How to Use

Apply your retinol cream at night on clean, dry skin. In the beginning, apply it twice per week, and gradually increase the application frequency.

Always apply sunscreen when outdoors.

Your questions, answered

What is MDacne Retinol 0.5% Treatment Cream and how does it work?

MDacne Retinol 0.5% Treatment Cream is a high-strength cosmetic night cream with 0.5% pure retinol and 4% niacinamide. Retinol becomes retinoic acid in the skin, increasing cell turnover to help keep pores clear and soften fine lines. Niacinamide hydrates and helps fade post-acne dark spots.

Is MDacne Retinol 0.5% Treatment Cream better than other high-strength retinol creams?

MDacne Retinol 0.5% Treatment Cream buffers its 0.5% retinol with 4% niacinamide, aloe vera, chamomile and calendula, so you get stronger renewal with less of the peeling high-strength retinol usually causes. The cream is vegan, cruelty-free and free of parabens, sulfates and silicones.

MDacne Retinol 0.5% or 0.25% — which retinol strength suits your skin?

MDacne Retinol 0.5% Treatment Cream is best for people who already tolerate retinol well, since it is twice as potent as 0.25%. If your skin is sensitive, dry or new to retinoids, start with MDacne Retinol 0.25% Treatment Cream and move up after a few months.

How long does MDacne Retinol 0.5% Treatment Cream take to work?

MDacne Retinol 0.5% Treatment Cream usually smooths texture and reduces clogged pores within six to eight weeks, with clearer tone and softer fine lines by three months. Because you begin at twice weekly and build up, the first month is mostly your skin adapting.

How do you apply MDacne Retinol 0.5% Treatment Cream at night?

MDacne Retinol 0.5% Treatment Cream goes on at night to clean, dry skin, twice a week to start, increasing slowly. A pea-sized amount covers the whole face: touch forehead, chin and both cheeks, then spread thinly, avoiding eyes, eyelids and lips. Wear sunscreen every morning.

Can MDacne Retinol 0.5% Treatment Cream cause purging or peeling at first?

MDacne Retinol 0.5% Treatment Cream can cause dryness, flaking and a temporary rise in breakouts in the first two to six weeks, as turnover speeds up. Cut back to once a week, moisturize, and rebuild frequency once your skin settles.

Who should not use MDacne Retinol 0.5% Treatment Cream?

MDacne Retinol 0.5% Treatment Cream is not recommended during pregnancy or nursing. Skip this strength if your skin is very reactive or already irritated, and use MDacne Retinol 0.25% Treatment Cream instead. Daily sunscreen is required, since retinol makes your skin more sun-sensitive.

AVOID
I wrote this review and MDacne got it removed, clearly trying to hide their bad service. Awful customer service, lock you into a subscription and you can’t cancel all but 10 seconds after as apparently the order has been shipped when it hasn’t. Fraudulent practise. Somehow held my updated card details even though I hadn’t been a member for over 2 years. Avoid. Moisturiser is drying and it’s not a custom set as all the sets are the same except you may get hydrating or retinol. Cera Ve so the exact same for much cheaper and no subscription.

Overall experience so far.
Its almost been a month and in already seeing some results the benzoyl peroxide is leave on overnight which I greatly appreciate. Havent been using the moisturizer since I use a seperate face wash for night time which has everything thats in it already and I want the dryness. The face wash is good for sensitive skin even with the saliclyc acid in it I havent noticed any cons so far. Might add a retinol product for my moisturizer. Good experience so far.

I have been using MDacne products for a 2 years and won’t stop anytime soon!!
I have been using MDacne products for a couple of years now and I’m super impressed with all of the products!! I love how they do what they’re supposed to do and they don’t dry out my skin!! I’ve recently added the retinol cream and pimple patches and they work great!!
