Frequently asked questions
Cancel Mdacne: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel MDacne in south africa and claim your refund rights
What MDacne is and why south african consumers cancel
MDacne is a subscription-based skincare platform that delivers personalised acne treatment plans through a mobile app and website interface. The service combines an initial skin assessment questionnaire with clinical guidance to recommend prescription-grade or targeted skincare products tailored to your skin profile. Treatment shipments arrive regularly at your address, and the app tracks your progress over time.
Many South African consumers discover that subscription services do not align with their budgets, skin outcomes, or changing needs. If you have signed up for MDacne and now want to cancel, you have clear legal rights to do so without pressure or unnecessary barriers. Yafee specialises in helping consumers like you understand exactly how to cancel MDacne, recover any funds owed, and navigate the process with confidence.
Common reasons for cancellation
Consumers cancel MDacne for several reasons: unsatisfactory results, unexpected charges appearing on their statements, changes in financial circumstances, or a preference to manage skincare independently. Your reason for cancellation is irrelevant to your legal right to cancel. What matters is understanding your protections under South African consumer law and following the correct procedural steps to stop billing immediately.
Why you need to act now
Subscription services continue to charge your account until you formally cancel. Delaying your cancellation request means you remain liable for charges. Yafee recommends you take action within the next seven days to minimise additional billing cycles and strengthen your position if you need to claim a refund later.
Your consumer protection rights under south african law
Before you cancel, understand the legal framework that protects you as a consumer purchasing from MDacne.
The consumer protection act and your cancellation rights
The Consumer Protection Act (CPA) of 2008 grants you substantial rights when dealing with subscription services and online purchases. First, you have the right to fair, honest, and transparent pricing and billing. MDacne must disclose all costs upfront and cannot hide charges in small print or bury material terms in lengthy terms-and-conditions documents.
Second, you have the right to cancel a distance contract (a purchase made online or through distance communication such as a mobile app) within 14 calendar days of purchase or signature. The CPA entitles you to a full refund within 40 business days of your cancellation request, provided the service has not yet been fully delivered. In the case of subscription skincare products, the cooling-off period typically applies to your initial order and your first renewal cycle, depending on MDacne's contract terms.
Third, if MDacne supplies defective products or fails to deliver the promised results as described in marketing materials or your personalised treatment plan, you can claim a refund or request a replacement. Furthermore, if MDacne has charged you without explicit consent or continued billing after you attempted to cancel, those charges may be recoverable under the CPA's unfair practice provisions.
Your legal position
You hold enforceable rights to cancel MDacne without penalty, to receive clear confirmation of cancellation, and to receive a refund for services not yet rendered. If MDacne refuses to honour your cancellation request or withholds a refund without legal justification, you can escalate your complaint to the National Consumer Commission (NCC). The NCC investigates unfair trading practices, unauthorised billing, and refusal to honour cancellation rights. Keep all correspondence, payment records, and evidence of your cancellation attempt before escalating.
How to cancel MDacne: step-by-step methods
MDacne provides several cancellation pathways; your choice depends on whether you can access your account and how quickly you need to stop billing.
Cancel through the app or website (fastest method)
This is the most straightforward route if you can log into your MDacne account.
- Open the MDacne app on your mobile device or visit the MDacne website on your computer.
- Sign in using your email address and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot password" and follow the reset link sent to your email inbox.
- Navigate to your Account settings or Profile menu.
- Look for sections labeled "Subscription", "Billing", "My Plan", or "Manage Subscription".
- On the app, this is usually a profile icon or gear icon in the top-right corner.
- Locate your active subscription plan.
- The page displays your plan name, next billing date, and payment method.
- You may also see renewal frequency (e.g., monthly, quarterly, annual).
- Select "Cancel subscription", "Pause subscription", or "End plan" (button labels vary).
- Read any on-screen warnings or retention offers carefully but proceed with your cancellation.
- Do not be persuaded by discounts or temporary pauses unless you genuinely intend to resume.
- Confirm your cancellation when prompted.
- MDacne will ask you to provide a reason for cancellation (optional but may influence future offers).
- Select "Confirm cancellation" or equivalent button to finalise.
- Save or screenshot your cancellation confirmation.
- Note the cancellation timestamp, confirmation number, and any refund status displayed.
- Forward this confirmation to your personal email address as a backup record.
Cancel by email (if app/website cancellation fails)
If you cannot log into your account or the app cancellation option is not available, contact MDacne directly by email.
- Compose a new email from your personal email address.
- Use a subject line: "Request to cancel MDacne subscription - [Your full name]".
- Include your full name, email address associated with your MDacne account, and the phone number on file.
- State your cancellation request clearly and firmly.
- Write: "I request immediate cancellation of my MDacne subscription effective today. I ask you to confirm cancellation in writing within 48 hours and confirm the status of any pending or future charges."
- Do not apologise or over-explain your reason; you have a legal right to cancel.
- Specify whether you are requesting a refund for services not yet rendered.
- Include any relevant dates (e.g., "My next billing date was [date]. I have not received products for this cycle and request a full refund.") or "I have not yet received my first shipment despite paying on [date]."
- Send this email to MDacne's official cancellation address (provided in the "Contacting MDacne" section below).
- Use registered mail or a platform that provides proof of delivery (e.g., Gmail with read receipts enabled) so you have evidence of receipt.
- Wait for MDacne's written confirmation of cancellation.
- The company has a legal obligation to confirm cancellation within 7 business days under CPA best practice.
- If you receive no response within 7 days, escalate to the National Consumer Commission.
Cancel by registered mail (formal method with legal evidence)
If you need a legally robust record of your cancellation request, send a formal letter via registered mail.
- Compose a formal cancellation letter on your personal letterhead or plain paper.
- Include today's date, your full name, postal address, email, and phone number.
