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.

It even washes my waterproof makeup with ease!
The cleanser feels extremely clean. I get a healthy looking glow from the set! I only use the treatment as needed but I have broken out significantly less since using this system! Thank you!

Great products, and definitely worth a try
I love that it’s a simple and easy skincare routine. The face wash smells great and it’s gentle on my skin. My skin is usually pretty sensitive to certain face wash and it causes my skin to become inflamed and it has a burning sensation. It’s an easy routine that’s very simple to keep up with.

I’ve been on medication for my acne for years. I had to take a break from it and I started using MDacne face wash, treatment cream and moisturiser and my skin has never been this good! Usually when I stop the medication my acne flares up massively straight away, it’s been 3 weeks and apart from a few little spots my skin is really good. I’ve noticed an improvement in my skin texture too. Just be cautious with the treatment cream as it can irritate if you use too much or on thin skin. This is the first time I’ve even had good results from a face wash and treatment cream. I will definitely keep using the products and I hope the results are permanent!

Best products I’ve ever tried
I can’t express how happy I am with these products! So I brought the free bundle and I have to say that: The cleanser is so smooth and smells so gooood! It’s not harsh or drying on my sensitive skin (usually other cleansers are too drying) but this one, even after washing it off, my skin feels amazing and it’s sooooo shiny and healthy! The moisturiser is my favourite. not too thick! You don’t need much of this or any other product to really have enough for your skin, which is really nice! All day, my skin felt super super healthy and It felt younger. Lastly, the night treatment cream is just so lovely on my skin, usually i am skeptical with treatment creams since they’re usually really harsh, but this one is just so soothing and I love pairing it with a night cream of my own and I feel like it really seeps through my pores. When I wake up, my skin feels healthy and more full! It’s only been 3 days and I already feel the effects, my skin is brighter and I feel like all the products work perfectly! This is the first brand, where I had a customised routine that actually worked! I will continue to use this since it hasn’t actually given me any purging, it’s just keeping my skin super healthy and moisturised, and super clean. I’ll recommend these products to anyone that has even the smallest insecurity, because I promise you, they work!!
