How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

1. Complete the medical questionnaire: Provide your acne history, previous treatments, current skincare routine, and general medical profile.
2. Upload clear skin photographs: Take well-lit photos of the affected areas so the doctor can assess lesion types, distribution, and inflammatory severity.
3. Doctor assessment within 24 hours: An EU-licensed doctor reviews your case details and photographs to determine the most effective topical therapy.
4. Receive your REMPE prescription: If approved, your REMPE prescription PDF appears in your secure account and by email notification. You can present it on your smartphone or print it out for the pharmacist.

Who qualifies

Topical acne treatments are intended for mild to moderate inflammatory and comedonal acne. To qualify for an online dermatology consultation to get Adapalene online in Zaragoza, you must be an adult resident in the EU seeking non-emergency topical treatment.

• Eligible conditions: Comedonal acne (blackheads and whiteheads), mild-to-moderate papulopustular acne, and post-inflammatory erythema.
• Photo verification: You must be able to provide clear, unedited photographs of your active breakouts.
• Out of scope for online care: Severe nodulocystic acne, conglobata, widespread scarring, and conditions requiring oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics require physical examination and are referred to in-person clinics.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Retinoids, including adapalene, are contraindicated in pregnancy; alternative agents such as azelaic acid 15% gel are evaluated instead.

What Adapalene actually does

Adapalene is a third-generation synthetic topical retinoid that selectively binds to retinoic acid receptors (RAR-beta and RAR-gamma). It normalises follicular epithelial desquamation, preventing microcomedones from forming and reducing cellular cohesion inside the pore. On Hi-Doctor's dermatology formulary, adapalene is prescribed as a fixed-dose combination gel containing adapalene 0.1% + benzoyl peroxide 2.5% (marketed under names such as Epiduo or Acniduo).

Monotherapy with adapalene alone is not offered because clinical evidence shows that pairing adapalene with benzoyl peroxide produces superior comedolytic and antimicrobial results. Benzoyl peroxide releases free-radical oxygen species that kill Cutibacterium acnes without causing bacterial resistance, while adapalene accelerates cell turnover.

Treatment Option	Active Ingredients	Primary Indication	Application Frequency
Combination Retinoid Gel	Adapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%	Comedones & inflammatory papules/pustules	Once nightly
Azelaic Acid Gel	Azelaic acid 15% (Skinoren / Finacea)	Mild acne, rosacea, pregnancy-safe option	Twice daily
Antibiotic-BPO Gel	Clindamycin 1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 3% or 5%	Active inflammatory lesions (max 12 weeks)	Once nightly

Expect a temporary increase in breakouts—known as retinoid purging—between weeks 2 and 6 as microcomedones come to the surface. Meaningful clinical improvement is judged at 12 weeks of continuous compliance, not before.

Side effects and when to stop

Retinoid dermatitis is common during the first month of treatment as your stratum corneum adapts to increased cellular turnover. Understanding expected adjustments versus adverse events ensures safe application.

• Common expected reactions: Mild erythema, skin flaking, localised dryness, and a mild stinging sensation upon application. Using a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturiser mitigates these effects.
• Photosensitivity: Adapalene increases vulnerability to ultraviolet radiation. Apply broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen every morning.
• When to reduce application: If moderate irritation occurs, reduce application to alternate nights until tolerance improves.
• When to stop: Discontinue immediately if you experience severe contact dermatitis, swelling of the face or eyelids, intense burning, or signs of an allergic reaction.
