Who qualifies

Epiduo (adapalene 0.1% + benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel) is a prescription-only topical treatment. Our doctors assess eligibility based on specific dermatological criteria to ensure patient safety.

Editorial still life illustrating Who qualifies
Who qualifies
  • Eligible patients: Adults experiencing mild to moderate inflammatory acne, papulopustular breakouts, or persistent comedonal acne who require targeted medical treatment.
  • Required photo upload: You must upload clear photographs of your skin during the consultation so the doctor can verify that topical combination therapy is clinically appropriate.
  • Clinical exclusions: Hi-Doctor provides topical treatments only. Severe nodulocystic acne, conglobate lesions, and extensive scarring require in-person care and are referred to physical clinics.
  • Medication boundaries: Hi-Doctor does not prescribe oral isotretinoin, oral antibiotics for acne, or hormonal therapies online.

What Epiduo actually does

Epiduo combines two active ingredients that target different causes of acne simultaneously. This combination treats active breakouts while preventing new microcomedones from forming, avoiding the bacterial resistance risks associated with topical antibiotics.

  • Adapalene 0.1%: A third-generation topical retinoid that normalises follicular keratinisation, unplugs congested pores, and reduces cutaneous inflammation.
  • Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%: A fast-acting antimicrobial agent that reduces Cutibacterium acnes bacteria on the skin surface while providing mild keratolytic action.
Treatment PhaseExpected Skin ResponseClinical Goal
Weeks 1–2Mild dryness, erythema, slight peelingSkin retinisation and initial cellular turnover
Weeks 2–6Potential retinoid purging (temporary breakout flare)Clearing of deep microcomedones
Weeks 8–12Reduction in inflammatory lesions and smoother textureFormal clinical assessment of treatment efficacy
Timeline data from the table above.

Side effects and when to stop

Because Epiduo contains both a retinoid and benzoyl peroxide, local skin irritation is common during the initial weeks of treatment. Applying a non-comedogenic moisturiser and introducing the gel gradually helps manage skin tolerance.

Common effects include transient stinging, redness, scaling, and increased photosensitivity. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily during treatment. Benzoyl peroxide can bleach coloured fabrics, so wash hands thoroughly after application and use light-coloured towels.

Discontinue use and seek medical advice if you experience severe contact dermatitis, swelling of the eyelids or face, intense burning, or signs of an allergic reaction.
