2. Upload clear photos: Provide high-resolution photographs of the affected areas so the EU-licensed doctor can accurately evaluate lesion morphology and severity.
3. Doctor review within 24 hours: An EU-licensed doctor assesses your case. When clinically appropriate, the doctor issues a digitally signed REMPE prescription in under 24 hours.

Who qualifies

Topical acne treatments are medical interventions that require professional clinical oversight. To qualify for an online acne consultation to get Adapalene online in Badalona, you must meet specific medical parameters.

• Mild to moderate acne: Patients with active comedones (blackheads, whiteheads), papules, and pustules across the face, chest, or back.
• Adults and non-pregnant patients: Retinoids, including adapalene, are strictly contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding. For pregnant patients, azelaic acid 15% gel is evaluated as an alternative.
• Clear visual documentation: You must be able to upload well-lit, in-focus photos of the skin conditions you want reviewed.
• Out-of-scope cases: Hi-Doctor provides topical treatments only. Severe nodulocystic acne, deep conglobate lesions, and scarring acne require physical palpation, blood monitoring, or systemic therapies like oral isotretinoin, and are referred to in-person care.

What Adapalene actually does

Adapalene is a stable, third-generation synthetic retinoid that binds selectively to retinoic acid nuclear receptors (RAR-beta and RAR-gamma). This selective binding normalises follicular epithelial desquamation, preventing microcomedone formation and clearing blocked pores. Because adapalene also possesses intrinsic anti-inflammatory properties, it downregulates inflammatory responses in acne lesions.

Hi-Doctor's doctors prescribe adapalene formulated with benzoyl peroxide 2.5%. Benzoyl peroxide introduces reactive oxygen species directly into the follicular unit, killing Cutibacterium acnes without the risk of microbial resistance. Combining these two agents attacks all primary pathophysiological drivers of acne at once.

Medication	Active Composition	Primary Clinical Mechanism	Typical Dosing
Epiduo / Acniduo	Adapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%	Comedolytic, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial	Once nightly to clean, dry skin
Skinoren / Finacea	Azelaic Acid 15% gel	Antibacterial, comedolytic, reduces post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation	Twice daily (morning and night)
Duac	Clindamycin 1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 3% or 5%	Direct bactericidal action with non-resistance profile	Once nightly (capped at 12 weeks)

Acne treatment requires clinical patience. Retinoid purging—where dormant microcomedones surface rapidly—is common between weeks 2 and 6. Measurable therapeutic improvement is evaluated at 12 weeks, not before.

Side effects and when to stop

Starting topical retinoid combinations frequently causes initial skin acclimation symptoms during the first month of therapy.

• Common transient effects: Mild erythema, localized peeling, skin tightness, and a slight burning sensation. These can be managed by applying a non-comedogenic moisturiser, buffering application, and using daily broad-spectrum SPF 50+.
• Retinoid purging: A temporary increase in superficial blemishes during weeks 2 to 6 as cellular turnover accelerates.
• When to discontinue: Stop treatment immediately if you experience severe allergic reactions, marked facial edema, persistent blistering, or severe contact dermatitis.
