Who qualifies
Online consultations are intended for adults experiencing mild to moderate facial or truncal acne. Qualifying patients usually present with non-inflammatory comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) or superficial inflammatory papules and pustules.
All acne care provided by Hi-Doctor is strictly topical. Hi-Doctor does not prescribe oral isotretinoin, oral antibiotics, or hormonal therapies online. Patients presenting with nodulocystic lesions, conglobate acne, or scarring disease are referred to in-person care for comprehensive evaluation.
| Topical Treatment | Active Ingredients | Primary Clinical Target | Application Regimen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Epiduo / Acniduo | Adapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% | Comedones and inflammatory lesions | Once nightly |
| Skinoren / Finacea | Azelaic Acid 15% | Comedones, hyperpigmentation, sensitive skin | Twice daily |
| Duac | Clindamycin 1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 3% or 5% | Inflammatory pustules (max 12 weeks) | Once nightly |
What Differin actually does
Differin contains adapalene 0.1% monotherapy, a third-generation synthetic retinoid. Adapalene acts selectively on nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RAR-beta and RAR-gamma) to normalise follicular epithelial desquamation, clearing microcomedones and preventing new clogs.
Hi-Doctor's doctors do not prescribe standalone Differin; they prescribe adapalene 0.1% combined with benzoyl peroxide 2.5%. Benzoyl peroxide adds potent lipophilic antibacterial action against Cutibacterium acnes without driving antibiotic resistance. Combining both active ingredients addresses keratinisation and bacterial colonisation simultaneously.
Retinoid skin purging is common during weeks 2 to 6; meaningful clinical improvement is assessed at 12 weeks, not before.
Side effects and when to stop
Mild irritation, redness, dry flaking, and skin purging are common during the initial 2 to 6 weeks of retinoid therapy as cellular turnover accelerates. Applying a gentle non-comedogenic moisturiser helps manage barrier dryness.
If you experience severe swelling, blistering, or acute allergic reactions, stop application immediately and seek medical attention. Adapalene combination treatments are contraindicated during pregnancy.
Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic

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.
