Best online dermatology for skin of color (2026)

Two custom-skincare telehealth services evaluated for skin of color, focused on hyperpigmentation, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, pseudofolliculitis barbae, and acne. For melanoma screening or keloid surgical management, an in-person dermatologist is still required.

Curology

3.9/5

Curology is a workable second choice for Black-skin acne and early hyperpigmentation, but the lack of explicit skin-of-color formulation training behind the prescribing makes it a downgrade from Apostrophe.

Best for Black patients with mild-to-moderate acne who want a prescription-strength regimen at a lower entry price than Apostrophe.

How we ranked

Scored on skin-of-color formulation expertise (explicit training and protocol vs retrofitted intake), prescriber credentials (MD vs NP / PA), cost, and treatment scope (acne, hyperpigmentation, PFB, keloids). Refreshed October 2026.
