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.

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.

INCREDIBLE - absolutely worth a try.
I have tried so many different things and this is by far the best. The creams have kept my skin hydrated and soft which is amazing considering the amount of other treatments that make your face feel like the heel of a foot! At first it was drying but soon the skin adjusts and you notice the difference. You have to stick with it and trust the process, I am on 12 weeks now and my severe acne is now flat and am now focussing on the dark scars. I honestly couldn’t recommend this company any more it is absolutely brilliant and any acne sufferers should most definitely give it a go. I’ve been using the cleanser moisturiser, njght treatment cream and sun cream and have been mega impressed with it all. I have also used the pimple stickers which are fantastic as well. The dermatologists respond to my questions so quickly and give such good advice about all the things I’ve read are good etc. 500* from me x

Great masks a good way for me to keep managing my acne within the workplace and outside of home during covid. Also, the cleansers and treatment creams have been gradually working for me.

Trust me when I say it’s amazing!
I have minimal acne, but it’s stubborn as hell. I also have a really oily forehead and chin, and dry cheeks and nose area. I also have a hard time staying consistent with my routine since my work hours are so crazy. Let me tell you about this stuff. It’s. Amazing. Period. The face cleanser is super smooth, feels like you’re rubbing silk on your face. The MOISTURIZER is on a different planet. It absorbs super quickly into the skin, and keeps my face evenly and minimally oily. This stuff is amazing. If you’re having a hard time to decide, sign up for a month, I truly believe that you’ll stick with it after the first week!!!
