A very common symptom of Self-Tanners allergy is developing a rash or hives. These will be characterized by red, itchy patches of skin that can occur anywhere on the body.
In more serious cases, an allergy to Self-Tanners can cause difficulty in breathing. This can manifest in tightness in the chest, wheezing, or shortness of breath.
An allergic reaction may cause swelling or puffiness, particularly in the face, lips, or around the eyes. This can occur soon after exposure to the allergen.
Dizziness and feeling faint is a severe allergic reaction symptom. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience this after using a self-tanner.
This symptom involves experiencing a burning or itching sensation on the skin. It is often the first sign of an allergic reaction and is usually localized to the area where the self-tanner was applied.
In severe reactions, blistering of the skin may occur. These are fluid-filled bumps that pop up on the skin, adding to discomfort and posing a risk for secondary infections if not treated promptly.

Select self-tanning lotions and creams that are hypoallergenic, as these products are unlikely to cause allergic reactions. Checking the label of a product to ensure that it contains no harmful chemicals or allergens can help prevent allergies.
Before applying a self-tanner broadly, perform a patch test by applying a small amount of the product on your skin and wait for 24 to 48 hours. If no allergic reaction occurs, it is likely safe for broader application.
Dry skin can be more sensitive and prone to allergic reactions. Keeping your skin moisturized and nourished with natural creams and lotions can reduce the risk of allergy. Moreover, hydrated skin will evenly absorb the self-tanner.
If you have a history of allergic reactions to skincare products, it's best to consult a dermatologist before using a self-tanner. They can provide recommendations based on your skin type and allergy history.

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.
