MDacne Hydrating Facial Cleanser — 0.5% Salicylic Acid, 2 oz | Gentle, Hydrating Acne Wash with Vitamin E & Green Tea

MDacne Hydrating Facial Cleanser is a 2 oz, plant-enhanced face wash with a gentle 0.5% salicylic acid formulation that helps remove oil, dirt and unclog pores while supporting skin hydration.

This cleanser pairs a low-irritation form of salicylic acid with hydrating botanicals so you can cleanse acne-prone skin without stripping moisture. Formulated by dermatology-minded creators, it aims to balance pore-clearing and soothing ingredients—Vitamin E, green tea, cucumber, licorice and Vitamin C—into a compact daily wash suitable for sensitive complexions. The product is vegan, cruelty-free, free of parabens and silicones, and made in the USA.

How does this cleanser help reduce breakouts without drying skin?

The formula uses a special 0.5% salicylic acid designed to penetrate and help clear clogged pores while producing less irritation than standard versions. Hydrators such as Vitamin E, cucumber extract, and green tea help maintain the skin’s barrier so cleansing does not leave skin tight or flaky.

• 0.5% salicylic acid for pore exfoliation with lower irritation
• Vitamin E and green tea to support moisture and calmness
• Cucumber extract to reduce water loss and support natural barrier
• Non-stripping formulation suited for daily use

Will this product help fade dark spots and even skin tone?

While a cleanser is not a targeted fading treatment, the inclusion of licorice extract and Vitamin C supports even tone over time by helping reduce the appearance of post-acne discoloration. Regular gentle cleansing can complement other targeted serums or treatments in your routine.

• Licorice extract helps reduce visible brown spots
• Vitamin C supports a more uniform skin tone
• Consistent use helps prep skin for additional topical treatments

How should I use MDacne Hydrating Cleanser in my daily routine?

Use twice daily—morning and night—for best results, massaging a small amount onto damp skin and rinsing thoroughly. Follow with toner, serum or moisturizer appropriate for acne-prone skin and apply sunscreen during the day.

• Apply to damp skin, massage gently, then rinse
• Pair with hydrating, non-comedogenic moisturizers
• Use sunscreen after morning routine to protect treated skin

Is this cleanser safe for sensitive or vegan skincare routines?

Yes. The product is formulated without parabens, silicones, or gluten and is labeled vegan and cruelty-free. Its milder salicylic acid form and added hydrators were selected to reduce common irritation while supporting acne-prone skin.

• Dermatology-designed, made in the USA
• Vegan and cruelty-free, non-toxic formulation
• Free from parabens, silicones, and gluten

Who is this for: MDacne Hydrating Facial Cleanser fits people with oily, combination, or acne-prone skin who want a gentler pore-unclogging wash that also supports hydration.
