Who qualifies
Online acne consultations are designed for adult patients dealing with mild to moderate facial or truncal acne. Qualifying presentations include non-inflammatory comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) and mild-to-moderate inflammatory papules and pustules.
To ensure patient safety, Hi-Doctor maintains strict clinical boundaries. The service provides topical treatments only. Certain severe conditions are out of scope and are referred directly to in-person clinical care:
- Severe nodulocystic, conglobate, or scarring acne.
- Patients requiring oral isotretinoin (Roaccutane) or systemic oral antibiotics.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding patients requesting retinoids (adapalene is contraindicated during pregnancy).
- Suspected non-acne dermatological conditions, such as fungal folliculitis or cutaneous malignancies.
What Adapalene actually does
Adapalene is a stable, third-generation topical retinoid that selectively binds to retinoic acid nuclear receptors (RAR-beta and RAR-gamma). This binding normalises follicular epithelial desquamation, preventing microcomedone formation and clearing blocked pores.
Hi-Doctor's medical team does not prescribe adapalene as a monotherapy. Instead, doctors prescribe the fixed-dose combination of adapalene 0.1% + benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel. Benzoyl peroxide provides rapid, bactericidal action against Cutibacterium acnes through the release of free oxygen radicals, without inducing bacterial resistance.
| Treatment Option | Active Ingredients | Primary Clinical Mechanism | Standard Regimen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Combination Gel (Epiduo) | Adapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% | Comedolytic, anti-inflammatory, and non-antibiotic antibacterial | Once nightly to clean, dry skin |
| Duac Gel | Clindamycin 1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 3% / 5% | Direct antibacterial action paired with resistance-prevention | Once nightly (capped at 12 weeks) |
| Skinoren / Finacea Gel | Azelaic Acid 15% | Antimicrobial, comedolytic; safe in pregnancy and for hyperpigmentation | Twice daily |
Clinical improvements with topical retinoid combinations follow a predictable biological curve. Retinoid purging—a transient flare of inflammatory lesions as microcomedones surface—often occurs during weeks 2 to 6. Significant reduction in inflammatory lesions and comedones is judged at 12 weeks of continuous compliance.
Side effects and when to stop
Local irritation is common during the initial weeks of retinoid therapy. Expected mild effects include localized skin erythema, dryness, scaling, and mild stinging upon application.
To manage initial irritation, apply a thin layer over dry skin and follow with a non-comedogenic moisturiser. If severe contact dermatitis, facial swelling, blistering, or intense burning develops, stop application immediately and contact your doctor.
Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic
In Valencia, booking a private or public dermatology consultation often involves waiting times of several weeks, clinic commutes, and consultation fees ranging from 80 € to 150 €. Hi-Doctor removes these barriers through structured digital care.
Your assessment is conducted via a private, GDPR-compliant questionnaire with mandatory photo evaluation. An EU-licensed doctor reviews your case individually, ensuring clinical accuracy without requiring a live video call or in-person visit. If the doctor determines that prescription treatment is not medically indicated, the 40 EUR consultation fee is refunded in full.
