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.

11.May 2023. Beware subscription scam with poor unverified products. Updates to follow
11.May 2023. Beware. This company are fraudulently practicing. They secretly put you on an subscription of £55 per month while letting you believe you are receiving ONE free trial of which you have to pay only postage. Once you pay for postage they have your bank card details and start taking unauthorised monies from your account claiming you subscribed. I do not trust the product and after dealing with the company I will never put their product on my skin. Also, on reading the 5* reviews I notice they do not give any specific information about the purchase & product....only that it works?! Very strange. I also notice many of the email accounts look fake. Mdacne also do not reply to the negative reviews only the "positive" reviews. There probably has been more negative reviews which they have removed. Also they definately remove the negative reviews on INSTAGRAM! Big WOW. I have written to MDACNE several times asking to cancel this bogus subscription but each time they refuse to acknowledge me. My bank has now taken up the case as fraud & I will update my review with the progress I have never been so appalled & angered about a company as I have with MDACNE. I recommend you stay well away 🙏🏼 22.May 2023 UPDATE Finally received correspondence from MDAcne confirming the cancellation of my account and the refund of monies taken. However this would never have happened if my bank hadnt gotten involved. My bank immediately cancelled my debit/visa card so MDAcne could no longer access my account and refunded all the monies they had taken. My Bank then went directly to MDAcne who had no choice but to refund the bank (as they had NO proof of receiving direct debit orders from me). I am so glad this ordeal is over and thank my bank profusely for handling it so well. Again, don't trust the 5* reviews re this company as they look fake. I hope my review is helpful. UPDATE JAN 2024:WOW! Received email from trustpilot asking for proof of purchase because Mdacne had requested my review be deleted as they claim it is false & an unverified purchase! Luckily I kept our email correspondence so Trustpilot (who are lovely 😘) hasnt taken it down and I have been able to update it again. The blatant lying from Mdacne brings to mind "Post Office Scandal"... shocking. This has to stop on all levels. Be strong little people! Finally I actually tested their customised sensitive cleanser. It burnt my face and the skin inside my nostrils. I was in pain for days 😭.

Revolutionary!
I recently started using MDAcne and could not be more pleased. My package arrived super fast, the instructions were more than easy to follow, everything is broken down into steps, the app is like it’s very own social media platform that helps you track your progress as well. The customer service is amazing and helps you very quickly if you need any help at all. The products have been wonderful. The face wash smells amazing and I haven’t had any irritation to my skin which was a surprise considering how sensitive my skin is. I’m already noticing a difference in my skin for the better and I just started. I’m already in love!
