1. Complete the medical questionnaire: You provide your medical history, previous treatments, and current symptoms in a private online form.
2. Upload clear skin photographs: You upload well-lit photos of the affected skin areas so the physician can grade the type and severity of your acne.
3. Clinical doctor assessment: An EU-licensed doctor reviews your file within 24 hours to determine whether topical prescription treatment is suitable.
4. Download your REMPE prescription: If approved, a digital PDF prescription is delivered to your secure patient account. You can present it at any EU pharmacy in Lille or across France, where the pharmacist reviews the document and may dispense a locally marketed equivalent.

Who qualifies

Telemedicine acne assessments are designed for mild-to-moderate inflammatory and comedonal acne. A reviewing doctor assesses each case individually against strict clinical safety guidelines.

Hi-Doctor provides topical treatments only. Patients with severe nodulocystic acne, deep conglobate lesions, active scarring, or those requiring systemic drugs like oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics are not eligible online and are referred to in-person dermatologists.

What Differin actually does

Differin contains adapalene 0.1%, a third-generation synthetic retinoid that targets cellular turnover inside the follicular unit. It works by normalizing the desquamation of follicular epithelial cells, preventing microcomedones from forming and reducing surface inflammation.

Important formulary notice: Differin is a monotherapy containing only adapalene. Hi-Doctor’s clinical formulary does not prescribe adapalene alone; instead, our doctors prescribe the dual-action combination of adapalene 0.1% paired with benzoyl peroxide 2.5% (marketed under brand names such as Epiduo or Acniduo). Benzoyl peroxide introduces a powerful antibacterial mechanism that rapidly reduces Cutibacterium acnes without promoting antibiotic resistance, delivering a more comprehensive approach than adapalene alone.

Clinical retinoid purging is common between weeks 2 and 6. Measurable therapeutic improvement is evaluated at 12 weeks of consistent nightly application.

Side effects and when to stop

Retinoids and combination gels alter skin barrier function during the initial adaptation phase. Knowing what to expect prevents premature discontinuation.

• Expected initial symptoms: Mild redness, peeling, dryness, and a transient increase in breakouts (purging) during weeks 2 to 6. Applying a fragrance-free moisturizer helps protect the skin barrier.
• Photosensitivity: Adapalene increases sensitivity to sunlight; always apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily and apply the gel strictly once nightly.
• When to pause treatment: If you develop severe burning, marked facial swelling, blistering, or signs of an allergic reaction, stop applying the gel immediately and seek medical advice.
