Key Ingredients

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.

Yesss!!
I have struggled with acne for 18 out of the 27 years I've been alive. I have tried every over the counter product, a prescription acne cream, and even proactive without any improvement. I had pretty much lost hope... I saw the ad for MDacne and figured one more try couldn't hurt and if it didn't work, than oh well... Within the first month I noticed a big difference with how my skin felt(not looked.) Some days were better than others. For the first 8 weeks I noticed that my skin was softer, my redness wasn't as bad, and my forehead was almost totally clear. I did experience a dry patches that would come and go, and have disappeared completely now that my skin has gotten used to the products. I have officially been using my customized kit for 10 weeks and my skin is the clearest it's ever been. I do still have visible acne, but not nearly as bad as before. I love MDacne and I'm happy I decided to try it out. The app is super easy to use. I love that you can do a daily check in for acne severity, redness, and dryness. It also asks you if you followed your routine that day. I also love that you get to speak with real dermatologists about any questions and fine tuning you may need for YOUR treatment. They also check in a few times a month to see how everything is going. Your custom kit comes with the face wash, an acne treatment, and a mosturizer. Each tube is clearly labeled (product name and when to use) and a pamphlet with directions, ingredients, and helpful tips.. I recommend MDacne for anyone struggling with acne.

My experience has been amazing with…
My experience has been amazing with MDacne. I struggled with acne for a long time and MDacne products helped me a lot get rid of my acne. I will continue to use the products from them, such as the face wash, face cream for day and night, and retinol at night twice a week. Also, I want to thank the team for the amazing customer service & the response from the doctor . Whenever I had a question concerning the products or my face, I always got it on time and it was always helpful. Thank you MDacne, Regards.

Monthly kit and sunscreen
I have been using the mdacne treatment for two months now and the SPF 30 Oil free sunscreen for one. The treatment with the cleanser and night cream feels very kind to my skin and it cures/dries my pimples within a week. The daily moisturizer has a very light gel texture and absorbes easily. The progress is slow but real. I am very happy with the SPF 30 sunscreen, it is very moisturizing but doesn't feel sticky even when I am sweating.
