Acne Treatment Regimens

Your personalized
skin plan

Acne treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all, and our medical team will evaluate
your skin’s specific needs and prescribe targeted solutions.
See examples of what this might look like.

Mild acne regimen

For mild acne patients often receive a topical antibiotic gel or a tretinoin cream (or in some cases, both). These prescription treatments prevent or treat breakouts.

*Depending on the prescribed medication, topical antibiotics or retinoids cost as low as $40-$90 per shipment ($20-$30 per month). If you have insurance we will bill it directly and your copay will depend on your plan.

Hormonal acne regimen

Acne that’s mostly driven by menstrual hormonal shifts may be treated with combination birth control pills to regulate hormones and/or spironolactone (to block androgen hormones), along with a retinoid cream.

*Depending on the prescribed medication, a combination of topical retinoids and birth control can cost as low as $105-$135 per shipment ($45 per month). If you have insurance we will bill it directly and your copay will likely be $0 for the birth control. The copay for the topical medication will depend on your plan.

Moderate acne regimen

To get moderate acne under control we often prescribe an oral antibiotic to stop bacteria and inflammation from the inside out, and a topical retinoid to prevent clogged pores by accelerating skin cell turnover.

*In this plan medications cost as low as $130 for the first shipment and $40 per month for the next two shipments, since topical medications are shipped as a 3 month supply and oral antibiotics are shipped as a 1 month supply.

I've been using nurx for years now, they are great. Even when I had issues with my script or whatever the problem was resolved quickly

Excellent

Customer service is excellent always get your product out in a timely matter. Can't say enough about these guys if you want to try this absolutely do it you will not be disappointed.

Best decision I've made

Best decision I've made in my adult life. I have STRUGGLED with acne since I was about 14. 10 years later and I'm still battling it. I stumbled across Nurx from a YouTube video. Just as the creator said, it was a super easy process. I have been prescribed Tretinoin for about 6 months now and wow, has it made a difference in my skin. The dermatologists instructions were very clear and precise. It's extremely affordable and words cant describe how happy I am that I found Nurx.

Positively impacted my life for years with access to birth control and acne treatment

Excellent service

I couldn't get my PCP to acknowledge my acne concerns and I spent good money for unfruitful office visits. I ended up firing her and finding a new PCP but in the interim I utilized Nurx services AND Nurx was less expensive!

Crazy Adult Acne

The PA that I was in contact with, was very thorough. They did not feel the medication I initially contacted them about was the right fit, and am very pleased so far with what was recommended and perscribed for me. My acne is significantly better. I'm feeling better about being seen, knowing my acne is noticeably better! Thank you!!

Simple!

Nurx is so simple, easy and convenient!! Just had to answer a few questions about my skin/acne and my medication was delivered to my house fast !! It was billed through my insurance so I didn’t have to pay out of pocket. I would 100% recommend to any one !

Acne medication

The process was easy and not stressful. They were able to help me as I’m waiting to be seen in person by a dermatologist. Seems every time I make an appointment, something comes up and I have to reschedule. But the two medications that have been prescribed have helped my face so much already. My confidence is coming back and my skin is getting better! The oily look is disappearing and a lot of the redness is gone. I’m happy I went through with this brand and took a leap of faith to try it.

So helpful

I was really frustrated by my acne. I am so happy I was able to get professional help from my phone. They made it so easy. I trust their advice and even following the routine for a week I've seen improvement.

Acne Medication

Price was decent, response time was almost a month, and it’s to soon to know how the medication is working for me.
