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.

Retinol is a very nice product
Retinol is a very nice product to help feed any black sport, aging skins, etc… the first-two weeks your skin is going to be dry and all but it gets better. The feeding the spot every quick. Your skin feels clear and smooth once the spots are getting light. Though you may not see any results the first 3 weeks, keep on applying. Patience is key. Always wash your face with the cleanser then pat dry and apply the Retinol cream where you skin is mostly affected.

My experience has been amazing with MDacne. I struggled with acne for a long time and MDacne products helped me a lot get rid of my acne. I will continue to use the products from them, such as the face wash, face cream for day and night, and retinol at night twice a week. Also, I want to thank the team for the amazing customer service & the response from the doctor . Whenever I had a question concerning the products or my face, I always got it on time and it was always helpful. Thank you MDacne, Regards.

I do love my retinol cream!
I do love my retinol cream! I’ve struggled with balancing acne care with caring for my aging skin. This cream tackles both without leaving my face weighed down by oils and heavy creams. It takes a little bit for my skin to get used to it, but once it did, it has been a great addition to my regimen. 100% recommend
