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.

Best skin care products
Amazing skin products from the cleanser to the treatment cream I’m so happy I found these products my skin is very sensitive so it’s hard for my skin to adapt to skin care products for instance it gets too red ect. But with MD acne my face and skin feels great I have minor break outs due to my birth control but after using their products it has helped that minor issue I love the pink clay mask as well very refreshing feeling and so smooth after just one time use I’m looking into getting more products they have like the sunscreen cream one thing I love about them it’s their products are completely natural based thank you so much MDACNE

The best acne treatment I have tried so far!
My kit came in incredibly fast. I love how everything is fitted to treat you acne. It’s not just the treatment, it’s the cleanser and moisturizer that help you heal as well. The app is super easy to manage and contains many helpful tips.

MD acne is a pretty decent company 💕
MD acne is a pretty decent company and I would recommend it to my friends! I’ve literally tried everything prior to obtaining my free trial kit (day cream, night cream, and day+night face wash). The night cream is probably the most effective treatment because it dries up and minimizes my pimples (whiteheads and blackheads) either overnight or the following night. The day medication could be better as I feel like it doesn’t do anything for my skin. The day and night face wash smells so good and I like it a lot. I also brought the dark spot remover about a month ago, it seems to be working but the process is really slow. Too slow for my liking honestly, but that’s probably because I’m impatient lol. I also love that I can reach out to different professionals to tell them what’s working and what’s not working - they changed my medication very quickly as to speed up the process. I hope to see results soon. It’s also nice that they reach out to us and check in to see how our treatment is going.

Amazing so far!
So far I love the products ! The team of dermatologists and health care advisors makes me feel so comfortable and get back to me very quickly about any questions or concerns I have. I have been following the routine they made for me for almost a week and I haven’t noticed any new breakouts ! I use the hydrating cleanser, customized active moisturizer, the treatment cream and the skin clearing supplements. So far I’m in love with all the products.

My skins gone worse! Do I stop?
Been using the cleanser, moisturiser and spot treatment for 1 month and 13 days now and my skin is worse than what it was when I started! I understand that your skin can get worse before it gets better but my skin has become itchy and sore. My skin to begin with had a few spots but now I have big clusters of acne on my cheeks and neck.
