curology

Hi everyone! It has been so long... my apologies. 

But, I just wanted all of you to know about this amazing stuff that I have discovered. You might be thinking now lily, what is this "stuff" and why on earth is it so amazing. Well, hold your horses i'm getting there! 

As some of you may know, I have struggled with acne for quite some time now... like since 3rd or 4th grade! I have tried a ridiculous number of products that are specifically for acne and sensitive skin. Nothing has really worked. I even went to the dermatologist a few years ago and the medication that they gave me just irritated my skin to the point where it was just unbearable. 

So, in March I was watching YouTube and looking at the newest videos and I saw this one with the title "I FINALLY Cleared My Acne". These kinds of videos really get my attention because I too am trying to clear my acne. So, of course I watched the video! The product that this YouTuber was talking about was this medication called Curology. 

After I watched the video, listened to her review, and looked at her pictures, I decided to go check this stuff out. After further investigation, I finally ordered it. 

Now, let me tell you how it works. First you go to curology.com and sign up for an account. When you sign up it will have you take a little questionnaire about your skin. After this they will pair you up with a dermatologist. This will be the person that you will talk to about your skin and the medication and you can ask them questions, as well. Once, this happens you will take pictures of your problem areas and this will help your dermatologist determine what ingredients need to be put into your medication. Lastly, if you decide to go through with this and order it, you will be charged $20 a month and this is for access to your online dermatologist at all times, as well as a bottle of medication delivered to your doorstep every three months (this can be adjusted if you run out before your three months is up). 

Now let me just tell you... I started using this in March and my skin was extremely red and I had pimples and such all over my face and to be completely honest with you I hardly ever left my house without makeup on because I was, well embarrassed and insecure. But, it is now June and I am very comfortable leaving my house with a bare face! I really only have acne scarring left, which even that is fading. 

I love this stuff so so much and I would recommend it to literally anyone and everyone!!

This is so inspiring in so many ways to me!
