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.

10/10 recommend
Firstly, it arrived faster than I expected. The face wash smells amazing on top of feeling amazing and the products are easy to use. After just a week or two of using them I’ve noticed my skin feels and looks much better and my breakouts have lessened. For what I got with my money it’s completely worth it!

Easily the best cleanser I've used in a while
I was genuinely impressed with this customized skincare kit from start to finish. The information provided about each product and what to expect when first using them was incredibly accurate and helpful, making the entire experience feel personalized and well thought out. The packaging was beautiful, with a clean, premium design that really stood out. While the items could have been shipped in a smaller box for such a small order, everything arrived in perfect condition. The standout product for me was the cleanser—it was absolutely incredible. It left my skin feeling deeply clean without ever feeling stripped or tight. My skin felt softer, fresher, and noticeably calmer after each use, and it quickly became my favorite part of the routine. It's one of the best cleansers I've tried. The only thing I would have liked to see included is a more soothing or intensely hydrating product for the days when my skin feels especially dry and irritated. I also ordered the skin-clearing vitamins and minerals. It's still too early for me to comment on the results, but I will say the smell is quite strong, and the taste lingers for a while afterward. I'm hopeful they'll be worth it once I've had more time to see the benefits. Overall, I'm very happy with my experience and would definitely recommend this customized kit—especially for the amazing cleanser, which exceeded my expectations.

Light weight non oily
I love how light weight the moisturizer is and the acne cream is and how non oily they are and the face wash is very nice on my skin I have yet to notice a difference but that is also because I have yet to noticed a difference but that is probably because I haven’t been using it very long.
