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.

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.

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.

Clear skin thanks to Mdacne
I’ve been using MDacne products for a while now, and I’m really impressed with the results. My acne has cleared up significantly, and my skin feels smoother and healthier. The personalized treatment plan made it easy to stick to a routine, and the cleanser is especially amazing – it’s gentle but effective, leaving my skin feeling clean without drying it out. Thank you, MDacne, for helping me achieve clearer skin! I’d love to continue using your products and would really appreciate it if you could send me another cleanser. Highly recommend to anyone struggling with acne!

Honestly impressed. Super amazing!
I’ve been using my MDacne Custom Acne Kit for about two weeks now, and I’m honestly impressed with the results so far. The Hydrating Cleanser is incredible--right from the first use, my skin felt soft, refreshed, and genuinely hydrated. It has a nice texture that doesn’t leave my skin feeling stripped or dry. Instead, it feels smoother and even looks brighter! The Benzoyl Peroxide Night Treatment Cream is surprisingly tolerable. I was a bit worried about irritation, but so far, my skin has adjusted well. It also smells really nice, and I can already see an improvement in my breakouts. Even in just two weeks, it seems to be working wonders! The Custom Moisturizer ties everything together perfectly. It keeps my face hydrated and smooth all day long without feeling greasy or heavy. My skin stays comfortable, and I don’t experience any dryness or tightness, which is a huge plus. Overall, my experience with MDacne has been amazing so far. It’s rare to find a skincare routine that feels this good and actually shows results so quickly.

worth the buy!!!
Box came quickly, directions were easy to follow, the face wash smells amazing, and it started working the first night I used it. My skin has already felt softer, glowing. I definitely will continue using this product.

It’s really nice even if you have super sensitive skin
I was initially worried about how this would affect my skin since my face is extremely sensitive. Almost every cream I’ve tried has made my face red burn and even puff up. But what I got actually felt really nice against my skin. It’s very refreshing and makes me feel good. The scent is also lovely and almost fragrance-like yet it doesn’t irritate my skin at all. It reminds me of stepping out of a refreshing shower which just adds to how nice it feels. My skin is not only very prone to irritation but also dries out and gets flaky incredibly fast yet this has been working really well for me. I’m still in my first month of using it and luckily I’m not experiencing a purging stage. My face has just gone straight to the starting to clear up stage. Even small amounts of the moisturiser go a long way which is fantastic and it feels incredibly refreshing on my skin. One thing I wish they would change is the size of the products. I have the cleanser the day moisturiser and the night treatment and I feel like they could be a bit bigger. That being said it’s really reassuring knowing that I can contact a dermatologist at any time and say “oh hey so I’m worried about…” and get advice on what to do. The only issue I had was with the delivery service. The website mentioned a possible two-day delay but throughout the entire process it only said they had received the information and gave no further updates. That was a bit frustrating but once my package arrived I was emailed immediately so I at least knew it was there which was nice. Also the packaging is really cute.
