About the medicine

What it is and how it works

Adapalene + benzoyl peroxide is a fixed-dose gel combining a topical retinoid with an antimicrobial. It is authorised in the EU for acne vulgaris with comedones, papules and pustules, and NICE lists it as a first-line 12-week option for acne of any severity, and as the preferred maintenance treatment afterwards.

It is contraindicated in pregnancy and in women planning a pregnancy. A doctor licensed in Spain confirms this, checks the type of acne and reviews response at 12 weeks.

Who it is for

  • One thin film at night over the whole acne-prone area
  • Retinoid and antimicrobial in one gel; no antibiotic

Your questions answered

Adapalene + benzoyl peroxide13 questions
What is adapalene + benzoyl peroxide gel used for?
It is a fixed combination of a topical retinoid (adapalene 0.1%) and an antimicrobial (benzoyl peroxide 2.5%), authorised in the EU for acne vulgaris with comedones, papules and pustules. NICE lists it as a first-line 12-week option for acne of any severity, and as maintenance afterwards.
A thin film once a day in the evening over the whole acne-prone area, not just individual spots, on clean and dry skin. Use a non-comedogenic moisturiser and SPF in the morning. Some people start on alternate nights for 2 weeks to build tolerance.
More questions
Dryness, redness, peeling and a burning or stinging feeling are common and usually peak in the first 2 to 4 weeks. Benzoyl peroxide bleaches fabric and hair and increases sun sensitivity. Stop and contact your doctor for severe irritation, swelling or blistering.
No. The EU product information contraindicates it in pregnancy and in women planning a pregnancy; treatment is stopped if pregnancy occurs. The doctor asks about pregnancy and contraception before prescribing. It can be used while breastfeeding if the chest is avoided.
Write to your doctor in the private chat in your account: describe what you notice and when it started. The doctor can adjust the plan, pause it or suggest another option. If you have severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or chest pain, call 112 or go to an emergency department straight away.
It depends on what you take. List every medicine, supplement and herbal product in the questionnaire, including ones you use only occasionally. The doctor checks for interactions before prescribing, and your pharmacist checks again when you collect Adapalene + benzoyl peroxide.
The doctor can choose another topical option for your skin, adjust how you use it, or refer you to an in-person dermatologist when your skin needs an examination or a treatment that is not prescribed online.
Skin treatments need several weeks to show a change. You can write to your doctor in the private chat about irritation or doubts, and at the end of the course a follow-up consultation with new photos decides whether to continue, change or stop.
Yes. Hi-Doctor runs 100 % online across the EU, so if you live in Marseille you can fill in the questionnaire and receive the medical review without travelling.
