How to cancel Mdacne in malaysia: your step-by-step guide to avoiding charges

What Mdacne is and why you might want to cancel

Mdacne is a personalised acne treatment subscription that ships customised skincare kits to your door on a recurring schedule. You answer questions about your skin type, and the company tailors a treatment plan with dermatologist support, then automatically renews your order every month, every 2 months, or every 3 months depending on your chosen plan.

The catch is simple: unless you actively cancel before your next billing date, your payment card will be charged again. Many customers in Malaysia sign up for the free trial offer, then forget the cancellation deadline and wake up to an unexpected RM351.00 charge. That frustration is exactly why Stopee exists: to help you understand the real terms and cancel cleanly, without confusion or hidden charges.

How the subscription billing actually works

Mdacne does not sell individual products. When you pay, you are buying a customised treatment kit plus ongoing formula adjustments and dermatologist support. The company does not accept returns on most products because treatments are personalised to your skin profile, which means stopping your subscription is your only way to stop future charges.

Your billing cycle starts the moment you confirm payment. If you signed up for a 2-month plan at RM252.00, your next charge will arrive 60 days later unless you cancel at least 5 business days before that date. The free 1-month trial converts to a paid plan automatically at RM351.00 every 2 months if you do not cancel in time, so if you are trialling Mdacne, mark your calendar now.

Mdacne pricing and plan options in malaysia

Stopee has identified the main billing tiers that appear in Malaysian checkout pages. Prices vary slightly depending on your location and the ingredients selected, but these are the standard rates you should expect:

Pro tip: Take a screenshot of your checkout page before you confirm payment. This proof shows the exact price, billing cycle, and renewal date. Store it safely-you will need it if you need to dispute a charge later.

Reasons to cancel Mdacne and when you should act

When cancellation makes sense for your skin and budget

Cancelling is the right choice if the products are not working for your acne, if the cost no longer fits your budget, or if you simply prefer to buy skincare products on your own terms without automatic renewal. You might also cancel if you have completed your acne treatment and no longer need ongoing support, or if you want to try a different brand.

The key is to recognise that delays cost you money. Every day you wait past your 5-business-day deadline brings you closer to the next charge. Stopee recommends you cancel as soon as you have made your decision, not the day before your renewal.

What happens if you cancel late or miss the deadline

If your next billing date arrives and you have not cancelled, Mdacne will charge your payment method. Once the charge posts, your options narrow. You can request a refund from the company if you meet their criteria (unopened products, cancellation request within a short window), but the company does not guarantee refunds because treatments are customised.

Your stronger protection comes from Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999, which gives you the right to cancel a distance contract (online or app-based purchase) within 10 calendar days of receipt without penalty. If Mdacne charges you after you cancel, or refuses to refund an unwanted charge, you can escalate to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDNHEP), which enforces consumer rights in Malaysia.

How to cancel Mdacne: step-by-step for each platform

Cancelling directly through the Mdacne website

Stopping your subscription through the official website is the fastest and most documented method. You remain in control of the cancellation timestamp, and you receive immediate confirmation.

1. Go to www.mdacne.com and log in with your email and password.
   • If you have forgotten your password, tap "Forgot password" and reset it using your email.
2. Tap your profile icon or account settings (usually top right of the page).
   • Look for "Account", "Subscription", or "Billing"-the label varies by app version.
3. Find your active subscription and tap "View subscription" or "Manage subscription".
   • You will see your renewal date, plan type, and the amount you will be charged.
4. Tap "Cancel subscription" or "Pause subscription".
   • Warning: Do not tap "Pause" unless you plan to restart it later. Pause is temporary; cancellation is permanent.
   • Some versions offer a reason selector. Choose your reason (optional but helpful for the company).
5. Review the final confirmation screen showing your cancellation date and the date your final charge was processed.
   • Screenshot this confirmation immediately.
6. Tap "Confirm cancellation".
   • You should receive a confirmation email within 1 hour to the email address linked to your account.

Pro tip: Mdacne's website sometimes shows a retention offer (discount for staying). You can skip this and proceed to cancellation, or accept the discount and cancel later if you change your mind. The choice is yours, but once you hit "Confirm", your subscription ends.

