I didn’t want to believe that Curology would get rid of my cystic acne, painful pimples, and the dark spots that were left behind from my picking at them constantly. It was truly an embarrassing period in my life, I didn’t want to go out. I didn’t want to do anything. My sister suggested I try Curology. So I did. At first it was a slow process and I had a purging period where everything was coming to the surface. But after about 30+ days of consistently using the product it started vanishing the cystic acne. It started making my skin softer. It controlled my breakouts a lot better and my pimples would disappear quicker. It helped a lot with keeping my skin clear. Now I get about 2-3 pimples here and there but nothing compared to what it was before and they’re manageable and can be covered up where. The only reason I give this 4/5 stars is because it kept my skin clear but didn’t help with all the dark spots left behind from the acne. I had to go out of Curology in order to treat the darkspots. So I am using Murad dark spot corrector with my Curology medication to help the process. I’m also considering a peel. But overall it helped my skin tremendously.
