Who qualifies
To obtain an Adapalene prescription through Hi-Doctor in Pamplona, you must be an adult residing in Spain or the European Union. Online prescribing is strictly reserved for mild-to-moderate facial or truncal acne.
Topical adapalene (paired with benzoyl peroxide) is suitable for patients dealing with comedonal acne (blackheads and whiteheads) and mild inflammatory papules. It is not suitable for everyone, and our doctors adhere strictly to clinical safety boundaries.
- In scope: Mild-to-moderate comedonal and inflammatory acne in non-pregnant adults.
- Out of scope: Severe nodulocystic acne, conglobata, and deep scarring, which require in-person physical examination.
- Pregnancy contraindication: Adapalene is a topical retinoid and is contraindicated during pregnancy; alternative agents like azelaic acid 15% gel are evaluated instead.
- Oral medications: Hi-Doctor prescribes topical treatments only. Oral isotretinoin and oral antibiotics are never prescribed online.
What Adapalene actually does
Adapalene is a third-generation synthetic topical retinoid that selectively targets retinoic acid receptors (RAR-beta and RAR-gamma). It normalises follicular epithelial desquamation, preventing microcomedones from forming and reducing inflammatory acne lesions.
Our doctors prescribe adapalene 0.1% combined with benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel (marketed as Epiduo or Acniduo). Combining a retinoid with benzoyl peroxide targets follicular occlusion and Cutibacterium acnes proliferation simultaneously without triggering antibiotic resistance.
| Treatment Option | Primary Mechanism | Application Frequency | Clinical Scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% | Comedolytic, cellular turnover, antimicrobial | Once nightly | Mild-to-moderate inflammatory & comedonal acne |
| Azelaic Acid 15% Gel | Antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, comedolytic | Twice daily | Acne, pregnancy-safe option, darker phototypes |
| Clindamycin 1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 5% | Targeted topical antibiotic + oxidising agent | Once nightly (max 12 weeks) | Acute inflammatory acne flares |
Treatment requires patience. Retinoid purging—a temporary increase in visible blemishes—frequently occurs between weeks 2 and 6 as microcomedones surface. Meaningful therapeutic improvement is evaluated at 12 weeks of continuous compliance.
Side effects and when to stop
Local cutaneous irritation is common during the initial four weeks of starting Adapalene. Most side effects are manageable by introducing the medication gradually and using a non-comedogenic moisturiser.
- Common transient effects: Erythema (redness), skin peeling, dryness, mild stinging, and heightened photosensitivity.
- Mitigation strategies: Apply a pea-sized amount to completely dry skin at night, apply broad-spectrum SPF 50 daily, and buffer with moisturiser.
- When to stop: Discontinue immediately and seek urgent medical care if you develop facial swelling, severe urticaria, or signs of an acute allergic reaction.
Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic
Accessing a dermatology specialist in Pamplona through the public health system often involves months of waiting for non-urgent acne. Private local clinics charge between 80 € and 150 € per consultation simply to review a mild skin breakout.
Hi-Doctor offers an efficient clinical alternative. For a flat 40 € fee, an EU-licensed doctor assesses your case asynchronously using high-resolution photos and medical screening. Doctors review your case and, when clinically appropriate, issue your prescription in under 24 hours.
Cross-border prescriptions are recognised under Directive 2011/24/EU, while Commission Implementing Directive 2012/52/EU establishes the required verification elements. Dispensing remains subject to pharmacist review.
In Spain, pharmacies validate the electronic prescription QR code directly through the national private prescription registry. You can present the PDF on your smartphone or hand a printed copy to any pharmacist in Pamplona or across the country.
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.
