| Pros | Cleared up my acne Prevents future breakouts |
|---|---|
| Cons | Dried out my skin at first Bleaches clothes Expensive Takes a few weeks to work Causes breakouts before you clear up Must be applied daily to see results |
| Bottom line | Duac has cleared up my skin very quickly. I use this product with Retin-A Micro everyday and I saw results in a few weeks. I have to say that this is the clearest my skin has been in a long time and it feels great. Duac severely dried out my skin for the first two weeks or so and it was very painful. It also bleaches clothes easily so you have to be careful when you apply it. I think it is still a great product. It has definitely cleared up my skin. |

| Pros | -cleared my cystic acne in just a month. -reduced facial hair. -made my skin glow. |
|---|---|
| Cons | -can be oily on skin. -my skin turn extremely red. -can only be applied once in a day. -a lil expensive. |
| Bottom line | This product is amazing at first. i used it for a month and it cleared all my acne along with the scars to 90%. i was taking doxycycline 100mg alongwith Duac. just give it a try if you love your skin. i have recomended it to a lot of my friends suffering from acne since years at my university and they love me for this. it has completely cleared their faces. it only depends how your skin responds to it. but eventually it is my last resort and i love this product. |

| Pros | No odor. Easy to use. Seriously helps your acne. Pimples slowly fade away. It really helped me, I've really bad acne, and I've still a pretty long way to go, but it has dramatically helped. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Redness. Dryness. Bleaches hair and clothes. If not consistent, it isn't really very effective. |
| Bottom line | This is a solid medicine, often perscribed. It works very well, it's not a miracle medicine. It takes time, as all acne medicines do, just be consistent and you'll see definite changes. |

| Pros | -It helped clear a spot on my face pretty quickly for me and my brother who even had much worse acne and he was impressed - It doesn't have a bad smell - Easy to apply |
|---|---|
| Cons | - I personally had an allergic reaction after the third day. - It bleaches clothes and hair as my doctor warned me. |
| Bottom line | We are taking Minocycline with Duac as the doctor recommended. It seems that I have to contact my doctor and find a replacement for Duac because I am allergic to it. On the other hand, my brother doesn't have any problem with it and he likes it. I guess it depends on you, overall it is definitely worth a try. |

| Pros | It's easy to use (I apply it at night) Works well |
|---|---|
| Bottom line | It totally helped me. I originally had light acne, where I'd get about 5-10 random pimples on my face, but I just dealt with it. Then I moved to NYC and I worked and went to school and got super stressed out and my face broke out, like terribly! My face was covered when that had never happened before. So I tried proactiv, murad, some natural stuff, and other random products, but nothing worked. So finally I went to a dermatologist and they put me on Duac, Adoxa and Differen (just once a week). And for the first month I thought it wasn't working, but they told me to just hold out. So I did, and I also switched to mineral makeup n had this skin lady (she worked at the dermatologist, but had a side job at the hair salon specifically helping acne sufferers, but did other skin care things as well) basically pop all my zits ( it kinda hurt, n it made them worse for a week, but after that it only improved). And finally after that it got better. Slowly my face cleared up. And now it's been 6 months and I have practically perfect skin (minus a zit by my lips but that's from my chapstick lol, and some light red scars that only I see, because when I tell ppl they say Im crazy haha) And my skin is even better than ever! |

| Pros | Keeps acne under control, no fowl smell, fast and easy to apply |
|---|---|
| Cons | It's a prescription, can be harsh on the skin, makes acne worse if you don't stay consistent |
| Bottom line | This is a good medication for those who want to keep acne under control, but it did not completely get rid of my acne. I needed to use another cleanser just to keep my face smooth and clean-feeling because this medication left it dried out and peeling because of the ingredients. Whenever I would skip using it, even for one day, my acne would flare up and get even worse than it was to begin with! If you stick with the medication and have only moderate acne, this product should be fine. |

| Pros | Does its job, reduces acne, easy to apply. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Dry skin (but the longer I've used this, the less my skin got dry because it got used to it). Doesn't clear ALL pimples. |
| Bottom line | I've used this product for nearly two years and it definitely has kept my acne under control but I wasn't 100% clear. Still, couldn't complain because my face was getting better. Whenever I ran out of this, my face would get really horrible again and I had to quickly make an appointment with the doctor to get another one. I used to apply this twice a day but reduced it once a day at night, which I find is the best time to apply it. I no longer use this product now though, because for some reason, it doesn't work on me as well as it used to :( I've switched to Panoxyl Gel, which works slightly better for me and is cheaper. However, I would recommend Duac because the bottom line is, it DOES work, but it doesn't cure acne, just clears it up. |

| Pros | None |
|---|---|
| Cons | Severe allergic reaction. After 3 applications according to the directions, my skin was: - bright red, as though I had been badly sunburned - even make up wouldn't hide it - tight, as though I had a face mask on - covered in small bumps - swollen - extremely itchy - I felt as though I wanted to scratch my face off - very flaky a few days after that. These side effects occurred in the area where I applied the gel (chin and under nose), as well as surrounding areas (cheeks |
| Bottom line | Avoid this product like the plague, particularly if you have sensitive skin. I have never had this kind of reaction to any product I have used before, and I have tried lots of them. I had to go to my doctor who recommended a cortisone cream to settle my face down. I also contacted the company to let them know and ask about a refund, but they refused to take any responsibility, as they said any medication can have side effects. I called the Department of Fair Trading who basically said that I was wasting my time in trying to recover my money. If this was a cosmetic and this reaction occurred, money wold be refunded immediately. Think long and hard before using this. I would have liked to give zero stars it was that bad, but had to give one. |

| Pros | Worked, easy to apply and it was free for me (on prescription). |
|---|---|
| Cons | Stopped working after a long while. I guess my skin just got used to it. |
| Bottom line | I was very happy with this product for a long time, but now it sadly doesn't seem to work. I think that may be the anti biotic part of the cream. I'm now happily moving back over to BP gel.. and wondering why I stopped just using that. |

| Pros | For short periods of time it works |
|---|---|
| Cons | It's not consistent at all |
| Bottom line | I used Duac along with Differin, and washing my face every day and my acne became worse than just using off the shelf-acen clearasil products. Before I took these products my acne was moderate, after Duac my acne became severe. |
