Who qualifies

Hi-Doctor's dermatology pathway covers specific non-emergency skin concerns using evidence-based topical treatments. Qualifying criteria include:

• Mild to moderate acne: Patients presenting with comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) and mild-to-moderate inflammatory papules or pustules.
• Adults and adolescents: Individuals seeking targeted topical care who are not currently pregnant or planning pregnancy (retinoids are contraindicated during pregnancy).
• No severe scarring or cysts: Patients with severe, nodulocystic, or deeply scarring acne require in-person physical assessment and possible oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics, which are strictly out of scope for Hi-Doctor online consultations.

What Adapalene actually does

Adapalene is a third-generation synthetic retinoid that selectively binds to specific nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RAR-beta and RAR-gamma). This action normalises the differentiation of follicular epithelial cells, preventing microcomedone formation and clearing clogged pores.

Doctors often prescribe Adapalene 0.1% combined with benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel (such as Epiduo or Acniduo) for once-nightly application. This combination provides a dual mechanism: Adapalene increases cellular turnover while benzoyl peroxide rapidly reduces Cutibacterium acnes bacteria without contributing to antimicrobial resistance.

Retinoid treatment requires realistic expectations. During weeks 2 to 6, temporary retinoid purging and mild peeling frequently occur as clogged pores clear. Meaningful therapeutic improvement is evaluated at 12 weeks of consistent daily application, not before.

Side effects and when to stop

Local irritation is common when initiating topical retinoids. Managing side effects properly prevents premature treatment discontinuation:

• Expected initial reactions: Mild erythema, skin flaking, dryness, and a transient burning sensation. Applying a non-comedogenic moisturiser 20 minutes after application helps mitigate irritation.
• Photosensitivity: Adapalene thins the stratum corneum temporarily. Daily broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen application is mandatory each morning.
• When to stop: Discontinue use and contact a doctor immediately if you experience severe contact dermatitis, facial swelling, blistering, or intense burning that does not resolve.
