| Pros | gets rid of acne reduces excess oil |
|---|---|
| Cons | expensive! can cause over drying if you don't properly moisturize |
| Bottom line | I started getting acne after I stopped using birth control pills. In the matter of 2 months my hormonal acne quickly went from mild do moderately severe. I went to the dermatologist and I started using Duac in December of 2010 and April 2011 my skin was completely clear with the exception of hyperpigmentation marks from previous acne. By May 2011 my skin was completely clear and hyperpigment-free. My regimen consisted of the following: -AM- Cerave cleanser & pat dry Duac gel all over face Murad skin perfecting lotion -PM- Cerave cleanser & pat dry Ziana gel all over face Cerave PM facial moisturizing lotion **I also had 2 chemical peels performed at my dermatologists office during the first 6 weeks of my treatment. These were TERRIBLE and made my skin much worse. My doctor then suggested I have a pulsed light/heat energy therapy treatment. I had two sessions of this and noticed great improvement after each one. **Occasionally I would use the Proactive refining mask as a spot treatment over night after my Cerave lotion if I had large pimple coming on. **Occasionally I would use CVS brand 10% benzoyl peroxide acne spot gel in the AM after my Murad lotion if I had a cluster of small pimples. I followed this regimen religiously for 5 months and my stubborn acne that I thought would never go away was finally gone. Also, even though it is not recommended my dermatologists, I think that being in the sun during the month of May really helped to fade my hyperpigmentation spots. I originally thought they only appeared faded because I got a sun tan but now that my tan has faded quite a bit it is obvious that the marks have indeed faded as well. |

| Pros | Left My skin feeling smooth, tightens skin, gets rid of small breakouts. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Didn't completely clear my acne. |
| Bottom line | I will continue to use it even if it wasn't perfect, just for the fact that it made my skin very soft. |

| Pros | Cleared up minor breakouts immediately. Maintains clear skin. Easy to apply. Little to no irritation. One of the best topicals available. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Minor drying. |
| Bottom line | I have used many topicals over the years and Duac is the only one that has shown dramatic results. It is expensive, but in my opinion it is well worth the cost. My dermatologist said that many of her patients have had great success with Duac and she did not hesitate to prescribe it. |

| Pros | It bleaches skin so red marks seem less red |
|---|---|
| Cons | Has improved acne 0% Expensive |
| Bottom line | This stuff should work as expensive as it is. But the fact is, it hasn't yet, and I've been using it for over 3 weeks. I'll continue to use it because my doctor assures me that it will work. Ha! Yeah, just like everything else that's supposed to work. I am using it as I take doxycycline and I have seen zero improvement. Woohoo, it's fun not being able to enjoy life. |

| Pros | Cleared the spots and small bumps i had on my back |
|---|---|
| Cons | Bleaches fabrics Too strong for my face- terrible flaking, redness and burning. |
| Bottom line | This really helped the spots i started to get on my back after starting Yasmin. I also had skin like sandpaper which improved massively with Duac. I did find it way too harsh though on my face, which seems to be more sensitive. My skin became so flaky, red and sore and i had to stop after about 4 weeks as it looked so bad |

| Pros | Prevents acne Makes skin less oily Heals pimples quickly Works quickly |
|---|---|
| Cons | Makes skin sensitive for first week Makes skin dry Burns at first |
| Bottom line | I used this when I was 16 or so with differin gel and had the clearest skin of my life. Consistent use is essential and the combination of benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin in duac works wonders. The key is consistency. You have to be rigorous with its use. It does dry the skin out and make it very sensitive and gives it a burning feeling for the first couple of weeks but you can feel that it's working. I noticed an improvement in a few days and had NO initial breakout. |

| Pros | Clears skin Has benzyol peroxide in it |
|---|---|
| Cons | Bleaches some fabrics Drying Expensive |
| Bottom line | The benzyol peroxide in Duac really helps clear skin fast. Salicylic acid never works for my skin, but benzyol peroxide does, so it's nice to have a product like this. It is very drying, but using a moisturizer (like Pond's) helps with that. Don't use this stuff around your eyes, it burns. The stuff can be expensive, but it works really well (for me at least). |
