Who qualifies

Hi-Doctor's online acne service is intended for adult patients experiencing mild to moderate inflammatory acne, blackheads, and whiteheads. Because accurate diagnosis requires visual assessment, uploading clear photos of your skin during the questionnaire is mandatory.

Our doctors treat mild to moderate comedonal and papulopustular acne using proven topical formulations. To ensure patient safety, severe cases fall strictly outside our telemedicine scope.

• Eligible: Non-inflammatory comedones, mild-to-moderate inflammatory papules and pustules, and adult hormonal breakouts suitable for topical care.
• Out of scope: Severe nodulocystic acne, deep conglobate acne, scarring acne, or cases requiring oral isotretinoin (Roaccutane) or oral antibiotics. These require in-person dermatological evaluation and are referred accordingly.

What Adapalene actually does

Patients searching for Adapalene are typically seeking treatment for persistent comedones and inflamed bumps. Hi-Doctor does not prescribe adapalene monotherapy (such as Differin); instead, our doctors prescribe the dual-action combination of adapalene 0.1% + benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel (commonly marketed as Epiduo or Acniduo).

Adapalene is a targeted third-generation topical retinoid that normalises follicular keratinisation, preventing dead skin cells from clogging pores. Benzoyl peroxide adds rapid antimicrobial activity against Cutibacterium acnes through oxidation, entirely eliminating the risk of bacterial resistance associated with oral or topical antibiotics.

Skin improvement requires physiological cell turnover. Expect a mild retinoid purging phase during weeks 2 to 6 as microcomedones surface; true therapeutic results are judged at 12 weeks of consistent application.

Side effects and when to stop

Topical retinoids commonly cause initial local irritation as your skin adjusts. Applying a basic, non-comedogenic moisturiser twenty minutes after application helps mitigate initial peeling and dryness.

• Common mild reactions: Erythema (redness), flaking, mild stinging upon application, and transient dryness.
• Sun sensitivity: Adapalene increases photosensitivity. Apply broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen every morning during treatment.
• When to stop: Discontinue use immediately if you experience intense burning, facial swelling, severe dermatitis, or signs of an allergic contact reaction.

Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic

Securing a GP or specialist dermatology appointment in Dundalk can involve lengthy waiting lists and high in-person consultation costs. Hi-Doctor streamlines access while upholding rigorous European clinical standards.

Prescriptions adhere to Commission Implementing Directive 2012/52/EU, including full prescriber qualification and INN substance identification.

A doctor reads your photos, not a quiz result.

Complete the online questionnaire and add photos of the affected skin. An EU-licensed doctor reviews both and, if a topical treatment is clinically appropriate, issues a valid electronic prescription in under 24 hours. If no prescription is issued, the €40 fee is refunded in full.
