2. Upload skin photographs: Provide clear photos of the affected areas so the doctor can accurately grade lesion type and severity.
3. Doctor review: An EU-licensed doctor assesses your case asynchronously in under 24 hours to determine clinical eligibility.
4. Receive your valid electronic prescription: If approved, download your official valid electronic prescription PDF from your account to present at any local pharmacy in Badajoz or across the European Union.

Who qualifies

Adapalene is a targeted topical therapy for mild to moderate acne vulgaris. Doctors evaluate each questionnaire to confirm whether a topical retinoid matches your skin type and health profile.

Clinical Presentation	Online Eligibility Status	Recommended Clinical Pathway
Mild to moderate comedonal acne (blackheads, whiteheads)	Eligible	Adapalene 0.1% or Adapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% gel
Inflammatory papules and pustules without deep scarring	Eligible	Adapalene + Benzoyl Peroxide or Clindamycin 1% + BP gel (capped at 12 weeks)
Acne in pregnancy or darker phototypes prone to PIH	Eligible (Alternative)	Azelaic acid 15% gel (non-photosensitising, pregnancy-safe)
Severe nodulocystic, conglobate, or scarring acne	Not Eligible	Referred to in-person dermatology (requires oral isotretinoin evaluation)

Hi-Doctor only provides prescriptions for topical dermatology treatments. Oral medications such as oral isotretinoin, oral antibiotics, and systemic hormonal therapies are strictly out of scope and require hands-on medical monitoring.

What Adapalene actually does

Adapalene is a third-generation synthetic retinoid that selectively binds to nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RAR-beta and RAR-gamma). This action modulates cellular differentiation and normalises the desquamation of follicular epithelial cells, preventing microcomedone formation.

By preventing pore blockages at the cellular root, it starves Cutibacterium acnes of the anaerobic environment needed to multiply. When combined with benzoyl peroxide 2.5% (as in Epiduo or Acniduo), it delivers simultaneous comedolytic and bactericidal action without contributing to bacterial antibiotic resistance.

Clinical improvement follows a clear biological timeline:

• Weeks 1–2: Skin begins adjusting to accelerated cell turnover. Mild dryness may appear.
• Weeks 2–6: Retinoid purging frequently occurs as sub-surface microcomedones surface simultaneously. This is a normal therapeutic phase.
• Weeks 8–12: Inflammatory lesions subside, skin texture smooths, and visible reduction in comedones occurs. True therapeutic response is judged at week 12.

Side effects and when to stop

Local cutaneous irritation—known as retinoid dermatitis—is common during initial weeks. You can manage mild peeling, erythema, and stinging by applying a non-comedogenic moisturiser, spacing applications to alternate nights, and wearing daily broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Discontinue treatment and seek medical advice if you experience:

• Severe blistering, facial swelling, or intense burning pain.
• Signs of contact dermatitis or severe allergic reaction.
• Suspected or confirmed pregnancy (topical retinoids are strictly contraindicated during pregnancy).