Cancelling through the apple app store (iPhone or iPad)

If you subscribed via the App Store, you must cancel through your Apple account, not through the Mdacne app itself. Apple manages the billing, so Mdacne cannot stop the charge on their end.

1. On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.
   • Do not open the Mdacne app yet.
2. Tap your name at the top of the screen.
   • If you see "Sign in with Apple", you are not logged into your Apple ID. Tap "Sign in" first.
3. Tap "Subscriptions".
   • You will see all active subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
4. Find "Mdacne" in the list and tap it.
   • If you do not see Mdacne here, it means you did not subscribe through the App Store. Try the website or Google Play steps instead.
5. Tap "Cancel subscription" or "Edit subscription".
   • A confirmation message will ask if you want to cancel immediately or on your renewal date. Choose "Cancel" (not "Renew").
6. Apple will show your final billing date. Confirm cancellation.
   • You should see a confirmation with a cancellation date.
   • Take a screenshot of this screen.

Pro tip: Apple sometimes offers a refund window if you cancelled within a few days of a charge. You can request this refund directly through the App Store by tapping "Report a problem" on the charge in your purchase history. Apple's refund decision can take up to 2 weeks.

Cancelling through google play (Android devices)

Android users who subscribed through the Google Play Store follow a similar process. Google owns the billing relationship, so you cancel in your Google Play account, not in Mdacne.

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
   • Tap your profile icon (top right).
2. Tap "Payments and subscriptions".
   • You may see "Manage subscriptions" or "Subscriptions"-both lead to the same place.
3. Tap "Subscriptions".
   • You will see all active subscriptions on your Google account.
4. Find "Mdacne" in the list and tap it.
   • If you do not see Mdacne, check "Expired subscriptions" or confirm you subscribed on this device.
5. Tap "Cancel subscription".
   • Google will ask for your cancellation reason and show you the refund terms.
6. Confirm your cancellation choice.
   • Google sends a confirmation email immediately. Your subscription ends on the renewal date shown on screen.
   • Save a screenshot.

Pro tip: Google Play allows refunds for subscriptions cancelled within 48 hours of the first charge or within 7 days of any renewal charge if you have not received the product yet. Tap "Report a problem" on the charge to request a refund.

Cancelling by email if the app steps do not work

If you cannot find your subscription in your account settings or the cancel button does not appear, contact Mdacne support directly via email. This creates a written record of your cancellation request, which is valuable proof if a charge still appears.

1. Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Subscription Cancellation Request".
   • Use this exact subject line so your email goes to the right team.
2. In the body of the email, write:
   • Your full name as it appears on your account
   • The email address linked to your Mdacne account
   • Your next billing date (if you know it)
   • A clear statement: "I request cancellation of my Mdacne subscription effective immediately."
3. Keep a copy of this email in your inbox.
   • Do not delete it.
4. Mdacne support should reply within 24 to 48 hours with a cancellation confirmation.
   • If you receive a confirmation email, save it and screenshot it.
   • If you do not hear back within 2 business days, send a follow-up email marked "Follow-up: Cancellation Request".

Warning: Email cancellation is slower than the app or website, and support response times vary. If your billing date is fewer than 5 business days away, use the website or app method to cancel immediately and then send the email as backup documentation.

What to do after you cancel Mdacne

Verification steps you must take right after cancellation

Cancelling is not truly final until you have confirmed it multiple ways. The moment you see the cancellation confirmation, take action to protect yourself from surprise charges.

1. Screenshot the cancellation confirmation screen from Mdacne, the App Store, or Google Play.
   • The screenshot must show the date, time, and a clear statement that your subscription has been cancelled.
2. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Mdacne or the app store.
   • If you do not receive one within 1 hour, log back into your account and verify cancellation again.
3. Log into your account once more and navigate to your subscription settings.
   • Your active subscription should no longer appear, or it should show a "Cancelled" status with a cancellation date.
4. Check your payment method (credit card or bank account) for any pending charges.
   • A pending charge should disappear within 3 to 5 business days after cancellation.
   • If a charge posts after your cancellation, that is a billing error.

Pro tip: Set a phone reminder for your old renewal date plus 1 day. On that day, log in and verify once more that no charge appeared. If you see a charge, you have proof that you cancelled, and you can immediately request a refund.

