Bad product and business
I kept trying these formulas for long periods of time and it only ever made my skin worse. On top of this I was charged for boxes I didn't want shipped without advanced notice more than once.

Quick Resolution
Easy to txt a question about shipping. My issues was resolved within 15mins. I’m pleased.
Untrustworthy
I previously signed up for pre-shipment alerts, yet I did not receive an alert before my product was prepared for shipment. I contacted customer service via text, as they do not have a number to call. I was told that the shipment had already left their facility and they could not cancel the shipment. When I tracked the package, it showed that the carrier did not have possession of the package. I contacted them again to let them know that the package had not left their facility. The rep said that they would forward my concern to the appropriate person to see about canceling and refunding the charge. I would hear something in 2 days. So in other words they will allow the shipment to leave their facility and then see if they can cancel the shipment before it leaves? I was also told that I could not set my profile up for text alerts and that it could only be done on their end. The rep requested proof. How can I provide proof if it was done via their website? My daughter and I both set up our profiles, on our end, to receive pre-shipment alerts. She gets them and I don't. When I mentioned this to the to the rep, the rep stopped responding.

Sash was amazing in helping to get a new package shipped out to me due to the other one being routed to my old address. Thanks to her I’ll have all my skincare delivered upon my move and I’m so thankful for that!
Updated Review - Responsive Customer Service
Update: Customer Service reached out to find a remedy to the problem. It's a shame it took a Trustpilot review to get them to respond, but I appreciate them taking the time to help resolve this.
Old Review- BE WARNED: They do not give you refunds and don't accept returns. They will take your card information and not tell you when they are shipping out another batch, then you get a surprise $100 bill that they refuse to refund you. Be careful!

Customer service is amazing!! I wish you would fix the delivery problems.
SCAMMED OUT OF $100
I signed up for the 30 free trial. I canceled my service about a week and a half (possibly 2 weeks) prior to when it was supposed to charge me for the next month. I received a noticed that I got charged anyway. I went through the cancellation process again and contacted customer service, but received no response. A few days later, it said the order shipped. I canceled again and contacted again, still with no response. The morning after it shipped, I contacted again (via text this time) and finally got a response only for them to refuse a refund because I canceled "too late" and they had "no record" of me canceling the first two times. I'm screwed out of $100 for something that is not my fault.

Great customer care
My box came with missing 2 items and I contacted customer care and they sent me a whole new box with the correct items for free, can't beat that for customer service! I was very happy
Worst skincare company ever!
This company is such a joke & completely scams its customers! I bought their trial tretenoin formula, wanted to give my skin a few weeks to adjust, I had major irritation from their formula. A new bottle shipped out before I had even finished out the trial formula. These formula's are not custom to your skin at all. This formula burned my skin and they told me they don't offer refunds but could adjust my formula. No thank you! RUN AS far away from this company as you can go. I regret ever getting involved with their business. THE ABSOLUTE WORST. LEARN TO START CARING MORE ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS - We are the lifeline to YOU staying in BUSINESS!

I’d be happy to look into this for you. Please give me a moment while I pull up your account!

I apologize if there's any confusion regarding this recent order. The trial is meant to last for the first 30 days of your subscription. After that, your full-sized shipment will process & bill by your chosen box. As a courtesy, we sent an email reminder beforehand to help ensure you were aware and prepared for your upcoming shipment. As this was your first full sized order, the total was $107.21.
Unfortunately, it looks like your shipment has already left our facility so we are unable to cancel it at this time. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused. However, as you are going to see an in person dermatologist, I can confirm your account has been cancelled! Rest assured, as your account is no longer active, no new shipments will process for you.

I can confirm that a pre-shipment email was sent on May 4th. Sometimes our emails are misdirected to spam, so please be sure ' to your contacts list. This should help ensure any future messages are delivered to your inbox without issue.
I do sincerely apologize, however, once a shipment processes, we are unable to cancel, refund, or accept the return of an order. For additional information, please see our return policy here.

At this time, we don't have a phone line. I understand this may be frustrating, and I've passed along your feedback to our team. Thank you for taking the time to reach out and share your thoughts. We're always looking for new ways to improve our service to best meet the needs of our members.
I understand that you would like to file a fraud charge with your bank. Is there anything I may do to assist you in the meantime?
3:17 PM
Yes this is a formal complaint as I was not notified nor did I confirm that I needed any products as these products did not work for my 14 year old minor child. I have contacted this merchant that has refused to refund money they have stated they can not be reached by a business phone. They have been notified that a fraud charge will be filed as well as a complaint with the attorney General, pharmacy board, and better business bureau.

Skin care is not personalized
Skin care is not personalized. I was new to retinol I had never used it before and after using as directed for 3 days my skin was so insanely irritated I stopped using and forgot about them charging me. A month later they sent the same stuff, I tried to cancel but the provider assured me that I would get a better formula. Paid again and tried again, the product was still to strong. I tried to cancel but was forced to do a pause…. The following cycle I saw à failed change, for online canceled my subscription but they billed again and now I am stuck with so much product I can’t use because as it turns out I am allergic to the formula. Lots of “read the policy” but no actual help.
Just go to a dermatologist in person. These tele services are just pushing drugs without any concern for the actual health of the individual. Shame on you Curology….

cancellation problems
update.. curology stepped up and refunded for the error
Approx a month ago I attempted to cancel the subscription and was not able to as I continually recieved an error message. I then emailed and after much going back and forth she agreed to cancel the account ...lo and behold I recieved a package on 4/25 and was charged 87.00 .. After finally getting to someone I have been told there are no returns whatsoever...How can you run a company like this?
