Who qualifies

Online acne consultations are designed for adult patients experiencing mild to moderate comedonal or inflammatory acne. To qualify for an online evaluation, you must meet specific clinical parameters:

• Age: You must be an adult aged 18 or older.
• Acne severity: Suitable for blackheads, whiteheads, papules, and pustules on the face, chest, or back.
• Photo submission: You must be able to submit clear photos of your active lesions for medical verification.
• In-person referrals: Hi-Doctor does not prescribe oral isotretinoin, oral antibiotics, or hormonal therapies online. Patients with severe nodulocystic acne, deep sinus tracts, or active scarring are referred to in-person dermatologists.
• Pregnancy status: Adapalene combinations are contraindicated during pregnancy; alternative topicals like azelaic acid 15% gel may be evaluated instead.

What Adapalene actually does

Adapalene is a stable, third-generation topical retinoid that modulates cellular differentiation and keratinisation inside the follicular infundibulum. By preventing microcomedone formation, it clears clogged pores and normalises skin cell turnover. When paired with benzoyl peroxide 2.5%, the combination provides dual action: adapalene exfoliates within the pore, while benzoyl peroxide releases free oxygen radicals that eliminate Cutibacterium acnes without causing bacterial resistance.

Patients starting topical retinoid combinations must anticipate a realistic clinical timeline. Retinoid purging—a temporary increase in visible blemishes as underlying microcomedones surface—frequently occurs between weeks 2 and 6. Meaningful therapeutic response is evaluated at 12 weeks of consistent nightly application.

Side effects and when to stop

Topical retinoid-antimicrobial combinations can cause initial localised skin reactions. Most are mild and resolve as the epidermal barrier adapts:

• Common reactions: Erythema (redness), dryness, peeling, mild burning, and stinging, especially during the first 2 to 4 weeks.
• Minimising irritation: Apply a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturiser before or after treatment, and introduce the gel every other night initially if your skin is sensitive.
• Photosensitivity: Retinoids thin the stratum corneum; apply broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen every morning.
• When to stop: Discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor if you experience severe contact dermatitis, facial swelling, blistering, or intense allergic irritation.
