Who qualifies

To qualify for a digital prescription, patients must present with mild to moderate inflammatory or comedonal acne suitable for topical treatment. Our clinicians strictly follow medical protocols to ensure patient safety.

Eligible for Online Consultation	Referred to In-Person Specialist
Mild to moderate comedonal acne (blackheads, whiteheads)	Severe nodulocystic or conglobata acne
Mild to moderate inflammatory papules and pustules	Deep scarring requiring systemic medication
Adults and adolescents requiring topical maintenance	Patients seeking oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics
Non-pregnant, non-breastfeeding individuals	Pregnancy or active breastfeeding

Hi-Doctor provides topical dermatology solutions only. If your acne exhibits deep cysts, widespread nodules, or severe scarring, our doctors will refer you to an in-person specialist for systemic intervention.

What Epiduo actually does

Epiduo combines two clinically proven active ingredients into a single once-nightly gel: adapalene (0.1%) and benzoyl peroxide (2.5%). Adapalene is a third-generation topical retinoid that normalises skin cell turnover, preventing follicular clogging and clearing microcomedones. Benzoyl peroxide acts as a potent antimicrobial agent that rapidly reduces Cutibacterium acnes bacteria without inducing bacterial resistance.

A typical treatment timeline requires consistency and patience:

• Weeks 2–6: Retinoid purging may occur. You might experience temporary skin flaking, mild redness, or an initial uptick in surface blemishes as underlying microcomedones clear out.
• Weeks 6–8: Inflammation subsides and active inflammatory papules begin to resolve noticeably.
• Week 12: Meaningful clinical improvement is formally evaluated at 12 weeks of continuous once-daily application.

Side effects and when to stop

Because Epiduo contains both a retinoid and benzoyl peroxide, local skin reactions are common during the initial adaptation period. Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, completely dry skin at night, followed by a non-comedogenic moisturiser to minimise irritation.

Expected mild effects include dry skin, localized peeling, and a mild stinging or burning sensation. However, you should stop treatment and consult a healthcare provider immediately if you experience:

• Severe, blistering erythema or intense swelling around the eyes and lips.
• Signs of an allergic contact dermatitis reaction (hives, severe pruritus).
• Persistent cracking and skin breakdown that does not improve with moisturiser.

Note: Benzoyl peroxide bleaches hair and fabrics. Wash hands thoroughly after application and avoid contact with coloured towels and bed linen.
