How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

Getting Epiduo online in Tarragona takes four straightforward steps. Everything is handled digitally without travel or waiting rooms.

1. Fill the medical questionnaire — answer targeted questions regarding your acne history and current treatments, and complete the photo upload step. The doctor uses these photos to assess type and grade severity.
2. Doctor reviews your case — an EU-licensed doctor evaluates your questionnaire answers and uploaded photos to decide if treatment is appropriate.
3. Prescription issued — when clinically appropriate, the doctor issues a REMPE electronic prescription (a downloadable PDF) inside your secure Hi-Doctor account and by email in under 24 hours.
4. Present at a pharmacy — print the PDF or show it on your phone at any pharmacy in Tarragona or across the EU. The pharmacist may dispense Epiduo or an equivalent (pharmacists retain the right to refuse).

If the doctor determines Epiduo is not appropriate for you, the fee is refunded in full — no risk.

Who qualifies

Epiduo is suitable for mild to moderate acne presenting with comedones and inflammatory lesions. You qualify for an online consultation if:

• You do not have severe, nodular, cystic, or scarring acne (these cases require in-person care and Hi-Doctor refers rather than treats them).
• You are not pregnant or planning a pregnancy (adapalene is a retinoid contraindicated in pregnancy).
• You upload clear photographs of your affected skin for clinical assessment.
• You seek topical treatment only — oral isotretinoin and oral antibiotics are out of scope and never prescribed online.

If your condition is out of scope, the doctor will explain the clinical rationale and your consultation fee is fully refunded.

What Epiduo actually does

Epiduo combines adapalene 0.1% (a third-generation retinoid) and benzoyl peroxide 2.5% (an antibacterial agent). This dual action targets both comedones and inflammatory lesions simultaneously, avoiding the antibiotic resistance associated with oral courses.

Expected timeline:

Time period	What to expect
Weeks 0–2	Initial skin adjustment; mild dryness or initial clearing may begin.
Weeks 2–6	Retinoid purging is common — temporary flare-ups may occur as microcomedones surface.
Weeks 6–12	Purging subsides; progressive reduction in both comedones and inflammatory papules.
At 12 weeks	Meaningful clinical change is judged at 12 weeks, not before. Continued maintenance is guided by the doctor.

Never judge efficacy before 12 weeks of continuous nightly application.

Side effects and when to stop

Common local reactions include transient redness, scaling, dryness, and stinging during early weeks. To mitigate skin irritation:

• Apply a thin layer once nightly to clean, completely dry skin, avoiding the eyes, lips, and mucous membranes.
• Pair with a gentle non-comedogenic moisturiser and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
• If severe erythema, burning, swelling, or allergic contact dermatitis occurs, stop application and consult a doctor.

Your doctor can adjust application frequency or evaluate alternative topical options if persistent irritation occurs.
