Your questions, answered

What is MDacne Salicylic Acid 2.0% Treatment Cream and how does it work?

MDacne Salicylic Acid 2.0% Treatment Cream is a medicated cream with 2% micronized salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid derived from willow bark. Salicylic acid is oil-soluble, so it works inside the pore to dissolve the plug that causes blackheads, whiteheads and new breakouts.

Is MDacne Salicylic Acid 2.0% Treatment Cream better than other salicylic acid products?

MDacne Salicylic Acid 2.0% Treatment Cream micronizes the salicylic acid, which delivers it into the pore with less irritation than standard salicylic acid. Green tea, aloe vera, cucumber and vitamin E reduce inflammation and support hydration, so exfoliation does not leave your skin tight. Best for teens and adults with mild acne, oily skin and blackheads.

MDacne Salicylic Acid 2.0% or benzoyl peroxide — which works better for acne?

MDacne Salicylic Acid 2.0% Treatment Cream suits clogged pores, blackheads, whiteheads and rough texture, because it exfoliates inside the pore, and it is a good option for people who cannot tolerate benzoyl peroxide. Benzoyl peroxide is the better choice for red, inflamed pimples, since it kills acne bacteria. Some people alternate the two nightly.

How long does MDacne Salicylic Acid 2.0% Treatment Cream take to work?

MDacne Salicylic Acid 2.0% Treatment Cream usually improves blackheads and rough texture within three to four weeks. Fewer breakouts and clearer skin typically take eight to twelve weeks of nightly use. Dark spots left by old pimples fade more slowly, over several months.

How do you apply MDacne Salicylic Acid 2.0% Treatment Cream?

MDacne Salicylic Acid 2.0% Treatment Cream goes on at night to clean, dry skin. Put a pea-sized amount on your finger and touch your forehead, chin and both cheeks, then spread it thinly. Keep the cream away from your eyes, eyelids and lips.

Is MDacne Salicylic Acid 2.0% Treatment Cream safe for sensitive skin?

MDacne Salicylic Acid 2.0% Treatment Cream is formulated for sensitive, acne-prone skin and is oil-free and non-comedogenic. Mild dryness or light flaking in the first weeks is normal, so drop to every other night and moisturize. Avoid the cream if you are allergic to aspirin or salicylates.

Salicylic Acid 2.0% Treatment Cream and Hydrating Cleanser Review
I initially bought the trial for the Salicylic Acid 2.0% Treatment Cream and Hydrating Cleanser to help hydrate but also dry out cyst like pimples (I do not have cystic acne but occasionally get those bumps with no head). I’ve found that the cleaners is a light and not rough on my skin. The salicylic acid treatment works wonders overnight to dry out these pimples (even when they first form). It’s important to use a moisturizer with these products to not dry your skin out too much. But putting a small drop of the salicylic cream on the head of the pimple usually reduces the head within 24-48hrs. For no prescription cream, I enjoy it a lot and will be continuing to use in my skincare routine. Highly suggest trying these products.

Moisturizer feels like a bad fit for my skin
This moisturizer just may not be the right product for my skincare journey. With my customized cleanser and treatment cream having salicylic acid as the active ingredient, my skin feels pretty tight and I can tell that it desperately needs a more hydrating moisturizer to finish off the routine. It irritates my sensitive areas (chin, neck, around/under the eyes) to the point where it feels like it’s ruining the progress that the treatment and cleanser are doing.
