How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps
Acquiring prescription acne treatment in the Canary Islands no longer requires taking time off work or sitting in a clinic waiting room. The entire consultation takes place online through a private, asynchronous medical questionnaire.
- Complete the clinical questionnaire: Answer questions about your skin history, previous treatments, and current symptoms. You will be prompted to upload clear photographs of the affected areas so the doctor can evaluate lesion type and severity.
- Submit your consultation: Pay the 40 € consultation fee securely via Stripe. Your payment is protected by a full money-back guarantee if the reviewing doctor determines that topical treatment cannot be safely prescribed.
- Doctor evaluation: An EU-licensed doctor reviews your answers and skin photographs to confirm whether adapalene 0.1% + benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel is clinically suitable for your condition.
- Receive your REMPE prescription: If approved, your doctor issues an official REMPE (Receta Médica Privada Electrónica) prescription within 24 hours. You can download the PDF file directly from your secure account and present it on your phone or print it out at any community pharmacy in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
Who qualifies
To safely get Epiduo online, your acne must fall within the treatable scope of remote topical dermatology. Doctors evaluate both your reported symptoms and uploaded photos to ensure patient safety.
| Clinical Presentation | Suitability for Online Epiduo Prescription | Recommended Pathway |
|---|---|---|
| Mild to moderate comedonal and inflammatory acne | Eligible | Hi-Doctor 40 € Acne Consultation |
| Papules and pustules on face, chest, or back | Eligible | Hi-Doctor 40 € Acne Consultation |
| Severe nodulocystic, conglobate, or scarring acne | Ineligible (Out of scope) | In-person dermatology referral |
| Currently pregnant or planning pregnancy | Ineligible for retinoids | Alternative topical review (e.g., Azelaic Acid) |
Hi-Doctor's online acne service is strictly limited to topical treatments. If you suffer from deep cystic lesions, extensive scarring, or require systemic therapies such as oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics, you will be referred to an in-person specialist.
What Epiduo actually does
Epiduo is a fixed-dose combination topical gel containing 0.1% adapalene and 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. Adapalene is a third-generation topical retinoid that normalises follicular keratinisation, preventing microcomedones from forming and accelerating cellular turnover. Benzoyl peroxide provides potent bactericidal activity against Cutibacterium acnes through the release of free oxygen radicals, without inducing bacterial resistance.
When you start treatment, a temporary retinoid flare or "purging" phase commonly occurs between weeks 2 and 6 as microcomedones surface. True therapeutic progress is evaluated at 12 weeks of consistent nightly application. Do not expect overnight clearance; clinical efficacy builds progressively over three months of steady use.
Side effects and when to stop
Because Epiduo contains both a retinoid and an oxidising agent, local cutaneous irritation is expected during the first month of treatment. You must apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, as adapalene increases epidermal photosensitivity under the strong UV index in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
- Common transient reactions: Mild erythema, peeling, skin dryness, and a stinging or burning sensation upon application. These often subside as the epidermal barrier adapts.
- Application tips: Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, completely dry skin once nightly. You may apply a non-comedogenic moisturiser beforehand (buffering) to reduce irritation.
- When to discontinue: Stop use immediately and seek medical attention if you experience severe contact dermatitis, facial swelling, blistering, or intense burning that does not resolve.
