Who qualifies
Hi-Doctor's dermatology pathway is designed for adult patients experiencing mild to moderate facial acne, including closed and open comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) as well as superficial inflammatory papules and pustules. High-resolution photo uploads are mandatory so the physician can visually evaluate your skin before making a clinical decision.
Hi-Doctor provides topical treatments only. More severe dermatological conditions require in-person physical assessment and are strictly out of scope for our online service:
- Severe nodular, cystic, conglobate, or scarring acne
- Requests for oral isotretinoin (Roaccutane) or systemic oral antibiotics
- Patients who are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding (adapalene is strictly contraindicated)
- Undiagnosed facial rashes, suspicious lesions, or suspected skin malignancies
What Adapalene actually does
Adapalene is a third-generation topical retinoid that regulates cellular turnover and reduces follicular hyperkeratinisation, preventing the microcomedones that form the basis of acne lesions. On the Hi-Doctor formulary, adapalene is prescribed in a fixed dual-action formulation: adapalene 0.1% combined with benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel (marketed as Epiduo or Acniduo). Adapalene monotherapy is not offered because combining a retinoid with an antimicrobial agent targets comedogenesis and Cutibacterium acnes simultaneously without generating antibiotic resistance.
Topical retinoid therapy requires consistent adherence. Patients frequently experience retinoid purging during weeks 2 to 6 as deep microcomedones come to the surface. Meaningful clinical improvement should be evaluated at 12 weeks of continuous nightly application, not before.
Side effects and when to stop
Because adapalene 0.1% + benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel is an active combination, mild local reactions are common during the initial weeks of treatment. These include redness, peeling, dryness, and a transient stinging sensation upon application. You can manage irritation by using a gentle non-comedogenic moisturiser and applying daily broad-spectrum SPF, as retinoids increase sun sensitivity.
Discontinue application and seek immediate in-person medical evaluation if you develop signs of severe contact dermatitis, facial swelling, severe blistering, or unmanageable burning sensations.
