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.

Excellent quality🙂
The trial shipment of MD Acne arrived quickly. I was looking for an alternative to using Differin or Retin-A again. The MD Acne face wash is excellent quality and smells great. The 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne treatment works and is also excellent quality. I have not tried the niacinamide moisturizer yet. I have been using the MD Acne trial kit for a week and my complexion is improving. Thank you, MD Acne!

Cleanser is wonderful
I’m just starting my regimen and it’s been a week now and I’m loving the cleanser 100%. My fave feels so clean and refreshed when I use it. I will give an update once I’ve used for about a month or two. But right now I’m loving it so far but will follow back up.

So far I’ve really enjoyed trying MDacne!
So far I’ve really enjoyed the products. They are not overly drying or irritating to my skin. The face wash leaves my skin feeling moisturized and fresh feeling! I’m hopeful that over the next several weeks I will notice a great change in my skin!

I am loving it
I just started using the face products and I'm loving it. The combination of cleanser, moisturiser, face treatment and nose pack is perfect for my face. I wish my pack came with more of the nose mask though. With consistency, better results will be achieved as I already have noticeable improvements on my face in 1 week

Something I definitely enjoy about…
Something I definitely enjoy about MDacne is that the first month is free, this way I can experiment with it and see if it helps me out. Something I dislike is that you can’t purchase a single cleanser, you have to buy a combo of 3 which in certain circumstances is very difficult and expensive.
