How it works: get your consultation in 4 steps
Acquiring a prescription treatment for acne does not require sitting in a clinic waiting room or scheduling a live video call. The entire clinical evaluation takes place asynchronously.
- Complete the questionnaire: Provide your acne history, previous treatments, and current symptoms.
- Upload skin photos: Attach clear photographs of the affected areas so the reviewing physician can assess lesion morphology and severity accurately.
- Medical review: An EU-licensed doctor evaluates your case within 24 hours to determine if topical retinoid combination therapy is suitable.
- Receive your prescription: If approved, your the valid electronic prescription private prescription PDF appears directly in your patient portal and email notification, ready to present at a pharmacy in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat or across the EU.
Who qualifies
Online medical assessment is designed for mild to moderate facial and truncal acne. A registered physician verifies eligibility to ensure patient safety before prescribing any active topical agent.
Key takeaways for qualification:
- Eligible: Adults with comedonal acne, inflammatory papules, or pustules seeking topical treatment.
- Pregnancy considerations: Topical retinoids are contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Patients who are pregnant may be considered for azelaic acid 15% gel instead.
- Out of scope: Severe nodulocystic acne, conglobata, or deeply scarring lesions require comprehensive physical palpation, blood monitoring, or systemic therapies like oral isotretinoin. Hi-Doctor refers severe cases to in-person dermatologists.
Over 50,000 patients have accessed clinical evaluations via Hi-Doctor, backed by a 4.8 Trustpilot score from verified consultations across Europe.

What Adapalene actually does
Adapalene is a third-generation topical retinoid that selectively binds to retinoic acid nuclear receptors (RAR-beta and RAR-gamma). This action normalises follicular epithelial cell turnover, unclogging microcomedones and reducing the formation of new inflammatory lesions.
On the Hi-Doctor formulary, physicians prescribe adapalene 0.1% + benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel (marketed under names such as Epiduo or Acniduo) rather than adapalene monotherapy. Combining adapalene with benzoyl peroxide provides dual therapeutic action: the retinoid clears follicular plugging while benzoyl peroxide exerts rapid antibacterial action against Cutibacterium acnes without driving antimicrobial resistance.
For patients with sensitive skin, darker phototypes prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or those who cannot tolerate retinoids, doctors may consider alternatives such as azelaic acid 15% gel (Skinoren or Finacea) or short-course clindamycin 1% + benzoyl peroxide gel (Duac, capped at 12 weeks).
Expect a standard clinical timeline. Retinoid purging—a transient surge in superficial breakouts—is common between weeks 2 and 6 as microcomedones surface. True therapeutic response is judged at 12 weeks of continuous once-nightly application.
Side effects and when to stop
Topical retinoid combinations commonly cause mild, local skin reactions during the initial four weeks of treatment. Managing these symptoms involves using a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturiser and applying broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
- Common transient effects: Dryness, mild erythema, peeling, stinging, and photosensitivity.
- Minimising irritation: Introduce the gel every second or third night before progressing to nightly use once tolerance develops.
- When to discontinue: Stop treatment immediately if you experience intense swelling, severe contact dermatitis, severe burning, or signs of an allergic reaction.

COMMON QUESTIONS
