us about your skin and sharing some photos. One of our dermatology providers then reviews your information and, if appropriate, prescribes a personalized formula with a unique blend of active ingredients. But our commitment to your skin journey doesn't stop there. We offer ongoing support and adjustments to your formula as your skin evolves. Beyond our custom formulas, we've also developed a range of non-prescription skincare essentials, like cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreens, designed to complement your personalized treatment. We're proud to have helped millions of people achieve their skin goals and are constantly innovating to bring you the most effective and convenient skincare solutions. We're more than just a skincare company; we're a team dedicated to empowering you to put your best face forward.
