How Apostrophe compares
Apostrophe differentiates from Curology on prescriber type (board-certified dermatologists vs. supervised NPs/PAs) and formulary breadth. Apostrophe can prescribe oral medications including spironolactone and oral antibiotics, which Curology cannot. For patients with hormonal acne, moderate-to-severe inflammatory acne, or hair loss requiring oral treatment, Apostrophe is the stronger clinical choice. For patients focused purely on topical tretinoin or anti-aging with no systemic treatment needed, Curology's subscription model offers lower ongoing cost.
About
Apostrophe is a prescription dermatology telehealth platform where board-certified dermatologists review patient skin concerns and prescribe personalized treatment plans. Unlike platforms that use supervised nurse practitioners, Apostrophe's clinical team consists of fully credentialed dermatologists, giving it a clinical depth advantage for patients who require physician-level judgment. The platform treats acne, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, dark spots, anti-aging, and hair loss. Apostrophe's formulary extends beyond topicals to include oral medications: spironolactone for hormonal acne, oral antibiotics (doxycycline, minocycline) for inflammatory acne, and finasteride for hair loss. Patients pay a one-time consultation fee and then have prescriptions managed on an ongoing basis without recurring platform fees. Apostrophe is the appropriate choice when a patient's condition is complex enough to warrant physician oversight or when a topical-only approach has been insufficient. For straightforward acne or anti-aging where topical tretinoin is the goal, the cost difference between Apostrophe and lower-priced subscription platforms is minimal and the clinical outcome similar.
What's Included
Convenience
Pricing
Apostrophe charges a $20 one-time consultation fee (refunded if you don't receive a prescription). Custom compounded topical formulas start at approximately $20–$45/month. Brand-name or generic oral medications are filled through your pharmacy — pricing depends on your pharmacy and insurance. There is no recurring platform or membership fee.
Who this is best for
Adults with moderate-to-severe acne that hasn't responded to topical treatment, patients who need oral medications (spironolactone, antibiotics), those seeking physician-level oversight for their skin care, or anyone managing rosacea, hair loss, or hyperpigmentation who wants a dermatologist's assessment rather than a supervised mid-level provider.
What to expect
Pay the $20 consultation fee and complete a skin intake form with photos of the affected area. A board-certified dermatologist reviews your case within 24 hours and creates a personalized prescription plan. Topical prescriptions are compounded and shipped; oral medications are sent to your preferred pharmacy. Follow-up consultations and prescription refills are available through the platform.
How to book
