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.

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.

Amazing acne system!
The acne system has greatly improved my skin in such a short time. The cleanser smells really good and isn't drying. I have oily skin, and this keeps my skin balanced. The moisturizer I'm really loving as well! It smells like the cleanser and works amazingly also as a primer under makeup. Keeps my skin matte, smooth and supple all at once! The night cream also smells fresh, and has decreased my acne significantly. I really do love this system!

The smell of the cleanser is so great
The smell of the cleanser is so great. The moisturizer is amazing I am always so oily so it scares me to use moisturizer on my face in my daily routine... but it actually doesn't affect my oilyness at all. I've only been using MDacne for a couple of weeks.. my face has been breaking out terribly. But, as it states when you sign up you will break out in the beginning that means it is working! Time will tell as I go on if this is going to work for me.

Only Two Weeks and WOW!!!
I have only been using this for two weeks and I can't believe the difference that it has made to my skin. I have never used an acne treatment before because it has never been a problem, I noticed as I am ageing it seems to occur a lot more and in the same spots so I thought I would give this a try after I saw an ad posted on Facebook for a free trial and I am so happy to have found this company. I do find the day cream to be a little drying to my skin and I do like a morning moisturizer that has some SPF in it, which this does not, so I am sticking to the cleanser,night cream and only the cleanser in the morning then my own SPF cream . Yes, it is still making the same amount of progress with my acne, leaving out the cream. Whomever created this is an absolute genius and I just want to thank you for restoring my previous acne free skin to its previous glory!!

Overall Positive
I like how easy the ordering experience was. It does feel customized. I have been using my routine for about 2 weeks now. I'm experiencing some dryness on my forhead and nose but that is usually expected. It did help clear up a breakout I had for about a month on my cheek before starting. I think my skin texture will be better once the dryness clears up but it's hard to tell this early. I'm not sure if the packaging is different for the trial period but I'm not this biggest fan or this would probably be a 5 star review. The face wash pours out if you don't open it carefully and the treatment comes out when you are screwing the lid back on so the threads get all gooey. Overall it's been a pretty positive experience, I'm still not sure with the price but I will probably pay for at least another month and see how it goes. (=
