Acne is a condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It usually affects teenagers and young adults but older adults can also have it. A wide range of treatments is available for acne, ranging from creams and tablets to lasers and extractions.

If you’re not sure if you have acne, you can get a quick diagnosis with our photo diagnosis service without booking an appointment or leaving your home.

To place an order, fill in a brief questionnaire. One of our doctors will review your order and prescribe a treatment if suitable. Existing patients should login first.

How our service works

  • Complete a short questionnaire about your health.
  • A Superdrug Online Doctor will write back to you to let you know which treatments are eligible for you.
  • You will then be able to select and pay for your treatment.
  • Orders received before 4pm will be sent out the same day. Orders received after 4pm will be sent out the next working day.
  • Your treatment will be posted to you via your choice of first class or next day delivery.
  • This will be contactless delivery. Someone will need to be home to tell the courier that they can sign on your behalf or they won't be able to deliver your parcel.
  • The treatment arrives in plain, discreet packaging.

Side effects from the antibiotics we offer are rare but can include: 

  • nausea
  • diarrhoea
  • skin rashes

There are lots of products available over-the-counter in your local pharmacy that may help treat your acne. You should try these products before trying our prescription-only medicines.

Your GP should be able to give you further advice about other treatments for your acne.

If you would like to discuss your condition with one of our online doctors, you can also book a telephone consultation for further advice.
