How to Use

In the evening, apply a thin layer to the entire areas affected with dark spots. When using the dark spot remover, it is important to avoid excessive sun exposure and apply a daily sunscreen in the mornings (SPF 30). If you still have any active acne, it is best to use a nighttime acne treatment cream and the dark spot remover on alternating nights.

Your questions, answered

What is the MDacne Advanced Dark Spot Remover and how does it work?

MDacne Advanced Dark Spot Remover is a nightly cosmetic cream designed to help fade acne- and sun-induced dark spots. Alpha-Arbutin and bearberry extract interrupt excess pigment production, while alpha and beta hydroxy acids speed surface turnover. Vitamin E and aloe support and calm the skin barrier.

Is MDacne Advanced Dark Spot Remover better than other brightening products?

MDacne Advanced Dark Spot Remover combines two mechanisms dermatologists rely on: Alpha-Arbutin with bearberry to limit new pigment, and glycolic plus salicylic acid to shed pigmented cells. The formula is oil-free and hydroquinone-free, so it is best for acne-prone skin and works across all skin tones, including deeper ones.

MDacne Advanced Dark Spot Remover or Peptide Scar Cream for post-acne marks?

MDacne Advanced Dark Spot Remover is the choice when your marks are brown or dark pigment, and it is best for deeper skin tones prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. MDacne Peptide Scar Cream is the choice when your concern is uneven texture, redness, and enlarged pores rather than color.

How long does MDacne Advanced Dark Spot Remover take to fade dark spots?

MDacne Advanced Dark Spot Remover brightens skin for some people in as little as one week, though meaningful fading of established post-acne pigment usually takes two to three months of nightly use. Daily SPF 30 matters here, because sun exposure re-darkens spots faster than any cream can fade them.

How do you apply MDacne Advanced Dark Spot Remover at night?

MDacne Advanced Dark Spot Remover goes on in the evening as a thin layer over the whole area affected by dark spots, not just individual marks. Follow with SPF 30 every morning. If you still have active breakouts, alternate nights between your acne treatment cream and this one.

Is MDacne Advanced Dark Spot Remover safe for sensitive or darker skin?

MDacne Advanced Dark Spot Remover is oil-free and formulated to be safe for all skin tones, including deeper ones, and for sensitive acne-prone skin. The hydroxy acids and retinyl palmitate can cause mild tingling, dryness, or flaking in the first two weeks. Drop to every other night until your skin adjusts.

Can you use MDacne Advanced Dark Spot Remover while pregnant or nursing?

MDacne Advanced Dark Spot Remover contains retinyl palmitate, a retinoid, so skip it during pregnancy and nursing and ask your obstetrician first. Pair it with your MDacne cleanser and moisturizer freely, but alternate nights with benzoyl peroxide or retinol creams rather than layering them together.

This Product Does Not Work Like It Used To
I have been using the MD Acne Advanced Dark Spot Remover for six months now. I have had dark spots on my face that I have been dealing with for a long while, and have tried many store bought products that have at best, just kept the spots from darkening, but never got rid of them. MD Acne is the only product that made a marked difference. Meaning, I didn't have to use as much concealer to hide the spots and was close to not having to use it at all. That is until recently. And by 'recently', I mean the last two months. I have purchased four Advanced Dark Spot Removers in the last, maybe four to five months. The first two tubes were the ones where I made the most progress. Then, thinking a third tube would eliminate my spots that were now very faded, I ordered another one. And that's when things began to get off track. This product is usually white and has a viscous appearance. Meaning you really have to rub it in to the trouble areas because it is thick like paste. What I received in the tube, had a slight yellow color and was more liquid like. I was not sure I had been sent the right thing but I figured maybe some improvements had been made to this product. The faded dark spots are now dark again. All of my progress vanished. I thought maybe I had been sent a bad batch and ordered another tube. Nope. Same, yellow stuff. I am also back to just maintaining. This new stuff had kept things from getting worse, but is not fading the spots like it used to. I don't know if ingredients used to make this, have been skimped on, but this product has changed, and not for the better.

I would like to speak to a manager
Well where do I start. So my subscription was deactivated. I was not sure about the company but I have tried their products. I was curious about something that removes dark spots from the face. I received a DM from Jessica, G,RN from the medical Team. She stated that they had a treatment for it. So I asked how much it cost. I was the contacted by a representative named Monique. She stated that she was sorry I received this message and that I would not be able to order for any further products. I asked her why I was not able to restart my prescription. She stated that was correct and I will not be able to reactive my subscription. I asked why again. She stated that my account was blocked. On July 14th, I violated terms of my subscription. But then stated that she didn't see that I ended up paying for my kit. She then went on to say that the dark spot remover is $59.95. I told her I am not a thief. And that its crazy how she came out of nowhere with that and I had just receive a message from someone prior to this. I informed her that I was about to restart my subscription but based on this interaction I will not be doing this. She then said she didn't call me a thief. (but she kinda did when she has a customer representative rep didn't look at the notes). The she stated that she added my block because I stated that I would not reactive. And I asked her why she added the block. I inform her she didn't her job correctly before she opened her mouth. I told her you can not block because I was rude and I never cursed during this entire conversation. I asked her for a higher up. She stated someone named Xavier. I asked her for her title and she refused to give me her title. I told her so I'm blocked because you made an error. You really didn't apologize and then I informed her the conversation made me upset and Monique refused to remove the block. I have never experienced rude customer service in my life. And again I never called her a name or was rude.