What happens to products and refunds after you cancel

Once your subscription is cancelled, no new orders will ship. If a box is already in transit, you will receive it, and you can contact Mdacne to request a return label or refund. Mdacne states that it does not accept returns on personalised treatments as a rule, but if you are within 10 days of receiving the package, Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999 gives you the right to return the unopened package and request a refund.

To claim this refund, send an email to [email protected] with your order number, the date you received it, and a clear statement that you are exercising your right to cancel under the Consumer Protection Act 1999. Take photos of the unopened, sealed package as evidence. The company should process your refund within 14 to 30 days.

Your consumer rights under malaysia law

What the consumer protection act 1999 means for you

Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999 protects you when you buy goods or services from a distance (online, app, or phone). This law gives you the right to cancel any distance contract within 10 calendar days of receiving the product or service, without reason and without penalty.

For Mdacne, this means: if you receive a treatment kit and you are not satisfied, you can request a full refund within 10 days of delivery, even if you have opened and used the products. The company cannot refuse you based on the "personalised nature" claim if you are within the 10-day window. Stopee recommends you always keep your delivery receipt and take photos of your order receipt as proof of the delivery date.

If Mdacne refuses your refund or ignores your cancellation request, you can escalate to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Kos Sara Hidup, or KPDNHEP). You can file a complaint online at www.kpdnhep.gov.my or contact your state's Consumer Claims Tribunal if the amount is under RM25,000.

How to escalate if Mdacne does not cooperate

If you have cancelled but still see a charge, or if Mdacne refuses to refund you after the 10-day window, document everything and file a formal complaint:

1. Gather your cancellation proof: screenshots, confirmation emails, and payment receipts.
   • Stopee recommends you keep these for at least 90 days after cancellation.
2. Send a final email to [email protected] with the subject "Formal Refund Request and Escalation Notice".
   • State the charge date, amount, and your cancellation date.
   • Cite Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999 if applicable.
   • Request a response within 7 days.
3. If Mdacne does not respond or refuses, visit www.kpdnhep.gov.my and file an online complaint.
   • Include your cancellation proof and copies of all emails.
4. You can also lodge a police report (Laporan Polis) for fraudulent billing if you believe the charge was intentional and dishonest.
   • This is a stronger escalation, but only use it if you have clear evidence.

Pro tip: Always give the company 7 days to respond to your complaint email before escalating. Many billing errors are genuine mistakes, and customer support can reverse them quickly if given a clear deadline.

Common mistakes that lead to failed cancellations

Errors that cost you money and how to avoid them

Cancelling should be straightforward, but small mistakes can leave you charged. Stopee has seen these errors countless times, and they are all preventable if you know what to watch for.

Mistake 1: Cancelling through the wrong channel. If you subscribed via the App Store but you cancel through the website, the cancellation might not stick. The app store owns the billing relationship, so you must cancel there. Always remember: cancel where you subscribed.

Mistake 2: Cancelling too close to the renewal date. Mdacne's terms say you must cancel at least 5 business days before your renewal. If your renewal is on Friday, you must cancel by the previous Tuesday at the latest. Do not wait until Thursday and hope the system is fast enough. Pro tip: If your renewal is fewer than 5 business days away, call or email support immediately as backup-do not rely on the website alone.

Mistake 3: Confusing "pause" with "cancel". Mdacne offers a pause feature that temporarily stops your subscription. Many users tap pause thinking it will cancel, and then the subscription restarts months later. Always tap "cancel", not "pause", unless you genuinely want to restart later.

Mistake 4: Not taking screenshots. If a charge appears after you cancel, your screenshot is your proof. Without it, your word against theirs. Screenshot every confirmation screen and save confirmation emails in a dedicated folder.

Mistake 5: Ignoring a pending charge after cancellation. Pending charges sometimes reverse on their own within 3 to 5 days. But if a pending charge becomes a posted charge and you do nothing, disputing it becomes harder. Monitor your payment method closely for 7 days after cancellation.

Timeline for your cancellation and billing

Key dates you need to know

Understanding the timeline protects you from surprises. Here is what happens on each date:

Comparing cancellation options and what suits you best

Which method is fastest and safest for you

You have three main cancellation routes. Each has trade-offs, so choose based on your situation:

Stopee's recommendation: Use the website or app first. It is instant and gives you an immediate confirmation you can screenshot. Use email as backup only if the app option fails or if your renewal date is too close.
