What is Curology HydroTretRx? 
Formally Known as Future-Proof Rx

Curology HydroTretRx helps defend against the earliest signs of aging, while giving your skin that healthy glow. Beyond keeping your skin clear of breakouts, HydroTretRx is personalized with clinically-proven ingredients, like the gold-standard tretinoin, to help boost collagen production, fade dark spots and fine lines, and smooth texture. 

Does HydroTretRx help prevent against the earliest signs of aging?

In addition to helping maintain clear skin, HydroTretRx can get you closer to your glow goals by boosting collagen production, fading hyperpigmentation, and smoothing the skin’s surface. Consistent use of the HydroTretRx line, along with diligent sun protection, can also prevent the signs of aging, like fine lines and wrinkles.

How do I fit HydroTretRx into my routine?

The most important thing is to follow your Curology provider’s instructions. For new patients, we typically recommend a fairly simple skincare routine, which might look something like this: 

AM:

• Wash with water or a gentle cleanser

• Use a sunscreen or moisturizer with SPF

PM:

• Wash with a gentle cleanser; wait until your face is completely dry

• Apply a thin layer of the HydroTretRx formula onto your face/neck and leave on overnight

• Use a separate moisturizer, if desired 

Do I have to cut any ingredients when starting HydroTretRx? 

Yes, we do recommend simplifying your routine for a few weeks, as your skin adjusts to HydroTretRx. This will help reduce the risk of dryness and irritation. 

For starters, we recommend pausing the use of:

• AHA (e.g. glycolic acid or lactic acid)

• BHA (e.g. salicylic acid)

• Vitamin C

• Retinols

• Physical exfoliators (e.g. brushes and scrubs)

If you want to reintroduce these, use your best judgment and do so gradually, as tolerated.
