How it works: get your consultation in 4 steps

  1. Complete the medical questionnaire: Detail your breakout history, skin type, previous skincare products, and current health status through our secure portal.
  2. Upload skin photos: Take high-resolution, well-lit photos of your affected areas. The doctor uses these images to grade lesion types and verify whether topical therapy is suitable.
  3. Doctor review: An EU-licensed doctor reviews your file and clinical images to determine the correct active formulation and strength.
  4. Receive your prescription: When clinically appropriate, your doctor issues a valid electronic prescription in under 24 hours. You can download the PDF directly from your patient dashboard or print it out to present at any local pharmacy in Lleida.

Who qualifies

Topical retinoid therapy is designed for specific severities of acne. An EU-licensed doctor reviews your questionnaire and uploaded photos to ensure the treatment matches your clinical profile.

  • Eligible cases: Adults presenting with mild to moderate comedonal acne (blackheads and whiteheads) or mild inflammatory papulopustular acne on the face, chest, or back.
  • Alternative topical options: Patients with sensitive skin, darker skin phototypes prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or those who are pregnant may be prescribed azelaic acid 15% gel (Skinoren/Finacea) instead of adapalene.
  • Out of scope: Severe nodular, cystic, or scarring acne requires in-person clinical monitoring. Hi-Doctor does not prescribe oral isotretinoin (Roaccutane) or oral antibiotics online; patients with severe disease are referred to in-person dermatologists.
  • Pregnancy contraindication: Adapalene is strictly contraindicated during pregnancy and planning. If you are pregnant, the doctor will decline topical retinoids and evaluate pregnancy-safe alternatives such as azelaic acid.

What Differin actually does

Differin is the commercial brand name for adapalene 0.1% monotherapy. Adapalene is a third-generation synthetic topical retinoid that selectively binds to retinoic acid receptors (RAR-beta and RAR-gamma) in the epidermis. This action normalizes follicular keratinization, prevents the formation of microcomedones, and exerts direct anti-inflammatory effects.

Hi-Doctor's prescribing doctors utilize adapalene 0.1% formulated in combination with benzoyl peroxide 2.5% (generic equivalent of Epiduo/Acniduo) rather than single-agent Differin. Combining adapalene with benzoyl peroxide creates dual therapeutic action: the retinoid unplugs congested pores while the peroxide rapidly reduces Cutibacterium acnes through oxidation. Benzoyl peroxide carries no risk of bacterial resistance, making this combination the international first-line topical standard.

Topical retinoids require patience. Many patients experience retinoid purging—a transient surge in superficial breakouts—between weeks 2 and 6 as existing microcomedones clear. True therapeutic efficacy cannot be judged before 12 weeks of consistent, once-nightly application.

Side effects and when to stop

Starting an adapalene-based regimen alters the skin barrier during initial cellular turnover. Most side effects are localized and peak within the first 4 weeks.

  • Common initial reactions: Mild erythema, flaking, dryness, and a warm stinging sensation upon application. Using a gentle ceramide-based moisturizer and daily SPF 50 sunscreen mitigates these effects.
  • Application technique: Apply a pea-sized amount to completely dry skin once nightly. Avoid the immediate eye contours, lips, and nostrils.
  • When to stop and seek care: Discontinue use immediately if you develop severe contact dermatitis, intense facial swelling, blistering, or persistent burning that does not resolve after washing the product off.

Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic
