Accessing medical care online is direct, private, and fully auditable under Spanish and EU telemedicine standards. You complete the process on your phone or computer without a video call or waiting room.
- Fill out the clinical questionnaire: Answer structured questions regarding your acne history, previous topical treatments, allergies, and general health.
- Upload skin photographs: Provide clear, well-lit photos of the affected skin areas so the doctor can assess lesion type and inflammatory severity.
- Doctor assessment: An EU-registered doctor reviews your case within 24 hours to determine if adapalene 0.1% + benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel is clinically safe and appropriate for you.
- Download your REMPE prescription: If approved, you receive an official Spanish REMPE (Receta Médica Privada Electrónica) PDF inside your secure account and via email notification to present at any community pharmacy.
Who qualifies
Epiduo is indicated for the cutaneous treatment of mild to moderate acne vulgaris featuring both comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) and inflammatory papulopustular lesions. It is suitable for adults and adolescents aged 9 years and older who can tolerate topical retinoid and peroxide combinations.
Hi-Doctor provides topical acne consultations only. To ensure clinical safety, certain conditions are strictly out of scope and require hands-on, in-person specialist care:
- Severe nodulocystic, conglobate, or scarring acne.
- Patients currently requiring systemic therapy such as oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics.
- Active pregnancy (topical retinoids like adapalene are contraindicated).
- Severe skin barrier compromise or eczema on the treatment area.
If the reviewing doctor determines that your condition falls outside our topical scope or is not safe for online prescription, your 40 € fee is refunded in full — no risk — if the doctor says no, you get your money back.
What Epiduo actually does
Epiduo combines two clinically proven active ingredients in a fixed-dose gel: adapalene 0.1% (a third-generation topical retinoid) and benzoyl peroxide 2.5% (a potent antimicrobial and keratolytic agent). Together, they address multiple pathways of acne pathogenesis simultaneously.
- Adapalene 0.1%: Normalises follicular epithelial desquamation to prevent microcomedone formation and exerts direct anti-inflammatory effects.
- Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%: Rapidly reduces Cutibacterium acnes populations via oxidative action without inducing bacterial resistance, while loosening follicular plugs.
| Treatment Option | Active Ingredients | Primary Mechanism | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| Epiduo Gel | Adapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% | Comedolytic, anti-inflammatory & bactericidal | Once nightly (pea-sized amount) |
| Skinoren / Finacea | Azelaic Acid 15% | Comedolytic, antibacterial, anti-pigmentation | Twice daily |
| Duac Gel | Clindamycin 1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 3% / 5% | Antibacterial & anti-inflammatory (max 12 weeks) | Once nightly |
Skin purging and mild irritation commonly occur between weeks 2 and 6 as microcomedones surface. True clinical improvement is assessed at 12 weeks of consistent daily application.
Side effects and when to stop
Localised skin reactions are common during the initial weeks of treatment. Most mild reactions resolve as the cutaneous barrier acclimates.
- Expected mild reactions: Dryness, mild erythema (redness), scaling, and a transient stinging sensation. Mitigate these by applying a non-comedogenic moisturiser 20 minutes after application.
- Application precautions: Benzoyl peroxide bleaches hair, towels, and clothing. Wash hands thoroughly after use. Always apply a broad-spectrum daily sunscreen (SPF 30+), as retinoids increase photosensitivity.
- When to stop and consult a doctor: Discontinue use immediately if you develop severe swelling, blistering, intense burning, or contact dermatitis.
