Short answer: you no longer need one. MDacne used to be a mobile app you downloaded from the App Store or Google Play. It now runs entirely in your web browser, on any phone, tablet or computer. Nothing to install, nothing to update, and the same dermatologist-formulated treatment you came for.

If you went looking for the MDacne app and could not find it, you are in the right place. Here is what changed, and what it means for you.

What happened to the MDacne app

We retired the mobile app and moved everything to mdacne.com.

The reason is simple. Almost everything people used the app for — answering a few questions about their skin, choosing their treatment, tracking their progress and managing their subscription — works just as well in a browser. Running one experience instead of two means we can improve it for everyone on the same day, rather than shipping a change and waiting for app store review. And you never have to update anything to get it.

So instead of maintaining two versions of MDacne, we put everything into one.

What you get on the web

• A short skin quiz. Tell us about your breakout concerns, your skin type, your sensitivities and your goals. It takes about two minutes.
• Your own choice of treatment cream. You pick the night treatment cream you want from our dermatologist-formulated range, with the key facts about each one on screen while you choose.
• A customized kit. Cleanser, treatment cream and moisturizer matched to what you told us, rather than a one-size-fits-all set.
• Progress photos. Add a photo whenever you like so you can see your own before and after, and so our medical support team can follow how your skin is responding.
• Unlimited dermatologist chat support. Ask questions and get your routine fine-tuned as your skin changes.
• Your account, anywhere. Log in from any device. No install, no storage space, no app updates.

If you used the app: nothing changes for you

This is the part people worry about, so let us be direct about it.

Your account is already a web account. MDacne accounts were never app-only. Go to mdacne.com and log in with the same email address you used in the app. Your treatment plan and your order history are all there.

Your subscription is unaffected. MDacne has always handled billing directly, never through the App Store or Google Play. Retiring the app changes nothing about your plan, your price, your renewal date or your payment method. You can manage all of it in your account settings, exactly as before.

You do not need to do anything. No new account, no re-entering payment details, no transferring data. Log in on the web whenever it is convenient, and delete the app once you have.

If anything looks wrong when you log in, contact our support team and we will sort it out.

Is MDacne still available? Yes

To be clear, because this is the question we get most: MDacne is very much still here. We did not shut down. We retired the app and brought everything onto the website. Same team, same formulations, same dermatologist-designed treatment, in one place.
