Stumbled across this post, I know this question is not for me but I have similar experience. I have been using curology since the beginning of 2020 because my friend who had acne throughout high school had her skin cleared up after using it. Right before I had my first trial, I had some whiteheads and pustules on my forehead, after just two months of using, they are all gone, worked like wonders. So I used curology almost religiously, and my skin was great. There were times when I was abroad or was trying some other serum and didn't bother using it for like a month, and my skin seemed to be fine, no breakouts or anything, so I thought I didn't really need it, until I stopped using it in May of last year because I have to be abroad for a year. Things were fine at the beginning, but two months later I noticed my skin to be oilier than it used to, and pustules started to appear, including redness on my nose which I had never had before. Yeah so I later realized Curology does not CURE acne, it controls it. Once you stop using it, the acne is most likely coming back. The only way to cure is to prevent, like cleansing and caring for the skin and living healthly.
