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.

Can't recommend MDAcne enough!
I highly recommend using MDacne! I am 28 and have been struggling with acne on my face for almost my entire 20's. I tried almost every product on Amazon, and even paid for very expensive facials from an esthetician every month for a few years, but nothing really worked. MDacne is super affordable, and I love having a skin routine that is personalized for me. All the doctors and nurses are great. They answer my questions, check up on me regularly, and adjust my treatment plan accordingly. Although my skin initially got worse and I was super discouraged, now that I'm in my second month of using, my skin is super clear. I also recommend the Dark Spot remover--it's amazing how well it works at getting rid of my dark spots from persistent acne from over the years. It's a little pricey, but you get a huge bottle for it, and it lasts for a really long time! I've started to feel more confident about my face, and have renewed hope in ending my acne once and for all. Please go give this a try!

These products are the ONLY thing that have worked for me! I’m finally acne free after so many years! And now the dark spot remover is helping clear up scarring and dark spots, my skin is getting more clear every day!

MD acne is a pretty decent company 💕
MD acne is a pretty decent company and I would recommend it to my friends! I’ve literally tried everything prior to obtaining my free trial kit (day cream, night cream, and day+night face wash). The night cream is probably the most effective treatment because it dries up and minimizes my pimples (whiteheads and blackheads) either overnight or the following night. The day medication could be better as I feel like it doesn’t do anything for my skin. The day and night face wash smells so good and I like it a lot. I also brought the dark spot remover about a month ago, it seems to be working but the process is really slow. Too slow for my liking honestly, but that’s probably because I’m impatient lol. I also love that I can reach out to different professionals to tell them what’s working and what’s not working - they changed my medication very quickly as to speed up the process. I hope to see results soon. It’s also nice that they reach out to us and check in to see how our treatment is going.

I used to have really dark pigmentation a few months ago, but now I only have a little pigmentation left thanks to the dark spot remover. I plan to continue using it to get rid of any spots that are slightly still there.

Bad bad bad
Tried the dark spot remover from me acne, definitely clogged my pores. Not long after starting it, and it was the only new thing I added to my regimen, I had blackheads all over my face! Then started getting inflamed acne. DO NOT RECOMMEND WHATSOEVER. Also, no refunds.
