Who qualifies
Hi-Doctor provides remote consultations strictly for mild to moderate facial and body acne indicated for topical care. Each assessment is performed individually by a licensed physician.
Eligible patients:
- Adults experiencing comedonal acne (blackheads and whiteheads) or mild to moderate inflammatory papules and pustules.
- Patients without known hypersensitivity to topical retinoids or benzoyl peroxide.
- Individuals providing adequate, well-lit photos of their skin for visual assessment.
Out-of-scope conditions:
- Severe nodulocystic acne, deep conglobate lesions, or active scarring.
- Patients requiring oral isotretinoin, oral antibiotics, or systemic hormonal therapy.
- Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Patients presenting severe or scarring acne are referred to an in-person dermatology practice in Lyon for direct physical examination and systemic management.
What Differin actually does
Differin contains adapalene, a selective third-generation topical retinoid that modulates cellular differentiation and keratinisation. By normalizing follicular epithelial desquamation, it clears microcomedones and reduces inflammatory lesion development.
Hi-Doctor's doctors prescribe adapalene 0.1% paired with benzoyl peroxide 2.5% rather than standalone Differin. Benzoyl peroxide provides rapid bactericidal action against Cutibacterium acnes through the release of reactive oxygen species, preventing the emergence of bacterial resistance. Pairing both agents addresses follicular plugging and bacterial proliferation simultaneously.
Retinoid purging—a brief increase in visible lesions—commonly occurs between weeks 2 and 6 as subclinical microcomedones are pushed to the surface. Therapeutic efficacy is formally evaluated at 12 weeks of consistent nightly use.
Side effects and when to stop
Topical retinoid-antibacterial combinations frequently produce localised cutaneous reactions during the initial four weeks of therapy. Mild dryness, erythema, scaling, and transient stinging are typical physiological responses.
Apply a pea-sized amount once nightly to clean, dry skin, followed by a non-comedogenic moisturiser. Daily application of broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential because topical retinoids increase photosensitivity.
Stop application and seek medical attention if you experience:
- Severe facial swelling, periorbital edema, or acute urticaria.
- Intense burning, weeping skin, or blister formation.
- Severe dermatitis that persists despite reducing application frequency.
