Who qualifies

Online dermatology consultations are designed for adults dealing with mild to moderate facial or body acne. You are generally a good candidate if you experience recurrent comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) or mild inflammatory papules.

• Eligible: Adults with non-scarring mild to moderate inflammatory or comedonal acne seeking topical medical therapy.
• Photo requirement: You must provide clear photographs of the treatment area during the questionnaire step to allow visual grading.
• Out of scope: Hi-Doctor provides topical treatments only. Severe nodulocystic acne, deep scarring, and conditions requiring oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics are referred to in-person specialist care.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Retinoids (including adapalene) are strictly contraindicated during pregnancy; alternative agents such as azelaic acid 15% gel may be considered instead.

What Differin actually does

Differin is a brand name for adapalene 0.1%, a synthetic third-generation topical retinoid. It binds selectively to specific retinoic acid nuclear receptors, normalizing the differentiation of follicular epithelial cells to prevent microcomedone formation and unblock pores.

However, Hi-Doctor's doctors do not prescribe adapalene monotherapy alone. Instead, our formulary utilizes the combination of adapalene 0.1% paired with benzoyl peroxide 2.5%. Benzoyl peroxide adds potent antimicrobial action against Cutibacterium acnes through oxidation, without promoting bacterial resistance. Combining both active ingredients targets follicular plugging and bacterial inflammation simultaneously for superior clinical outcomes.

Acne treatment requires physiological adaptation. Retinoid purging—a temporary flare of surface lesions—is common between weeks 2 and 6 as underlying microcomedones surface. True clinical improvement is evaluated at 12 weeks of continuous compliance.

Side effects and when to stop

Topical retinoid-antimicrobial combinations can cause localized skin reactions during the first month of therapy. Most symptoms are manageable by applying a non-comedogenic barrier moisturizer.

• Expected initial effects: Mild erythema (redness), dryness, peeling, and transient stinging or burning upon application.
• Sun sensitivity: Retinoids thin the stratum corneum; broad-spectrum daily SPF 50 sunscreen is mandatory during treatment.
• When to discontinue: Stop treatment and message your clinical team if you develop severe contact dermatitis, facial swelling, blistering, or intense burning that does not resolve.
