MDacne Hydrating Facial Cleanser with 0.5% Salicylic Derivative — 2 oz, Gentle Hydrating Acne Cleanser

MDacne Hydrating Facial Cleanser is a 2 oz daily face wash formulated with a gentle 0.5% salicylic acid derivative and plant-based hydrators to remove oil, unclog pores, and support clearer-looking skin without over-drying.

This lightweight cleanser was developed by MDacne to combine pore-unclogging efficacy with skin-friendly hydration. Instead of using full-strength salicylic acid that can strip moisture, it uses a milder form of the ingredient alongside botanical extracts and vitamins to cleanse, soothe, and help maintain the skin’s natural barrier. The formula is vegan, paraben- and silicone-free, and made in the USA.

How does this cleanser clear pores without drying skin?

The product contains a specialized 0.5% salicylic acid derivative designed to penetrate and loosen debris inside pores while minimizing irritation. Complementary humectants and soothing botanicals help preserve hydration so the skin doesn’t feel tight after rinsing.

• 0.5% salicylic acid form targets pore congestion gently
• Vitamin E and cucumber extract help retain moisture
• Green tea extract provides calming antioxidant support

What additional active botanicals are included and why?

Beyond the active salicylic derivative, the cleanser blends plant-based ingredients chosen to balance oil control and skin tone. These ingredients work together to support the skin’s appearance and comfort during regular use.

• Licorice extract helps fade brown spots and evens tone
• Vitamin C supports natural skin renewal and brightness
• Cucumber reduces transepidermal water loss and soothes

Is this product safe for sensitive or daily use?

Formulated to limit irritation compared with stronger salicylic preparations, the cleanser is gentle enough for daily washing when used as directed. It is dermatologist-designed and free from parabens, silicones, and gluten for a milder profile.

• Dermatologist designed and formulated
• Non-toxic, vegan, and cruelty-free ingredients
• Suitable for routine morning or evening cleansing

How should I incorporate it into my skin routine?

Use this cleanser as the first step in your skincare routine to remove oil, dirt, and makeup residue. Apply a small amount to damp skin, massage gently, then rinse and follow with moisturizer and targeted treatments as needed.

• Apply to damp skin and massage for 30–60 seconds
• Rinse thoroughly and pat skin dry
• Pair with SPF in daytime and your preferred serum or moisturizer