- Clearly state: "I hereby cancel my MDacne subscription effective immediately. I request written confirmation of cancellation and a refund for any services not yet rendered."
- List your MDacne account details (email address, customer ID if available, and subscription plan name).
- Address the letter to MDacne's official cancellation postal address.
- See the "Contacting MDacne" section below for the current mailing address.
- Send the letter via registered post (South African Post Office) or a commercial courier service (e.g., Takealot, Aramex).
- Request proof of delivery and keep your tracking number.
- This creates a legal paper trail if you later need to dispute the company's claims that they never received your cancellation request.
- Follow up with an email to the same address quoting your registered mail tracking number.
- Write: "I have sent a formal cancellation request via registered post (tracking number: [number]) dated [date]. Please confirm receipt and cancellation status within 3 business days."
What happens after you cancel: refunds and billing
Cancellation does not automatically halt billing; you must verify that charges stop and understand your refund entitlement.
How long you have to wait for a refund
The Consumer Protection Act requires MDacne to process your refund within 40 business days of your cancellation request (not 40 calendar days). In practice, most refunds appear within 10 to 20 business days if the company has received your request clearly. Yafee advises you to monitor your bank statement closely and contact your bank if charges continue after your cancellation date.
What refunds you can claim
You are entitled to a refund for the following:
- Any payment you made for a subscription cycle that has not yet commenced (e.g., you paid for month two but cancelled before it began).
- Products ordered but not yet delivered at the time of cancellation.
- Any setup fees or initial consultation fees if you cancel within the 14-day cooling-off period from your purchase date.
You are typically not entitled to a refund for products already delivered and used, unless those products were defective or did not match the description provided by MDacne at the time of purchase.
If MDacne refuses to refund you
Check your bank or credit card statement weekly after cancellation. If charges appear after your cancellation date, MDacne has breached your cancellation request. In this case, contact your bank or card issuer and request a chargeback or dispute. Provide your cancellation confirmation and evidence of the unwanted charge. Simultaneously, lodge a formal complaint with the National Consumer Commission, providing all correspondence between you and MDacne. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers recover unauthorised charges through this escalation pathway.
Common cancellation mistakes to avoid
Many consumers inadvertently weaken their position by making procedural errors that give MDacne grounds to delay or deny refunds. The good news is that these mistakes are easily preventable if you follow the right approach from the start.
Mistake 1: cancelling without written confirmation
If you contact MDacne by phone or social media and do not request written confirmation, the company can later claim they never received a cancellation request. Always insist on receiving a written confirmation email or formal letter. If the representative offers only verbal confirmation, follow up immediately with an email restating your cancellation request and referencing the date and name of the representative you spoke to.
Mistake 2: pausing instead of cancelling
Some subscription services offer a "pause" option as an alternative to cancellation. If you select pause, your account remains active and you remain liable for future charges. Pause is useful only if you genuinely intend to resume your subscription. If you want to end your relationship with MDacne permanently, select "cancel subscription", not "pause".
Mistake 3: failing to record the cancellation timestamp
The date you cancel matters because it determines your refund eligibility. Screenshot your cancellation confirmation immediately, noting the exact time and date. If you later dispute a charge and must escalate to the National Consumer Commission, this timestamped record proves when you ended your subscription.
Mistake 4: not checking your bank statement after cancellation
Do not assume MDacne has stopped billing simply because you cancelled. Verify that no charges appear on your statement after your cancellation date. If a charge appears, contact your bank immediately and dispute it. Consequently, you strengthen your legal position by demonstrating that you took all reasonable steps to detect and prevent unauthorised billing.
MDacne pricing and subscription plans
Understanding MDacne's pricing structure helps you identify overpayments or unauthorised charges on your statement.
| Subscription plan | Frequency | Approximate cost (ZAR) | Cancellation note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly skincare plan | Monthly renewal | R 350 - R 450 | Cancel before next billing date to avoid next charge |
| Quarterly plan | Every 3 months | R 900 - R 1,200 | Confirm your next billing date before cancelling |
| Annual plan (recommended for cost savings) | Once per year | R 3,600 - R 4,500 | Annual renewals may not permit mid-term cancellation refunds; check terms carefully |
| Consultation and assessment fee | One-time | R 200 - R 400 | Refundable within 14 days if you cancel before any products ship |
| Shipping and handling (per order) | Per shipment | R 80 - R 150 | Included in plan cost; no separate recovery unless billed in error |
Prices and plan structures may vary. Always refer to your order confirmation email for the exact amount charged and the renewal date. If your statement shows charges not listed in this table or at rates higher than stated, contact MDacne immediately and request an itemised billing explanation.

Next steps after cancellation: your post-cancellation checklist
Once you have submitted your cancellation request, follow this checklist to protect your interests.
- Record the date, time, and method of your cancellation request (app, email, or registered mail).
- Save all confirmation emails or screenshots of cancellation confirmations within 24 hours.
- Note MDacne's expected refund timeline (typically 40 business days from your cancellation date).
- Check your bank statement or credit card statement weekly for any charges dated after your cancellation date.
- If you do not receive your refund within 45 business days, send a follow-up email to MDacne requesting proof that your refund was processed.
- If MDacne does not respond to your follow-up within 7 days, or if charges continue after cancellation, prepare your complaint for the National Consumer Commission by gathering all correspondence and payment records.
- Do not attempt to dispute the original charge with your bank until you have given MDacne a reasonable opportunity to process your refund (typically 45 business days).
- If you cancel an annual plan mid-term, clarify with MDacne whether your refund will be prorated or forfeited; this depends on MDacne's specific cancellation policy and may be negotiable.
Contacting MDacne for cancellation
Use the following contact details to submit your cancellation request or escalate a billing dispute with MDacne.
