Curology
You'd be hard pressed to find a young millennial or gen-Zer who hasn't heard of Curology. The 100-percent online, direct-to-consumer skin-care brand connects customers with real dermatology professionals via an introductory skin-care quiz. After a formula of their signature cream is prescribed, customers can chat with providers using an in-app messaging service. A frequently updated blog shares more information on acne, skin care, and beauty, too.
Skin Medicinals
Taking things a step further, Skin Medicinals works with licensed local physicians to help patients find customized acne and skin-care solutions — all backed by science. The process begins by scheduling an appointment with a physician (usually in-office, but televisits can be expected in the age of COVID-19). From there, compounded topical medications — exclusive to Skin Medicinals — are custom selected to meet each patient's needs and shipped directly to your door.
MDAcne
Smartphone app MDAcne relies on a single selfie and visual technology to asses your skin's needs. From there, a custom three-step treatment — cleanser, cream, and moisturizer — is created and sent to your home. The products are FDA-approved, clinically proven, and medical grade.
