First Month Done!

Overall Curology was a big hit! Not going to lie, i actually thought that curology was going to be a miss for me because my oily skin is so complicated to take care of and curology totally changed that. Do i think it’s worth the money and time? In all honesty, i think i do! It kinda helped me feel less insecure about my skin and i just had hope that it would work. i was only skeptical because it was so commercialized and a lot of influencers were being paid to use the product (some weren’t) but just seeing a bunch of ads of influencers promoting certain products kinda makes me not want to buy the product. But... i gave it a chance and i’m absolutely so glad i did. I did finish all of the products given to me the first month and tomorrow my new curology products are coming in! I’m glad to say that i’m super excited to continue this curology journey! i’ll keep you updated :)

So what’s been going on?

I know for a fact new skincare does not work overnight. It’s been i think two weeks now of me using curology, so what has been happening?? Well, my skin overall is somewhat like that one trend everyone was into: glass skin. It’s absolutely beautiful but i did have some little friends pop up here and there. It might be because i switched skin care and i didn’t introduce little by little, which is my fault by the way. But over all i really think it’s working. I forgot to mention in my other blog post that before curology i had very clogged pores on my nose and in the span of two weeks my pores are almost invisible. Probably the most impressive thing i’ve ever seen from any skincare product. I’ll keep you updated:)

I’ve never wanted to be home more to take pictures of skincare products, or just take pictures in general

Curology Journey

ok. so last night was the first time that i used the curology prouducts and the least to say is that the cleanser and medication stung a bit, BUT only because i had gotten my eyebrows waxed and the product stung the areas that were waxed. I really don’t think that that was the products fault. It was more my fault. So overall i really likes the products especially the moisturizer because it was very light but also very hydrating. I’ll keep you guys updated if i see any changes:)

Guess what came in today!! Can’t wait to try these products out! I’ll keep you guys updated:)

Update on Curology

So yesterday i got an email from Curology and they generally just i guess you could say “introduced” me to my Dermatologist that chose the leave on formula. I really don’t know if i’m allowed to say my Dermatologists name, but she did right in an email that she reviewed the photos that i sent and “prescribed” a leave on cream w/ active ingredients that include Azelaic acid which fights dark spots in advance to its antibacterial, antifungal and pore- unclogging properties, Clindamycin, which is an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory with powerful effects against acne-causing bacteria, and lastly; Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3 that acts as an antioxidant, reducing inflamation, hyperpigmentation and fine lines. She also suggested that i change my skincare routine so that i gradually introduce curology into my routine. I’ll add a picture of the email. Lastly she just reminded me that she would check in in two weeks to see if the product is working well or if it’s causing any problems. That’s all the info that i have right now, but i do look forward to see if the product will work or if it’s just like any other prescription acne medication i’ve tried in the past. I’ll keep you updated:)

I’ve been using this Kiehl’s cleansing foam face wash and omg it works wonders. I have normal to oily skin type and this definitely is one of the best products i’ve used in a while that actually works. 10/10 recommend 🥰

Does it work or is it over hyped?

So just recently i had ordered a bottle of Curology, and yes i know by now everyone you know probably has a bottle or two, but i started thinking to myself; does it really work or is it just overhyped by everyone like the way Proactive was overhyped and didn’t really work for some people? I was truly very curious and i love skincare. it’s probably one of the few things i’m good at. So i logged into their website, created an account and put my information for my skin. On the website they claim that a licensed dermatologist looks at your skin info and based that off of the product they choose/ you get. After putting all the information in and billing address they ask you to send pictures of your face/ affected areas (which i kinda found creepy but that’s just because i watch too many conspiracy videos). After sending the pictures they basically tell you about how much billing will be after the free trial and give you some info on shipping and how they will stay in touch and see if you like the product. Now, i haven’t gotten my curology yet but that’s only because i ordered it a few days ago, but it has shipped. So basically my whole reasoning for starting this blog is to basically just see if the product works. I’m going into this with a very open mind, and not allowing other people’s reviews affect the way i review this product over the few weeks, just to see if it works differently than the way prescription acne products do. Hopefully this will be helpful to anyone :). i’ll keep you updated ♡
