Who qualifies
Online acne consultations are designed for adult patients dealing with mild to moderate facial or body acne who require targeted medical treatment. You are likely eligible if:
- You have persistent blackheads, whiteheads, or inflamed papules and pustules.
- Over-the-counter washes and cosmetic serums have failed to control breakouts.
- You are not currently pregnant or planning pregnancy (retinoids are contraindicated).
Out-of-scope conditions: Severe nodulocystic acne, deep scarring, and conditions requiring oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics cannot be managed online. Hi-Doctor provides topical treatments only; patients with severe disease are directed to in-person specialist care.

What Adapalene actually does
Adapalene is a third-generation synthetic retinoid that selectively binds to specific nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RAR-beta and RAR-gamma). This action normalises the differentiation of follicular epithelial cells, preventing keratinocytes from clogging pores and forming microcomedones.
When combined with benzoyl peroxide, it provides a dual-action mechanism: cellular turnover alongside rapid antibacterial destruction of Cutibacterium acnes without triggering bacterial resistance. Patients should expect a retinoid adjustment phase between weeks 2 and 6, where temporary purging may occur. Meaningful clinical improvement is evaluated at 12 weeks of consistent daily application.
Side effects and when to stop
Topical retinoids are potent active medications that require gradual skin acclimatisation. Common and manageable local reactions during the first month include:
- Mild erythema (redness) and peeling or flaking skin.
- Dryness, stinging, or mild burning upon application.
- Increased photosensitivity to sunlight.
To reduce irritation, apply a basic non-comedogenic moisturiser and use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. Discontinue use and contact your doctor if you experience severe contact dermatitis, facial swelling, or an allergic reaction.
