Who qualifies

Topical acne therapies are suitable for adults and adolescents experiencing mild to moderate comedonal and inflammatory acne. To help you understand available pathways, Hi-Doctor offers specific evidence-based topical treatments:

Medication	Active Composition	Primary Indication	Hi-Doctor Prescribable
Epiduo / Acniduo	Adapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%	Comedonal and inflammatory acne	Yes (Topical)
Skinoren / Finacea	Azelaic Acid 15%	Acne with hyperpigmentation; pregnancy-safe option	Yes (Topical)
Duac Gel	Clindamycin 1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 3% or 5%	Inflammatory acne (capped at 12 weeks)	Yes (Topical)
Differin	Adapalene 0.1% alone	Comedonal acne (monotherapy)	No (Replaced by combination gel)
Roaccutane / Accutane	Oral Isotretinoin	Severe nodulocystic or scarring acne	No (In-person referral required)

Patients with severe nodular, cystic, or scarring acne, or those requiring oral antibiotics or oral isotretinoin, fall outside our scope of care. These conditions require close in-person dermatological supervision and blood monitoring.

What Adapalene actually does

Adapalene is a stable, third-generation synthetic retinoid that binds specifically to retinoic acid nuclear receptors. It normalises follicular epithelial desquamation, preventing microcomedones from forming and clogging pores. When combined with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide, it simultaneously reduces bacterial colonisation of Cutibacterium acnes without triggering antibiotic resistance.

Expect a standard timeline for visible results. Retinoid purging—where underlying microcomedones surface as small papules—frequently occurs between weeks 2 and 6. Meaningful clinical improvement should be evaluated at 12 weeks of consistent once-nightly application, not earlier.

Side effects and when to stop

Most patients experience mild retinoid dermatitis during the first month of treatment. Symptoms typically include local erythema, scaling, dryness, and a mild stinging sensation.

• Managing early dryness: Apply a non-comedogenic moisturiser before or immediately after application (the buffering method) and use broad-spectrum SPF 50 daily.
• Temporary scaling: You may reduce application frequency to alternate nights until tolerance develops.
• When to discontinue: Stop application immediately and seek medical advice if you experience severe contact dermatitis, facial swelling, blistering, or intense, unresolving burning.

Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic

Booking a private or statutory Hautarzt in Stuttgart often involves wait times exceeding 8 to 12 weeks. Hi-Doctor provides a fast, fully digital alternative tailored to routine dermatological care.

• Asynchronous convenience: Submit your clinical questionnaire and photos anytime without missing work or arranging in-person appointments.
• Fast turnaround: A doctor reviews within 24 hours and issues a prescription when clinically appropriate.

• Cross-border validity: Your prescription is issued under Spain's official REMPE electronic standard compliant with Directive 2011/24/EU and can be presented at any EU pharmacy, where the pharmacist reviews it and may dispense a locally marketed equivalent.
