Hi, I'm Beth with 50 plus Beauty and I'm so excited to be sharing this with you. This is the Cureology Program, which I'm sure you've heard about before. I had heard about it on other YouTube channels. It's a subscription service where you get prescription skin care ingredients and get the benefits of talking to skincare professionals, doctors and nurse practitioners, that kind of thing about your specific skin care concerns. Now I always thought something like that would probably be like $150 a month and so I just shied away from it. I thought, you know, I don't want to add anything that's expensive to my skin care. And then about a month and a half ago, the Cureology people reached out to me and they asked if I'd like to try it out for a month and share my results with you and I absolutely love this service. And the amazing thing is it is not expensive at all. In fact, the first month is totally free. They just ask you to pay $4.95 shipping and handling and there's a link below the video in the description box that will link you to that. And this is the little box that I got in the mail. It says Cureology on it. It's just really nice and cute. And then you open it up and it says, yes, let's do this. And it has this cute little blue thing that says skin is for living in and it talks about the three items that are in this package, the cleanser, very gentle cleanser, the super bottle, which is your mix of prescription ingredients that's formulated specifically for you and then a moisturizer. And actually I started out using all three of these, but recently I've just started using the super bottle because what I'm doing is I am using the super bottle. I'm putting it in the place of my Trenton Owen or Retinay. And for those of you who followed my channel, you know that for the past three years I've been on Trenton Owen and I have had fabulous results. Let me show you a little more about what's in this box. This is the cleanser and it's a gentle mild cleanser. It felt very much like a cedar fill cleanser to me. I do use the cedar fill and the shower in the morning and this was just like that very nice mild cleanser. This is the super bottle and basically it has my prescription in it, which I'll explain to you in just a few moments. And this is the moisturizer. And after your first month where you just pay 495 shipping and handling, you get this exact same box for 1995 plus the 495 shipping and handling. So just under $25. And to me this has lasted more than a month. So it's a very generous box of ingredients here and I think the price is wonderful. If you would like to get the box every 60 days, you won't have to pay shipping. So good to see your face is on this box and again the same sorts of things inside. You look at the size of those ingredients there and this box is only 39.95 and again you avoid shipping. So it just kind of depends if you want a one month or two months supply. And again you can decide just to order the super bottle. But everyone starts out on the free program with all three and if you're not doing a lot of skincare, I think you'll absolutely love this total program. It is just wonderful. So let me tell you a little bit more about how the Curology Service works. Basically what you do is you go online there and they ask you to fill out a skincare quiz. They ask basic health information and then specific information about what you would like to do for your skin. And when you submit the answers to your quiz, a skincare professional is on the other end and I got an email from her within a couple of hours and it's either a dermatologist or a nurse practitioner, something like that. And the primary areas of concern I think are either acne or anti-aging and at 62, I'm into the anti-aging and thank God in my 50s, I stopped the acne, which was a wonderful thing. And basically your skincare provider gets your quiz and you kind of go back and forth to figure out the ingredients that here she thinks you need. And they basically have six different skincare ingredients to choose from. And each little miracle bottle is what I call it. Each bottle contains three of the six ingredients. The first is Trenton Owen, which I've been using on my skin for the past three years. And I was at a .5% strength, but I was getting a lot of retinate irritation. And I expressed that in my quiz. So she put me on a .35% strength and they actually carry more percentage strengths there than they do at pharmacies. So your skincare provider can really customize your Trenton Owen to deal with that irritation. And I have to say I have used this preparation for one month at the .35% Trenton Owen strength and I went on the website and I asked them to bump that up to the 5% because my provider told me in an email that once my skin could handle the .35% for several weeks, she would go ahead and bump it up. So she's going to do that in the next shipment. Another ingredient they have available is clindamycin, which is primarily for acne treatment. And then they have niacinamide, vitamin C and zinc per theone. And basically your three skincare ingredients are combined with a very mild gentle base. I think it's mixed with aloe and glycerin and coconut oil or coconut water, something like that, something that is very non irritating and doesn't clog pores. Also this is totally fragrance free, which is wonderful. And it has a pH of 4.5 to 5, which is just the perfect pH for your skin. And my concerns were fine lines and wrinkles and also melasma because I've been getting a lot of melasma on my forehead recently. It just seems to be getting worse and worse. And I kept trying either Palmer's Fade Cream, which is a 2% hydroquinone or sometimes I'd ask my doctor to give me some hydroquinone at the 4%, but quite honestly that hydroquinone has been banned in certain countries. I think they think it might cause cancer. So I was always a little bit lary about that. And when I told them that I wanted skin brightening or to get rid of this melasma, I expected that I would have a preparation that would contain hydroquinone. And it was delighted to find out that when I received it, it had no hydroquinone at all. It has, again, the Treten Owen at the .035 percent. And then it has 4% niacinamide, which is a great skin brightener. And it also decreases inflammation, which is very instrumental in getting melasma. And then it has tran-examic acid at a 2% strength. And that is a wonderful skin brightener. And it helps fade out those areas, the dark spots, the melasma, that sort of thing. And how I'm using this is at first, I use the entire kit for the first few nights. And the cleanser is very mild and the moisturizer seemed really good. But to simplify things, I am just using this magic bottle, as I call it. I'm using it in place of the Treten Owen in my skincare regimen. And if you're interested in seeing my current skincare regimen, I'll put a link below this video. I use a lot of drugstore products at this point, so it's very inexpensive. But I truly love this whole idea, because basically you have a free doctor, a free dermatologist giving you prescription grade ingredients sent right to your home. You don't have to go out and get a prescription and hope your doctor will give you the Treten Owen. This is a great way to get it, and you really are being advised by a doctor, so it's a very safe way to use Treten Owen and these other active ingredients. And best of all, it's super inexpensive, super reasonable. And again, you can try the curiology program for a month, totally free, with the exception of 495 shipping and handling. And again, the link is below the video. And I will say I plan to do a future video on this, and I'm not sponsored by the curiology people in any way. I can have any opinion I want, but I'm very excited about the possibility of fading out these brown spots. And so I will be doing a video in the future to show you the results and how that effort is going. And if you're not a subscriber and you're interested in all things anti-aging, I hope you'll subscribe. And when you click that little bell, it just sends you email notifications of my future videos. And if you could give this video a thumbs up and or share it, that would be great too. Okay, I always like to leave you with a little thought for the day. And I've been using these Miracles Nail Cards from Gabrielle Bernstein. Okay, let's see what positive thought we can think about for today. Okay, I don't need to find my purpose. My purpose will find me. I don't need to find my purpose. My purpose will find me. Oh, friends, this is an absolutely wonderful card. And quite honestly, it's something that I wrestle with all the time and maybe you do too. I'm wondering, why did God put me on this earth? What am I supposed to be doing here? And quite honestly, I love makeup and skincare, but I'm hoping it's some other purpose that can be more helpful to people than that overall. And so sometimes I really actively think about that. And recently I've decided just to give it up. Just to say, God, I am here and I am here to hopefully do your will. Whatever that is. Great things, small things. I don't mind. Lord, I just give it to you and ask you to direct me. So friends, just for today, let's give up thinking about the grand meeting of our lives. Let's just give that up to God or the universe and to realize that sometimes the best way to find our purpose is to let our purpose find us. Take care and I'll see you in my next video.
