Who qualifies
Hi-Doctor's dermatology pathways cover adult patients seeking clinical assessment for acne, rosacea, melasma, or skin ageing. Uploading clear photos during the questionnaire is a mandatory clinical requirement, allowing the doctor to visually examine comedones, erythema, and pustules before prescribing.
Hi-Doctor provides topical dermatological treatments only. Severe, nodulocystic, conglobate, or deeply scarring acne falls outside the scope of our online service and requires in-person medical evaluation. In addition, our doctors do not prescribe oral isotretinoin (Roaccutane), oral antibiotics, or oral hormonal therapies online; patients presenting with severe disease are referred to in-person specialist care.
"50,000+ patients have accessed prompt medical consultations through Hi-Doctor, backed by a 4.8/5 Trustpilot satisfaction rating."
What Skinoren actually does
Skinoren contains azelaic acid 15% gel, a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid. It works primarily through two mechanisms: acting as an antibacterial agent against Cutibacterium acnes and functioning as a comedolytic agent that normalises epidermal keratinisation to prevent clogged pores.
Azelaic acid is frequently chosen for patients with darker skin phototypes because it carries a low risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Unlike retinoids, it does not cause photosensitivity, making it suitable for year-round application twice daily. Visible results take time: mild skin purging or irritation may occur during weeks 2 to 6, while meaningful clinical improvement is assessed at 12 weeks of consistent use.
| Treatment | Active ingredients | Application | Primary clinical benefit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skinoren | Azelaic acid 15% gel | Twice daily | Antibacterial, comedolytic, low hyperpigmentation risk |
| Epiduo / Acniduo | Adapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl peroxide 2.5% | Once nightly | Dual-action retinoid + antibacterial without oral resistance |
| Duac | Clindamycin 1% + Benzoyl peroxide 3% or 5% | Once nightly (max 12 weeks) | Targeted anti-inflammatory action for acute inflammatory flares |
Side effects and when to stop
Skinoren is generally well tolerated, but localized skin reactions can happen during the initial weeks of treatment. Most mild reactions subside as your skin adjusts to the formulation.
- Common initial reactions: Temporary stinging, mild burning sensations, redness, localized peeling, or dryness at the application site.
- Application guidance: Apply a thin layer to clean, completely dry skin. Using a gentle non-comedogenic moisturiser can help offset dryness.
- When to stop: Discontinue use and contact your doctor if you experience severe allergic contact dermatitis, pronounced swelling, blistering, or persistent severe irritation.

Every case is assessed by an EU-registered physician following standard medical guidelines. If the doctor determines that topical azelaic acid is not safe or suitable for your specific skin presentation, you receive a full refund of your 40 € consultation fee — ensuring zero financial risk.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Cross-border prescriptions issued under Spain's official REMPE (Receta Médica Privada Electrónica) standard include the required data elements specified under Commission Implementing Directive 2012/52/EU. Under Directive 2011/24/EU, EU Member States recognize prescriptions from other Member States for authorized medicines. However, recognition is not absolute: French pharmacists review each prescription and retain the professional discretion to refuse dispensing.
