How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

Getting evaluated for acne treatment online is entirely digital and asynchronous. You do not need an appointment, phone call, or video consultation to complete the process.

1. Complete the clinical questionnaire: You answer targeted medical questions regarding your skin history, previous treatments, allergies, and current symptoms.
2. Upload skin photographs: You submit clear, high-resolution photographs of the affected areas so the doctor can assess lesion morphology and severity accurately.
3. Doctor assessment: An EU-licensed doctor reviews your clinical data and photographs to determine if adapalene and benzoyl peroxide gel is safe and indicated.
4. Receive your REMPE prescription: When approved, an official Spanish REMPE (Receta Médica Privada Electrónica) PDF is uploaded to your account and sent via email within 24 hours.

Who qualifies

Online consultations for Epiduo are designed for adult patients dealing with mild to moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris. Eligibility depends entirely on your medical history, symptoms, and the reviewing physician's clinical assessment.

• Eligible cases: Patients with comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), inflammatory papules, and superficial pustules on the face, chest, or back.
• Pregnancy contraindication: Epiduo contains adapalene, a topical retinoid contraindicated during pregnancy or when planning pregnancy. Pregnant patients are evaluated for safer topical alternatives such as azelaic acid 15% gel.
• Out of scope conditions: Severe nodular, cystic, or scarring acne cannot be treated safely through our digital service. Patients requiring oral isotretinoin, oral antibiotics, or hormonal therapies are referred to in-person specialist care.

What Epiduo actually does

Epiduo is a fixed-dose topical combination containing 0.1% adapalene and 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. It targets two primary drivers of acne simultaneously: follicular hyperkeratinisation and bacterial proliferation.

Adapalene is a stable, third-generation synthetic retinoid that normalises skin cell turnover and prevents the formation of microcomedones. Benzoyl peroxide provides a rapid bactericidal effect against Cutibacterium acnes through oxidation, without inducing microbial resistance. Because benzoyl peroxide prevents bacterial resistance, it does not carry the limitation periods associated with topical antibiotics.

Topical Treatment	Active Ingredients	Mechanism of Action	Typical Application
Epiduo Gel	Adapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%	Comedolytic, anti-inflammatory, and non-antibiotic antibacterial	Once daily at night
Duac Gel	Clindamycin 1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 3% or 5%	Antibiotic plus antibacterial (capped at 12-week maximum course)	Once daily at night
Skinoren / Finacea	Azelaic Acid 15%	Comedolytic, antibacterial, safe in pregnancy, reduces PIH	Twice daily

Clinical improvement requires consistency over several weeks. A transient retinoid purge—characterised by temporary flare-ups and mild peeling—is common between weeks 2 and 6. Meaningful clinical efficacy is judged at 12 weeks of continuous nightly use.

Side effects and when to stop

Local cutaneous reactions are common during the first month of topical retinoid therapy. Most side effects are manageable by adjusting your moisturising routine or application frequency.

• Common reactions: Erythema (redness), scaling, skin dryness, stinging, and contact burning sensation. Applying a non-comedogenic moisturiser before or after application helps reduce skin irritation.
• Photosensitivity: Adapalene increases your skin's susceptibility to ultraviolet light. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen daily and avoid direct sun exposure.
• When to stop: Discontinue application and seek immediate in-person medical care if you experience severe contact dermatitis, facial swelling, blistering, or signs of an allergic reaction.

Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic

Securing a dermatology appointment in Zamora through traditional channels often involves long waiting lists or high private consultation rates. Hi-Doctor provides a direct, accessible route to EU medical consultations from home.

You pay a single 40 € one-off consultation fee for the medical review of your dermatology questionnaire and photographs. There are no ongoing subscription traps or recurring charges for acne care. If the doctor determines that Epiduo is not safe or suitable for your condition, you receive a 100% refund.

Your electronic prescription is issued under the Spanish REMPE system and complies with Commission Implementing Directive 2012/52/EU for cross-border medical documents. Under Directive 2011/24/EU on patients' rights in cross-border healthcare, the prescription can be presented across the European Union. In Spain, pharmacies validate the digital QR code directly; outside Spain, the pharmacist reviews the PDF and may dispense an authorised equivalent.
