3. Receive your valid electronic prescription: If treatment is clinically indicated, an official valid electronic prescription is issued in under 24 hours and made available in your account as a downloadable PDF.

Who qualifies

Epiduo is formulated for adolescents and adults dealing with mild to moderate inflammatory acne, papules, pustules, and comedones. Because it combines two active agents, it treats active breakouts while preventing new microcomedones from forming.

You qualify for an online dermatology assessment if you are an adult seeking topical treatment for non-scarring acne. However, certain conditions fall outside the scope of remote treatment:

• Severe or nodulocystic acne: Deep, painful nodules and cysts with scarring risk require in-person dermatological evaluation.
• Systemic therapy candidates: Hi-Doctor provides topical solutions only and does not prescribe oral isotretinoin (Roaccutane) or oral antibiotics online.
• Pregnancy: Adapalene is a retinoid and is contraindicated during pregnancy. Alternative topicals such as azelaic acid 15% gel are evaluated instead.
• Hypersensitivity: Anyone with a known allergy to adapalene, benzoyl peroxide, or formulation excipients.

What Epiduo actually does

Epiduo contains two complementary active ingredients that attack acne through distinct biochemical pathways without causing bacterial resistance.

• Adapalene 0.1%: A stable, third-generation topical retinoid that modulates cellular differentiation and keratinisation. It clears follicular plugging, speeds up epidermal turnover, and delivers anti-inflammatory effects.
• Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%: A potent antimicrobial agent that releases free radicals to reduce Cutibacterium acnes populations. It also provides mild keratolytic action and prevents bacterial resistance.

Acne treatment requires clinical patience. Retinoid purging (a transient flare-up of superficial blemishes) frequently happens between weeks 2 and 6 as microcomedones surface. Therapeutic improvement is clinically assessed at 12 weeks of consistent once-nightly application.

Side effects and when to stop

Mild local irritation is expected during the first month of retinoid use. You can minimise skin barrier disruption by applying a non-comedogenic moisturiser and using broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, as retinoids increase photosensitivity.

Common, manageable reactions include mild erythema (redness), dryness, peeling, and transient stinging. Apply a pea-sized amount to dry skin every second night initially to build tolerance.

Discontinue treatment and seek immediate medical evaluation if you experience severe contact dermatitis, persistent burning, marked facial swelling, or symptoms of an allergic reaction.

Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic
