How it works: get your consultation in 4 steps

  1. Complete the medical questionnaire: Answer questions regarding your skin symptoms, medical history, allergies, and prior treatments in our secure online portal.
  2. Upload clear skin photographs: Dermatology evaluations require photos of the affected skin area so the doctor can accurately grade lesion type and severity.

  4. Receive your valid electronic prescription: If treatment is clinically indicated, an official the valid electronic prescription (Receta Médica Privada Electrónica) PDF prescription is issued to your account and emailed to you in under 24 hours.

Who qualifies

Azelaic acid 15% gel (marketed as Skinoren or Finacea) is a prescription-only topical treatment. Our EU-licensed doctors assess each patient individually to confirm suitability.

Editorial still life illustrating Who qualifies
Who qualifies
  • Eligible conditions: Mild to moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris, papulopustular rosacea, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Skinoren is frequently chosen for darker skin phototypes and during pregnancy because it is non-photosensitising and has a favourable safety profile.
  • Photo requirement: You must provide clear, well-lit photographs of your skin during the consultation. Our doctors rely on these images alongside your questionnaire to establish an accurate clinical assessment.
  • Out of scope: Hi-Doctor only provides topical dermatology treatments. Severe nodulocystic acne, extensive scarring, and conditions requiring oral isotretinoin (Roaccutane) or oral antibiotics are referred to in-person medical care.

What Skinoren actually does

Skinoren contains azelaic acid (15% gel), a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid with dual comedolytic and antibacterial properties. It targets acne and rosacea at the cellular level without inducing bacterial resistance.

ActionBiological MechanismClinical Result
AntibacterialInhibits protein synthesis in Cutibacterium acnesReduces bacterial colonisation in pores without antibiotic resistance
ComedolyticNormalises follicular keratinisation and cell turnoverPrevents microcomedones and unclogs pores
Anti-inflammatoryScavenges free radicals and reduces cytokine activityCalms erythema and reduces inflammatory papules
Anti-pigmentarySelectively inhibits hyperactive tyrosinase enzymeFades post-inflammatory dark marks without lightening normal skin

Skinoren is typically applied twice daily to clean, dry skin. While minor retinoid-like peeling or purging can occur during weeks 2 to 6, therapeutic improvements require time. Clinical efficacy is properly evaluated at 12 weeks of consistent use.

Side effects and when to stop

Most side effects from Skinoren are local, mild, and resolve as your skin adapts during the first few weeks of application.

  • Common initial reactions: Temporary stinging, mild burning, redness, or local skin dryness. Applying a basic non-comedogenic moisturiser 15 minutes after Skinoren often alleviates irritation.
  • When to discontinue: Stop treatment and message the medical team if you experience severe allergic contact dermatitis, intense swelling, persistent blistering, or severe irritation that does not improve after reducing application frequency.
