Frequently Asked 
Questions

1. What is CuralysMD™ and how is it different from other barrier creams or moisturizers?

CuralysMD™ is a topical therapeutic powered by SMRTActiv™ Technology with colloidal oatmeal, a proprietary lipid-based system designed to protect the skin barrier, calm the skin, and rebalance the microbiome. Unlike traditional moisturizers that offer temporary hydration, CuralysMD™ targets the root causes of atopic dermatitis with clinically validated mechanisms and outcomes

2. What are the key ingredients in SMRTActiv™ Technology?

SMRTActiv™ is powered by two patented, plant-derived molecules with Ecocert Cosmos Natural Certification

These ingredients work synergistically to repair structural lipids, reduce pro-inflammatory signaling, and support the skin’s microbiome.

3. Has CuralysMD™ been clinically tested?

Yes. CuralysMD™ has been evaluated in two double-blind, vehicle-controlled clinical trials — one in adults and one in pediatric patients — showing significant improvements in EASI scores, itch relief, and quality of life. It also demonstrated a steroid-sparing effect and was well tolerated in both populations.

4. Is CuralysMD™ safe for pediatric use?

Yes. CuralysMD™ has been tested in children as young as 2 years old. The formulation was well tolerated, with no treatment-related adverse events reported in the pediatric study.

5. Is CuralysMD™ a steroid?

No. CuralysMD™ is non-steroidal and does not contain any corticosteroids or immunosuppressive agents. It can be used as a monotherapy or in combination with prescription topicals as part of a steroid approach.

6. Can CuralysMD™ be used on active flares?

Yes. In clinical studies, patients with active mild-to-moderate AD experienced significant improvement in both symptoms and disease severity when using CuralysMD™ twice daily.

7. What makes CuralysMD™ microbiome-friendly?

Preclinical and clinical studies showed that CuralysMD™ helps reduce overgrowth of Staphylococcus aureus — a key driver of AD flares — while promoting the presence of beneficial flora like S. epidermidis and C. acnes.

8. How should patients use CuralysMD™?

Apply twice daily to clean, dry skin, or as directed by a healthcare provider. It may be used alongside corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, or biologics.
