How it works: get your consultation in 4 steps
Accessing prescription acne care from home is straightforward and private. There are no video calls or waiting rooms.
- Complete the medical questionnaire: Answer questions about your skin type, medical history, and previous treatments. You will upload clear photographs of your affected skin for the doctor to grade lesion severity.
- Doctor evaluation: An EU-licensed doctor reviews your questionnaire and photographs to determine if a topical retinoid combination is safe and clinically indicated for your skin.
- Prescription issuance: When clinically appropriate, your doctor issues a private electronic prescription under Spain's official the valid electronic prescription (Receta Médica Privada Electrónica) standard in under 24 hours. The downloadable PDF appears directly in your patient portal and is sent by email.
- Presentation at your pharmacy: Present the digital PDF or a printed copy with its scannable QR code at any community pharmacy in Mérida or throughout the EU.
Who qualifies
Hi-Doctor's acne pathway is designed for adults dealing with mild to moderate facial or truncal acne who want an evidence-based medical treatment.
- Eligible conditions: Comedonal acne (blackheads and whiteheads), mild-to-moderate papulopustular inflammatory acne, and post-inflammatory erythema.
- In-scope treatments: Topical medications only, including adapalene 0.1% + benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel, azelaic acid 15% gel, and clindamycin 1% + benzoyl peroxide gel.
- Out-of-scope conditions: Severe nodulocystic acne, conglobata, active deep scarring, or cases requiring oral isotretinoin (Roaccutane) or oral antibiotics. These complex conditions require in-person dermatological management and are referred directly to local clinics.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Topical retinoids like adapalene are strictly contraindicated in pregnancy. Azelaic acid 15% is typically evaluated as an alternative for pregnant or nursing patients.
What Differin actually does
Differin contains adapalene, a third-generation synthetic topical retinoid. It selectively binds to retinoic acid receptors (RAR-beta and RAR-gamma) in the epidermis, accelerating cellular turnover and normalising follicular keratinisation. This prevents dead skin cells from clumping together and forming microcomedones, the biological precursors to all acne lesions.
Because adapalene monotherapy (Differin) only addresses cell turnover and mild inflammation, modern dermatological guidelines favour pairing adapalene 0.1% with benzoyl peroxide 2.5% (the formulation Hi-Doctor doctors prescribe). Benzoyl peroxide acts as a potent bactericidal agent through oxidative mechanisms, destroying Cutibacterium acnes without the risk of antibiotic resistance.
| Active Formulation | Primary Action | Application Regimen | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% | Comedolytic + Antibacterial | Once nightly (thin layer) | Dual action against comedones and bacteria with zero antibiotic resistance |
| Azelaic Acid 15% Gel | Comedolytic + Anti-inflammatory | Twice daily | Safe in pregnancy; low risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation |
| Clindamycin 1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 3–5% | Topical Antibacterial | Once nightly (max 12 weeks) | Rapid control of inflammatory pustules; BPO prevents clindamycin resistance |
Patients beginning adapalene therapy typically experience a retinoid purge between weeks 2 and 6 as sub-surface microcomedones surface. Therapeutic improvement is clinically assessed at 12 weeks of continuous compliance.
Side effects and when to stop
Topical retinoids alter the epidermal barrier during initial adaptation. Expected transient effects include mild redness (erythema), dry flaking, tightness, and a mild stinging sensation upon application.
To reduce irritation, apply a pea-sized amount over clean, completely dry skin at night, followed by a non-comedogenic moisturiser. Daily broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen is essential, as retinoids increase epidermal UV sensitivity. Discontinue use and seek urgent medical care if you develop severe contact dermatitis, facial swelling, blistering, or acute chemical-like burning.
