Electronic prescription

You can’t get Differin itself through Hi-Doctor, but you can get the exact same active ingredient. Differin is adapalene 0.1% on its own; an EU-licensed doctor here prescribes adapalene 0.1% combined with benzoyl peroxide 2.5% (marketed as Epiduo or Acniduo) to treat active acne in Logroño. This dual formulation pairs retinoid cellular turnover with an antibacterial agent that prevents bacterial resistance. A private consultation costs 40 €, a doctor reviews within 24 hours and issues a prescription when clinically appropriate, and an approved prescription can be presented at any EU pharmacy, where the pharmacist may dispense a locally marketed equivalent. The 40 EUR consultation fee is refunded in full if the doctor does not issue a prescription.
- Fee: 40 € one-off consultation fee (refunded in full if no prescription is issued).
- Turnaround: Doctors review within 24 hours and issue a prescription when clinically appropriate.
- Prescription: Official Spanish the valid electronic prescription digital prescription PDF.
- Scope: Mild to moderate inflammatory acne treated with topical therapies only.

Topical retinoids like adapalene are strictly contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Severe nodulocystic acne, deep conglobate lesions, and severe scarring are outside our clinical scope. These conditions require in-person care, blood monitoring, or systemic medications such as oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics, which Hi-Doctor does not prescribe online.
What Differin actually does
Differin contains adapalene, a third-generation topical retinoid that binds selectively to retinoic acid nuclear receptors. It normalises follicular epithelial desquamation, preventing microcomedones from plugging pores. However, because adapalene monotherapy does not directly eliminate bacteria, Hi-Doctor’s formulary uses adapalene 0.1% paired with benzoyl peroxide 2.5%.
Benzoyl peroxide introduces an oxidising mechanism that targets Cutibacterium acnes without causing antibiotic resistance. This combination treats both hyperkeratinisation and bacterial proliferation simultaneously.
| Formulation | Active Ingredients | Mechanism of Action | Dosing Schedule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adapalene + BPO Gel | Adapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% | Comedolytic renewal plus bacterial suppression | Once nightly |
| Azelaic Acid 15% Gel | Azelaic Acid 15% (Skinoren / Finacea) | Antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, reduces PIH | Twice daily |
| Duac Gel | Clindamycin 1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 3% or 5% | Targeted antibacterial (capped at 12 weeks) | Once nightly |
Side effects and when to stop
Starting an adapalene combination frequently causes localised redness, peeling, burning, and dry skin during the first 2 to 4 weeks. Retinoid purging—a temporary increase in surface blemishes as underlying microcomedones surface—is common in weeks 2 through 6.
Clinical improvement is assessed at 12 weeks of consistent application. Discontinue use and seek urgent medical care if you experience severe facial swelling, eyelid swelling, or symptoms of an acute allergic reaction.
Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic
Securing a dermatology appointment in Logroño through public healthcare or private clinics often involves multi-week waiting lists. Hi-Doctor provides rapid clinical evaluation by EU-licensed doctors who handle consultations under EU data-protection law (GDPR).
A doctor reviews within 24 hours and issues a prescription when clinically appropriate.
Prescriptions comply with Commission Implementing Directive 2012/52/EU for standard medical details. Under Directive 2011/24/EU, the valid electronic prescription PDF can be presented at any EU pharmacy, where the pharmacist reviews the order and may dispense a locally marketed equivalent. Pharmacists retain the right to refuse.
A doctor reads your photos, not a quiz result.
Complete the online questionnaire and add photos of the affected skin. An EU-licensed doctor reviews both and, if a topical treatment is clinically appropriate, issues a valid electronic prescription in under 24 hours. If no prescription is issued, the €40 fee is refunded in full.
