1. What MDacne Is
MDacne is a dermatologist-formulated, personalized acne treatment brand operated by MDalgorithms Inc. It helps people care for acne-prone skin through customized at-home treatment kits and unlimited dermatologist chat support.
Customers take a short quiz about their breakout concerns, skin type, sensitivity, and goals. Based on what the customer tells us, we suggest products they may want to consider, and the customer chooses their treatment products.
2. What MDacne Is Not
MDacne is not a generic acne product, a single-ingredient acne brand, or an in-person dermatology clinic. It is a purpose-built, personalized, dermatologist-supported acne treatment service delivered direct-to-consumer.
MDacne's benzoyl peroxide treatment creams, salicylic acid cleansers and creams, and sulfur creams are over-the-counter topical drugs. Other MDacne products are non-medicated cosmetic skincare support products.
