Who qualifies
Epiduo (adapalene 0.1% + benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel) is a prescription treatment indicated for mild to moderate acne vulgaris. It treats both non-inflammatory comedones and inflammatory papules or pustules in adults.
Because patient safety comes first, remote dermatology consultations are strictly limited to topical treatments. Severe or complex conditions require an in-person specialist.
| Clinical Factor | Eligible for Online Topical Care | Requires In-Person Referral |
|---|---|---|
| Acne Severity | Mild to moderate comedonal and inflammatory acne | Severe nodulocystic, conglobate, or scarring acne |
| Prescription Scope | Topical therapies (e.g., Epiduo, azelaic acid 15%) | Oral isotretinoin, oral antibiotics, or hormonal therapy |
| Pregnancy Status | Non-pregnant patients (adapalene is contraindicated) | Pregnant patients needing pregnancy-safe alternatives |
If you have nodular, cystic, or scarring acne, Hi-Doctor will refer you to in-person care. Oral acne medications are out of scope for online consultations.
What Epiduo actually does
Epiduo combines two active ingredients to target the main causes of acne without causing antibiotic resistance. You apply a thin layer once nightly to clean, dry skin.
- Adapalene 0.1%: A third-generation topical retinoid that normalises skin cell turnover, unplugs pores, and reduces inflammation.
- Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%: A direct antibacterial agent that kills Cutibacterium acnes through oxidation and clears dead skin cells.
Retinoid purging is common between weeks 2 and 6 as clogged pores clear out. Meaningful clinical improvement is judged at 12 weeks of consistent use, not before.
Side effects and when to stop
Mild skin irritation is normal during the first few weeks of using a retinoid. You may experience localized redness, dry skin, peeling, or a mild stinging sensation.
Use a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturiser and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning, as adapalene increases sun sensitivity. Stop treatment and consult a doctor immediately if you develop severe swelling, blistering, or signs of an allergic reaction.
