Pros Clears skin of pimples and acne scars
Reduces oily skin
Cons No cons!
Bottom line I, like most acne sufferers, had tried most everything. I was prescribed Duac and Retin-A. What I found from those two products was that Retin-A was stronger for use on zits, which I didn't have much of. Duac was a miracle on the smaller pimples and scars. Only use it at night and in the morning, use a moisturizer with sunscreen. A good brand is Eucerin or Advocare Definite Difference.

Pros no strong smell
gets rid of most acne
easy to apply
Cons slight irritation
itches
dries out skin
Bottom line It is okay. It gets rid of most of my acne, but not all. Duac dries out my skin a lot. Every night I apply it, but in the morning I have to use witch hazel to get rid of the dry skin. I would recommend this for those who have lighter acne.

Pros Easy to use
Cons Drying, irritating (itches), didn't improve acne (it worsened), inflammation associated with use
Bottom line I started using this medication after I was successfully clear for nearly a year with minocycline and was prescribed this by my family practice doctor. I am a teenager so maybe my hormones affected my skin but within 2 weeks my face flared up with new red and peeling acne that was quite painful. After applying the medication for 4 weeks total, it only further exacerbated the acne. Never again...

Pros Really improved my severe teenage acne, removed excess oil.
Cons Not completely clear, yet, scabs left from previous spots
Bottom line Even though it is not completely clear, the doctor said that it would be two months before it started giving results. This week I have been using it twice a day for two months and a dramatic difference - no excess oil and very few blemishes (no spots, just scabs from former ones). It has really boosted my self-esteem and stuff.

Pros Clears ALOT after just a day !
Spots go away .
Tones skin .
Cons Alittle drying , but if your desparate for clear skin , you'll deal with it .
Bottom line My acne was BAD . It was EVERYWHERE !! It got bad about 7 months ago .
& i have every in store product in my house , but none of them worked . Forreal , i gave each of them 2 weeks . & if anything it got worse ! It became a self esteam issue . So i went too the dermotologist . BEST THING I EVER DID ! Trust me . They gave me Duac gel , Retin-a , & a pill called doxycycline . Its amazing ! It has cleared my skin like nothing else . It is VERY reccomended .

Pros -Doesn't burn that much
-absorbs into skin well
-does help acne a little
Cons -helps acne, but barely. I've been using it for 1 month and a half and i've only seen very minor improvement.
Bottom line I think it's not worth the time.. It works a little, but so do a LOT of creams. You might as well look for other options because, at least for me, it didn't do much more than a regular benzoyl peroxide treatment. If for some reason it magically starts working for me then I will re-post, but as of now, I've seen little to very little improvement.

Pros Clears most acne
Cons Doesn't clear everything
Can cause dryness
Takes a while to work.
Bottom line Duac definitely works to clear up acne better than anything else that I have ever tried. If you are struggling with your acne, go to the derm and ask for this. I have another review on here about this item that I wrote three weeks into use. Now, months later, I can change my opinion a little and say that Duac definitely works. At least for me it did.

Pros it works really fast and gets rid of pimples, small bumps and redness
Cons really drys out skin
Bottom line The first time i used Duac i was using Clearasil Ultra 100% face wash, and after 5 days my face started to peel. So i stopped using it. I recently realized that using Duac with 2% Salicylic Acid really irritates your skin. I started using Duac again about a week ago but this time with Cetephil gentle skin cleanser and Duac still dried my skin, but not as bad. Every morning and night i scrub my face with Clinique dramatically different moisturizer AND MY ACNE IS BASICALLY GONE. use this product.
