Telehealth-powered prescription skincare platform; dermatologist-formulated custom serums via subscription, pioneering Rx beauty-tech.

About

Curology is a San Francisco-based telehealth skincare company founded in 2014 by Dr. David Lortscher. The platform connects patients with licensed dermatology providers who review photos and skin concerns online, then prescribe custom compounded serums containing pharmaceutical actives such as tretinoin, niacinamide, and clindamycin. Products are shipped directly to subscribers as part of a monthly plan.\n\nCurology has raised approximately $40 million in venture funding and projects revenues approaching $100 million annually. The company has expanded its service beyond acne treatment to cover anti-aging, melasma, and rosacea. It launched a sister brand, Agency, specifically targeting men's skincare concerns. The combination of telehealth prescription authority with DTC manufacturing and delivery positions Curology at the intersection of digital health and beauty — a unique regulatory moat that over-the-counter brands cannot replicate.\n\nThe brand has attracted a loyal subscriber base among millennial and Gen Z consumers who prefer personalized, clinician-backed skincare over generic pharmacy products. By eliminating the in-person dermatology visit, Curology democratizes access to prescription-strength ingredients at a fraction of traditional office costs.
