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.

I LOVE MDacne
I started this acne program with MDacne in 2021. I used it for about 3 months and noticed a crazy difference. I unsubscribed due to lack of income after an illness. In 2024 I was really struggling with my acne again, and I remembered how much MDacne helped me. They were helpful in chat to help me get the same products as I had in the past. The credits towards shop items ($5 for each box sent out) adds up. I got some pimple patches for free with my order when it came in today. I am in Ontario CANADA and I recieve my box on the 14th every month. (payment date last day of each month) so it is safe to say that it takes about two weeks to come in (for me). I will gladly continue my subscription with MDacne. The products really do work, consistency is key. ALSO I feel i must write this ONLY use a pea sized amount of cleanser and creams, that's how it doesn't run out before the next box comes in. You can adjust when your payment comes out. I love the flexibility of MDacne because if I have a blimp where I cant afford a box, I can set it to ship the NEXT month. So many subscription based companies do NOT allow you to choose when your payment comes out. I recommend MDacne to anyone struggling with hormonal acne/cystic acne. My skin has cleared so so much within the last two months of consistent use of the products. This is not sponsored or anything, I pay for the subscription myself, but it is much cheaper than buying a cleanser, moisturizer, and treatment cream in store *that won't even work this well* it is well worth the money for me. - face almost clear, no active acne
