The MDacne Medicated Dark Spot Remover is the most effective treatment for dark spots and hyper-pigmentation available without a prescription! To get the most out of your treatment, follow the directions below.

How to Apply: When using the Medicated Dark Spot Remover, apply a thin layer of the creams each night to the entire area(s) affected with dark spots. You can also apply an additional small amount of this cream to individual dark spots. 

Using the DSR With Other Topical Treatments: If you are currently using a topical acne treatment (from MDacne or elsewhere), it is best to use the Medicated Dark Spot Remover on alternating nights with your topical nighttime acne treatment. This is also true if you're using other active treatments at night (such as retinol). Use your Dark Spot Remover one night and your other treatment the following night.

Sun Protection: When using the Dark Spot Remover, it is crucial to avoid excessive sun exposure and apply a daily oil-free sunscreen to sun-exposed areas of your face and neck each morning (SPF 30). The MDacne Oil-Free SPF 30 Sunscreen is a great choice as it is formulated for sensitive, acne-prone skin and contains additional ingredients to help treat existing dark spots while preventing new ones from forming.
