Key Ingredients

Micronized Salicylic Acid 0.5%
Our proprietary, soluble salicylic acid (MDclear™ SalAc) was specifically formulated to provide the highest anti-acne efficacy while minimizing skin irritation. Originally derived from the bark and leaves of the willow tree, it has now been reformulated to a micronized medication, making it a highly effective yet gentle medicated ingredient for sensitive, acne-prone skin.

Treatment Boosters

🍃 Green Tea Extract
Helps fade dark spots, even skin tone, and boost the skin's natural healing.

🌿 Licorice Extract
A potent antioxidant that prevents and helps fade brown spots.

🍊 Vitamin C
Helps lighten pigmentation, even skin tone, and boosts the skin's natural healing.

🌱 Aloe Vera Leaf Extract
Powerful antioxidant that hydrates and soothes the skin.

🥜 Vitamin E
Prevents free-radical skin damage and protects the skin's natural barrier.

How to Use

Wet your face with tepid water (not too hot, not too cold). Gently massage the cleanser over your entire face for 20-30 seconds with clean hands. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a clean towel (do not rub). Recommended for daily use in the morning and evening.

Your questions, answered

What is the MDacne Hydrating Cleanser and how does it work?

MDacne Hydrating Cleanser is a daily medicated face wash with micronized salicylic acid 0.5%. Salicylic acid is oil-soluble, so it gets into the pore and loosens the plug that leads to blackheads and whiteheads. Aloe, green tea, and vitamin E keep the wash from stripping your skin.

Is MDacne Hydrating Cleanser better than a regular acne face wash?

MDacne Hydrating Cleanser pairs a micronized, more soluble form of salicylic acid 0.5% with aloe and antioxidant boosters, so it unclogs pores while protecting your barrier. Most acne washes clear oil but leave skin tight and irritated, which is why people abandon them. Best for dry or over-treated skin.

MDacne Hydrating Cleanser or a stronger medicated salicylic acid cleanser?

MDacne Hydrating Cleanser is already medicated at 0.5% micronized salicylic acid and is best for dry, tight, or easily irritated acne-prone skin, including teens starting a routine. Higher-strength cleansers suit very oily skin with heavy blackheads, but they dry many people out.

How long until MDacne Hydrating Cleanser makes a visible difference?

MDacne Hydrating Cleanser usually makes skin feel less oily within days, while fewer blackheads and whiteheads take four to six weeks of twice-daily use. A cleanser alone rarely clears moderate acne, so treat MDacne Hydrating Cleanser as the first step alongside a treatment cream.

How do you use the MDacne Hydrating Cleanser morning and evening?

MDacne Hydrating Cleanser is used morning and evening: wet your face with tepid water, then massage the cleanser in with clean hands for twenty to thirty seconds. Rinse well and pat dry with a clean towel rather than rubbing, then apply your MDacne treatment cream.

Is the MDacne Hydrating Cleanser safe for sensitive skin?

MDacne Hydrating Cleanser is formulated for sensitive, acne-prone skin and is paraben-free, phthalate-free, and vegan. Some people feel mild tightness in the first week; if that happens, cleanse once daily at night and moisturize afterwards. Avoid it on broken or actively peeling skin.

This company has helped perfect my acne…
This company has helped perfect my acne treatment box to the brim and has helped out throughout my journey with battling my acne. so far it is going very well I have seen a motor difference from when I first started my treatment to now and I just thank MD Acne for helping me out. If you ever need a change in products such as cleansers and daily lotions i recommend you do a survey brought to you by MD acne to see what products you should use to help you and your skin out. And plus it’s cheap for $9 dollars I got 3 products that are still holding up unlike other products and it comes with an instruction manual on what products you should use day and night. For a change in acne checkout MD acne.

I saw a promotion come across my Snapchat back in February of this year, 2026. I stepped out on faith, never heard of this company before (my time ProActive was the craze) and ordered. I received my first shipment and have been using their products since (ONLY 3) and here we are today May 8th, 2026 and I just finished my cleanser. I opened my 2nd and final shipment from them, and was surprised to see a 2 month supply! My skin is glowing and everyone notices. My answer to everyone : All glory to God and thank you MDAcne for keeping my 32 year old hormonal skin beautiful and glowing! 🤝🌹

Been dealing with adult acne since college and finally tried MDacne after seeing the app. The photo scan took 2 minutes and it built me a custom kit instead of the one-size-fits-all stuff. Been using the cleanser, treatment cream, and moisturizer for about 7 weeks. Way less new breakouts on my jawline, old red marks are fading, and it doesn't burn like the 10% BP I used before. The progress tracker in the app actually kept me consistent. First thing that's worked without drying me out. Worth it.
