Who qualifies

Hi-Doctor provides telemedicine consultations for mild to moderate forms of acne vulgaris that can be managed safely with topical medications. An EU doctor reviews your case individually to confirm eligibility based on clinical safety criteria.

Editorial still life illustrating Who qualifies
Who qualifies

You may qualify for an online consultation if you meet the following conditions:

  • You are an adult dealing with mild to moderate comedonal acne (blackheads and whiteheads) or inflammatory papules and pustules.
  • You are not currently pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding (adapalene is contraindicated during pregnancy).
  • You do not have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to adapalene, benzoyl peroxide, or other retinoid compounds.
  • Your skin does not have active eczema, severe dermatitis, or open wounds on the treatment site.

Out of scope conditions: Telemedicine is not suitable for severe nodulocystic acne, conglobate acne, or conditions presenting deep tissue scarring. Hi-Doctor does not prescribe oral isotretinoin (Roaccutane) or oral antibiotics online. Patients presenting with severe or scarring acne are directed to in-person specialist care.

What Adapalene actually does

Adapalene is a third-generation synthetic retinoid that selectively binds to retinoic acid nuclear receptors (RAR-beta and RAR-gamma). This action normalises the differentiation of follicular epithelial cells, preventing microcomedone formation and accelerating cellular turnover. In addition to its comedolytic properties, adapalene exerts a direct anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting lipoxygenase and the metabolism of arachidonic acid.

Hi-Doctor’s medical team has supported over 50,000 patients across Europe, maintaining a 4.8 Trustpilot rating through licensed, evidence-based dermatological care.

On the Hi-Doctor formulary, adapalene is prescribed as a fixed-dose combination: adapalene 0.1% + benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel (commonly marketed as Epiduo or Acniduo). Hi-Doctor's doctors prescribe this combination rather than adapalene monotherapy because benzoyl peroxide provides rapid, non-antibiotic bactericidal action against Cutibacterium acnes. Combining both actives simultaneously clears comedones and reduces inflammatory lesions while preventing bacterial resistance.

Medication OptionActive IngredientsApplication RoutinePrimary Clinical Use
Epiduo / AcniduoAdapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%Once nightlyComedones & inflammatory acne
Skinoren / FinaceaAzelaic Acid 15%Twice dailyInflammatory acne, post-inflammatory pigmentation
Duac GelClindamycin 1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 3% or 5%Once nightly (max 12 weeks)Active inflammatory pustules with resistance control

Acne treatment requires clinical patience. A temporary phase known as retinoid purging often occurs between weeks 2 and 6 as cellular turnover speeds up. Meaningful clinical change should be evaluated at 12 weeks of consistent application, not before.

Side effects and when to stop

Topical retinoids alter the skin barrier during initial use. Mild local irritation—known as retinisation—is common during the first month of therapy.

Expected, mild reactions include:

  • Mild redness (erythema) and local dryness.
  • Superficial skin peeling or flaking around the application area.
  • A mild burning or stinging sensation upon initial application.

Because adapalene increases skin sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation, you must apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily and avoid artificial tanning. Benzoyl peroxide can also bleach hair and coloured fabrics.

When to discontinue use: Stop applying the gel and seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs of an allergic reaction, such as facial swelling, severe urticaria, intense itching, blistering, or chemical burns. If severe irritation persists despite reducing application frequency, consult a healthcare provider.
