Who qualifies
To qualify for a digital prescription, patients must present with mild to moderate inflammatory or comedonal acne suitable for topical treatment. Our clinicians strictly follow medical protocols to ensure patient safety.
| Eligible for Online Consultation | Referred to In-Person Specialist |
|---|---|
| Mild to moderate comedonal acne (blackheads, whiteheads) | Severe nodulocystic or conglobata acne |
| Mild to moderate inflammatory papules and pustules | Deep scarring requiring systemic medication |
| Adults and adolescents requiring topical maintenance | Patients seeking oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics |
| Non-pregnant, non-breastfeeding individuals | Pregnancy or active breastfeeding |
Hi-Doctor provides topical dermatology solutions only. If your acne exhibits deep cysts, widespread nodules, or severe scarring, our doctors will refer you to an in-person specialist for systemic intervention.
What Epiduo actually does
Epiduo combines two clinically proven active ingredients into a single once-nightly gel: adapalene (0.1%) and benzoyl peroxide (2.5%). Adapalene is a third-generation topical retinoid that normalises skin cell turnover, preventing follicular clogging and clearing microcomedones. Benzoyl peroxide acts as a potent antimicrobial agent that rapidly reduces Cutibacterium acnes bacteria without inducing bacterial resistance.
A typical treatment timeline requires consistency and patience:
- Weeks 2–6: Retinoid purging may occur. You might experience temporary skin flaking, mild redness, or an initial uptick in surface blemishes as underlying microcomedones clear out.
- Weeks 6–8: Inflammation subsides and active inflammatory papules begin to resolve noticeably.
- Week 12: Meaningful clinical improvement is formally evaluated at 12 weeks of continuous once-daily application.
Side effects and when to stop
Because Epiduo contains both a retinoid and benzoyl peroxide, local skin reactions are common during the initial adaptation period. Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, completely dry skin at night, followed by a non-comedogenic moisturiser to minimise irritation.
Expected mild effects include dry skin, localized peeling, and a mild stinging or burning sensation. However, you should stop treatment and consult a healthcare provider immediately if you experience:
- Severe, blistering erythema or intense swelling around the eyes and lips.
- Signs of an allergic contact dermatitis reaction (hives, severe pruritus).
- Persistent cracking and skin breakdown that does not improve with moisturiser.
Note: Benzoyl peroxide bleaches hair and fabrics. Wash hands thoroughly after application and avoid contact with coloured towels and bed linen.
