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.

I HAVE HAD MY UPS AND DOWNS AND ITH…
I HAVE HAD MY UPS AND DOWNS AND ITH MDACNE. I am going on 600 days with my customized treatment plan. For about a year I had the wrong ingredients in my night treatment but i didn’t use the app too much so I didn’t realize that dr Harth had actually reached out to me to see if I would want to change it to be more effective for me. So after we changed my night creams from salicylic acid to sulfur and benzoyl peroxide, I started to notice real changes. I don’t like the customer service, I got mad at them before and said I was starting to think they’re a scam and the lady put a block on my subscription and I had to basically beg her to put it back. They are not allowed to give any info on other products unless they’re telling you not to use it because it’s bad. So they’re a little sketchy. But overall; after I got my ingredients adjusted , it really started to work. I’m on the fence. I have they’re pimple patches and Pink Clay Mask too, both products are great. I’d like to see if they can make my cleanser without fragrance and see if that would help too. My acne is moderately better than it’s been in years so I’m not complaining, but I say trust the process and be patient , USE THE RESOURCES IN CASE YOU NEED ADJUSTMENTS, and if you don’t think it’s for you, just cancel your subscription, everyone’s skin is different!

Newest and most successful attempt at taming my mild-moderate acne!
MDACNE is my most recent attempt (and most successful) at clearing my stubborn blackheads. They ship cleanser, super awesome cream that Isn’t oily at all…. Gets absorbed very quickly… and treatment cream based on your AI skin analysis! The best part? You can literally message your care team at midnight and they will respond (usually within minutes). The weekly AI analysis scans make me feel confident that my skin is going in the right direction, and I know that if something is to go awry, that my care team is a click away! I just tried their blackhead pore strips and they got out some DEEP blackheads that biore pore strips wouldn’t dare touch. Zero irritation! New fav!

PCOS
I've been on MDAcne for less than a month so my review may not be as helpful as others. However, I still would like to encourage anyone reading to give it a try. Previously, I was on Curology *for 1 year to be exact*. I like to give my product a fair fight before I dismiss its effectiveness. I do struggle with PCOS (which causes acne) so its been a journey finding a product that makes me look like I have a snap chat filter on :) I switched over to MD ACNE because I liked that along with their night time formula they also had a medicated face wash. There were ingredients that I was severely allergic to BUT MDAcne did their best to accommodate me and still presented me with a formula that works ( so far). I am experiencing purging ( as expected ) also some dryness (which is normal, I'm told). All in all, the product smells amazing. The products hasnt caused any severe allergic reactions, like most acne products do. Again, it's worth a shot. When you have acne unfortunately everything is trial and error. Get your 'sample' test it out. My hopes for myself and everyone is that we will get the skin of our dreams. If not, at least your face will smell yummy lol. Happy Holidays!

Skin Barrier!
Took a very long time for this to arrive. I was suffering from mild/moderate acne mainly on my forehead and have had this for around 13 years. These products damaged my skin and made my hyperpigmentaton worse. Save your money and invest in a simple gentle non fragranced cleanser and spf. Focus on fixing your skin barrier and your skin will get better. These products irritate your skin barrier and tend to make acne worse. Thanks for listening all the best on your skincare journeys. God bless. Jesus is Lord x
