Who qualifies

To request a consultation, you must be an adult resident in the EU experiencing mild to moderate facial or bodily acne. Our doctors treat comedonal acne (blackheads and whiteheads) and mild-to-moderate inflammatory papules and pustules using evidence-based topical treatments.

Who qualifies

Our online dermatology service is strictly topical. Patients with severe nodulocystic acne, deep conglobate lesions, or visible scarring are referred to in-person specialist care. Hi-Doctor does not prescribe oral isotretinoin, oral antibiotics, or systemic hormonal therapies online.

What Differin actually does

Differin contains adapalene, a third-generation synthetic retinoid that binds selectively to retinoic acid nuclear receptors. It normalises follicular epithelial cell turnover, unclogging pores and preventing microcomedones from forming. Because monotherapy retinoids do not eliminate Cutibacterium acnes bacteria, Hi-Doctor doctors prescribe adapalene 0.1% combined with benzoyl peroxide 2.5% (such as Epiduo or Acniduo). Benzoyl peroxide adds direct bactericidal action through oxidation, preventing bacterial resistance without oral antibiotics.

Treatment Stage Timeline What to Expect
Initial Retinisation Weeks 1–2 Mild redness, temporary skin dryness, and slight peeling as cell turnover accelerates.
Retinoid Purging Weeks 2–6 Temporary increase in visible surface breakouts as existing microcomedones clear out.
Visible Improvement Weeks 6–10 Reduction in new comedones, refined skin texture, and decreased inflammation.
Clinical Evaluation Week 12 Meaningful clinical outcome assessed; significant reduction in inflammatory lesions.

Side effects and when to stop

Topical retinoids commonly produce mild skin irritation during initial weeks of use. You can manage this by applying a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturiser and using the gel every second night until your skin adapts.

  • Expected local reactions: Dryness, mild flaking, transient stinging upon application, and increased sun sensitivity (daily broad-spectrum SPF 50 is mandatory).
  • Application precautions: Benzoyl peroxide bleaches fabrics and hair; apply carefully at night and wash hands thoroughly after use.
  • When to discontinue: Stop treatment and consult a doctor immediately if you develop severe contact dermatitis, swelling of the face or eyelids, intense blistering, or signs of an allergic reaction.
  • Pregnancy warning: Topical retinoids are contraindicated during pregnancy and planning pregnancy; alternative options like azelaic acid 15% gel may be considered by your doctor.

Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic

In Getafe, obtaining a public dermatology referral via the Servicio Madrileño de Salud (SERMAS) often involves multi-month waiting lists, while private clinic visits require upfront booking fees and travel time. Hi-Doctor offers a rapid, fully documented medical alternative.
