Who qualifies
Online acne consultations are designed for adults with mild to moderate inflammatory acne, blackheads, and whiteheads. Because safety comes first, Hi-Doctor enforces clear clinical boundaries on telemedicine care.
Eligible for Online Care
Referred to In-Person Specialist
Comedonal acne (blackheads, whiteheads)
Nodular or severe cystic acne
Mild to moderate inflammatory papules and pustules
Adults over 18 without contraindications to retinoids
Patients requiring systemic oral antibiotics or hormonal workups
Hi-Doctor provides consultations and prescriptions for topical acne treatments only. Severe, nodulocystic, or scarring acne requires physical palpation and systemic monitoring and is always referred to in-person clinics.
What Differin actually does
Differin is the brand name for adapalene 0.1%, a third-generation topical retinoid. Adapalene binds specifically to retinoic acid nuclear receptors, normalising the desquamation of follicular epithelial cells to clear microcomedones and reduce inflammation.
What treatment actually does
However, adapalene monotherapy does not target Cutibacterium acnes bacteria directly. For this reason, Hi-Doctor doctors prescribe the dual formulation combining adapalene 0.1% with benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel. Benzoyl peroxide introduces an oxidising antimicrobial action that kills bacteria without driving antibiotic resistance, delivering a significantly more effective comedolytic and antibacterial treatment than adapalene alone.
Skin purging is common between weeks 2 and 6 as cellular turnover increases. Visible, stable clinical improvement is evaluated at 12 weeks of consistent daily application.
Side effects and when to stop
Topical retinoid combinations commonly cause localized skin reactions during the initial four weeks of treatment as the stratum corneum adjusts.
Mild and expected effects: Local dryness, mild erythema, superficial peeling, and a transient stinging sensation. Using a gentle moisturizer helps mitigate these symptoms.
Moderate effects: retinoid dermatitis or moderate purging flares between weeks 2 and 6.
When to stop immediately: Severe blistering, facial swelling, eyelid oedema, or signs of an acute allergic contact dermatitis.
Adapalene combinations must not be used during pregnancy. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, as topical retinoids increase photosensitivity under the Valencia sun.
Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic
Securing a private dermatology appointment in Valencia often requires waiting several weeks and paying clinic fees ranging between 80 € and 150 €. Walking into public primary care requires navigating scheduling delays.
