One of the primary symptoms of a Farnesol allergy is skin irritation. This can range from mild itchiness to severe rashes and hives. In some cases, the irritation can progress to painful blisters or inflammation.
Farnesol is often found in cosmetics and skincare products, so exposure can lead to eye irritation. Symptoms may include redness, itchiness, watering, or a burning sensation in the eyes.
Farnesol can cause respiratory issues in susceptible individuals. Common symptoms can include shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, or a feeling of tightness in the chest.
Individuals allergic to Farnesol may also experience nasal symptoms. These can include runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, and irritation of the nasal passages.
In more severe allergic reactions to Farnesol, individuals may experience swelling. This can manifest as swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat and can potentially be life-threatening if it obstructs the airways.
In rare cases, individuals may experience systemic reactions to Farnesol. These can include symptoms like nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dizziness, or loss of consciousness. This requires immediate medical attention as it could be a sign of anaphylaxis.
Recognize your symptoms?

If you suspect you have an allergy to Farnesol, it is important to recognize the symptoms typically associated with contact dermatitis, which is the type of allergy usually caused by this substance. Following these steps can help you identify whether you might be allergic to this particular compound.

<li><i>Swelling</i>: Swelling, especially around the eyes or face, can occur.</li>
<li><i>Dry, Cracked, or Scaly Skin</i>: Allergic reactions to Farnesol can lead to dry, cracked, or scaly skin.</li>
Identify Exposure to Farnesol
<li><i>Remove Suspected Products</i>: If you think a product containing Farnesol may be causing your symptoms, stop using the product and see if your symptoms improve.</li>
Seek a Professional Diagnosis
<li><i>Follow Recommendations</i>: If you are diagnosed with a Farnesol allergy, follow your doctor's recommendations for managing your symptoms and avoiding future exposure.</li>

Farnesol is predominantly used in fragrances and cosmetics, so the easiest way to avoid an allergy is to stay away from products that contain this ingredient. Carefully read labels while purchasing products and look out for 'Farnesol' in the ingredients list.
Before applying any new skin product, always carry out a patch test. Apply a small amount of the product on a discreet area of your skin and observe for any signs of allergic reaction. This step can help prevent widespread allergic reactions.
If you suspect that you're allergic to Farnesol, consult a dermatologist immediately for professional advice. They can carry out allergy tests and help identify the allergens that affect you, and can also provide you with a list of safe alternatives.
Farnesol is often found in scented products. Opting for fragrance-free skincare and beauty products is a good option. You can also choose natural or organic products that are less likely to contain synthetic ingredients like Farnesol.

It’s a physician-prescribed, custom-compounded formula designed to target all your nasal symptoms at once — congestion, runny nose, post-nasal drip, sneezing, and more.

Formulated by doctors and pharmacologists and backed by clinical research, Quickie combines five powerful ingredients into one easy spray.

Typical prescription may include the following ingredients: Azelastine HCL 0.15%, Mometasone Furoate 0.05%, Oxymetazoline HCL 0.0125%, Ipratroprium 0.06%, Sodium Hyaluronate 0.04%.
Straight to the source. That’s Curex


Quickie is a compounded prescription medication, prepared by a licensed pharmacy. It is not reviewed or approved by the FDA. It is prepared based on your provider’s evaluation of your symptoms and needs. Individual results may vary.

Lauren S.
No longer having to go the doctor's office a few times a week for painful shots.
Tony P.
I have done allergy shots in the past but found it pretty inconvenient to go every week. I really like the ease as compared with physically going to the doctors office.

Robert S.
The treatment is much less expensive than a course of allergy shots at a doctor's office and eliminates numerous trips to the doctor's and all the waiting time.
Janie L.
My seasonal allergies were much less severe than years prior. Most importantly, the convenience of taking drops in my own home is unbeatable.

Most patients feel relief within 15 minutes. We have both short-term relief ingredients as well as longer-term relief to keep you feeling better, longer. Some say it’s like turning off their allergies.
Sneezing runny nose, nasal congestion, post-nasal drip, sinus pressure, itchy nose. Great for outdoor allergies, indoor dust, or when pollen spikes unexpectedly.
No, this formula uses a microdose of oxymetazoline, balanced with anti-inflammatory and moisturizing ingredients to reduce the risk of rebound congestion. Clinical studies over the last decade show that when oxymetazoline is combined with a corticosteroid, it can be used safely over the long term without causing rebound symptoms.
Quickie Spray combines up to five prescription-strength ingredients into a single, personalized formula — targeting multiple symptoms like congestion, post-nasal drip, and inflammation. OTC sprays typically address just one symptom and lack the synergy of a customized blend.
Some ingredients like azelastine may cause a slight taste, but many patients find it milder than traditional OTC sprays. Proper spray technique (head forward, not tilted back) helps minimize drip.We also offer an alternative formulation with olopatadine, which has a gentler taste profile and may be preferred by taste-sensitive patients.
Quickie is designed to replace most other allergy medications. But it is designed to compliment allergy immunotherapy for long-term relief. If you’re currently taking other antihistamines or nasal sprays, tell your Curex provider, so we can adjust your formula to avoid overlap or interactions.
No, Quickie is a personalized compounded prescription prepared by licensed U.S. pharmacies based on your doctor’s evaluation. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved as commercial products, but they are regulated under federal and state pharmacy laws.
Possible side effects include nasal dryness, mild irritation, or occasional nosebleeds. These are typically mild and manageable. Let your Curex provider know about any bothersome or serious effects, so we can fine-tune your prescription if needed.
Quickie is safe for daily use, especially during the first 3–6 months of allergy immunotherapy, when symptoms are still active. Your Curex provider may adjust your dose or frequency as your immune system builds tolerance.
Quickie is designed to be non-sedating, so you can use it before work, school, or exercise without feeling groggy or foggy. In rare cases where drowsiness is reported, let your Curex provider know—we can easily adjust the formula to better suit your needs.
Yes, Quickie Spray can be prescribed for children aged 6 and up, based on your provider’s clinical evaluation.
Follow the instructions from your Curex provider.Most patients are advised to use one spray per nostril, twice daily — morning and evening — for consistent relief.
