How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps
Accessing medical acne care online eliminates clinic waiting rooms and lengthy booking delays. You complete the clinical intake entirely online from home in Leipzig.
- Complete the medical questionnaire: Answer questions about your skin history, previous treatments, and current symptoms. Upload clear photographs of the affected areas for visual grading.
- Doctor assessment: An EU-licensed doctor reviews your case history and photos within 24 hours to determine the most effective topical therapy.
- Receive your digital prescription: When clinically appropriate, the doctor issues an official REMPE electronic prescription, available as a downloadable PDF in your account and via email.
- Dispensing at your local pharmacy: Present the digital or printed PDF at any community pharmacy in Leipzig, where the pharmacist reviews the order and may dispense the medication.
Who qualifies
Online dermatology consultations are designed for adult patients dealing with mild to moderate facial or bodily acne. Our doctors assess whether topical retinoid therapy fits your clinical profile before approving treatment.
- Eligible conditions: Mild to moderate comedonal acne (blackheads, whiteheads), inflammatory papules, and mild pustular breakouts.
- Required documentation: High-resolution photos of your skin showing lesion distribution and severity, submitted via the secure questionnaire.
- Exclusions and referrals: Severe nodulocystic acne, conglobata, or deep scarring require hands-on physical examination. Hi-Doctor does not prescribe oral isotretinoin (Roaccutane), oral antibiotics, or hormonal therapies online; patients requiring systemic medications are referred to an in-person dermatologist.
What Differin actually does
Differin is the brand name for adapalene 0.1%, a third-generation synthetic retinoid that binds selectively to retinoic acid nuclear receptors. It accelerates cellular turnover, prevents microcomedone formation, and reduces inflammatory signaling in the pilosebaceous unit.
Hi-Doctor’s medical formulary carries adapalene 0.1% paired with benzoyl peroxide 2.5% (marketed as Epiduo or Acniduo) rather than adapalene monotherapy. Pairing adapalene with benzoyl peroxide provides dual therapeutic action: the retinoid unplugs pores while benzoyl peroxide directly eradicates Cutibacterium acnes via oxidation, preventing the bacterial resistance common with topical antibiotics.
"Over 50,000 patients have accessed clinical care through Hi-Doctor, backed by a 4.8 Trustpilot rating from verified patients across Europe."
Depending on your skin assessment and phototype, Hi-Doctor doctors may also consider alternative topical formulations from the formulary:
- Azelaic acid 15% gel (Skinoren / Finacea): Applied twice daily. Acts as a comedolytic and antibacterial agent; preferred during pregnancy and for darker skin phototypes prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
- Clindamycin 1% + benzoyl peroxide 3% or 5% gel (Duac): Applied once nightly for a maximum course of 12 weeks. The benzoyl peroxide component suppresses bacterial resistance against clindamycin.
Expect a standard clinical timeline when initiating topical retinoid therapy. Retinoid purging (temporary flare-ups of microcomedones) typically occurs between weeks 2 and 6. Meaningful clinical improvement is judged at 12 weeks of consistent application, not before.
Side effects and when to stop
Retinoid and benzoyl peroxide combinations alter epidermal cell turnover and sebum dynamics. Most patients experience mild, transient local reactions during the first month.
| Expected Initial Reactions | Management Strategy | When to Discontinue Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Mild redness (erythema) | Apply a non-comedogenic moisturiser 20 minutes after application. | Severe, spreading contact dermatitis or hives. |
| Skin dryness and flaking | Reduce frequency to alternate nights until tolerance develops. | Swelling of the eyelids, lips, or facial tissues. |
| Transient stinging upon application | Ensure skin is completely dry before applying medication. | Severe blistering, burning, or epidermal erosion. |
| Increased photosensitivity | Apply broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen every morning. | Signs of secondary skin infection or open ulceration. |

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Hi-Doctor's doctors prescribe adapalene 0.1% combined with benzoyl peroxide 2.5% rather than adapalene alone. Combining adapalene with an antibacterial agent provides superior lesion reduction and avoids bacterial resistance.
