How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

Acquiring your acne treatment consultation online is straightforward and completely asynchronous. You do not need to book time off work or sit in a clinic waiting room.

1. Complete the medical questionnaire: Detail your acne history, previous treatments, and current skincare routine.
2. Upload clear photos: Provide high-resolution images of your affected skin so the doctor can assess lesion types and severity.
3. Submit your review request: Pay the 40 € flat consultation fee, fully covered by our money-back guarantee if treatment cannot be prescribed.
4. Receive your electronic prescription: If the doctor approves treatment, download your official REMPE PDF prescription from your secure patient portal and present it at any pharmacy in Alicante or across the EU.

Who qualifies

To get Epiduo online in Alicante, you must be an adult dealing with mild to moderate facial or body acne. The prescribing doctor evaluates whether your specific lesion types will respond safely to topical retinoid and antimicrobial therapy.

Epiduo is suitable for patients with persistent comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules, and pustules. Because adapalene is a topical retinoid, this treatment is strictly contraindicated during pregnancy or while planning pregnancy.

Severe nodulocystic acne, deep conglobate lesions, and scarring acne fall outside our telemedicine scope. Hi-Doctor does not prescribe oral isotretinoin, oral antibiotics, or oral hormonal therapies online; patients presenting with severe acne are referred to in-person specialist care.

What Epiduo actually does

Epiduo is a fixed-dose topical gel combining adapalene 0.1% and benzoyl peroxide 2.5%. Adapalene is a third-generation synthetic retinoid that normalises follicular keratinisation, preventing microcomedones from forming. Benzoyl peroxide acts as a potent antimicrobial and keratolytic agent, rapidly reducing Cutibacterium acnes without causing bacterial resistance.

You apply a thin pea-sized layer once nightly across the entire affected area on clean, dry skin. Results require consistency, as cellular turnover takes several weeks to clear blocked pores.

Timeline	Expected Skin Response	Clinical Focus
Weeks 1–2	Mild dryness, localized erythema, slight peeling	Skin adaptation and barrier adjustment
Weeks 2–6	Retinoid purging; existing microcomedones surface	Do not discontinue; continue daily hydration
Weeks 6–12	Reduction in active inflammatory papules and comedones	Visible clearing and textural improvement
Week 12+	Meaningful therapeutic outcome judged	Maintenance and long-term control

Side effects and when to stop

Initial skin irritation is common when starting Epiduo. Patients frequently notice mild stinging, peeling, and redness during the first three weeks of use. Using a non-comedogenic moisturiser and applying a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen every morning helps reduce these local reactions.

To minimise irritation, your doctor may suggest applying the gel every other night for the first two weeks. Discontinue use and contact your doctor or seek local medical care if you experience severe allergic reactions, swelling of the face or eyelids, blistering, or intense burning pain.
