This is by far the best prescription medication I've ever been given. It made a big difference in my skin. I went from having really inflamed, painful acne to just occasional, small blemishes that only lasted 2 or 3 days tops. Best of all, I have really sensitive skin and I never felt any burning, itching, irritation at all. I remember thinking it could not be working because my face didn't hurt after I put it on! But it really did work well for me. I noticed a lot of the negative posts are from people who used this along with Differin. I wonder if it is not the Differin that has caused your problems. I switched from Duac to Differin and that was the biggest mistake I ever made. I am going to the dermo tomorrow to get off of Differin and back on Duac!!

I was given duac by my doctor a few weeks ago, which i applied once at night. I did see some improvements, though not much, and it DOESNT LAST i ran out by the 2nd week. And within a week my skin was just as bad as usual. I have now got another tube to try again, and it's been 5 days, with no results. I really, really hope it works!!!! i'm so depressed abput my skin! how long did anyone else find it takes to work? and has anyone else also found it runs out v quickly???

I used the accutane for 6 months and my face has been clear for over a year. all of a sudden my face started getting oily and started developing pimples more then often. i seen the doctor again and he prescribed my Retinol micro for night and duac for the a.m my face has since been clearing in only 2 weeks, but i do have dryness and slight burning which is not a problem considering the pimples would be worse. Other then that this product has been good to me so far.

I used duac for over a year an it seemed to work well reducing the amount of spots i had. It helps a bit with the fading of red marks. I stopped using it for about 2 months over the summer (dont do this) major breakouts started again. just started using it again for the past week, no real results yet but i will keep using it because i know it works

i have struggled with acne since i was thirteen, i am now almost 15, and i have tried EVERYTHING!!! i am just beginning to use tazorac and duac...both at night time after i cleanse. I just wanted to know if anyone could give me recommendations on a good GENTLE cleanser that i could use before i put on the medications!?!?!
HELP ME PLEASE!!!

I was homeschooled all of seventh grade. During that period of time I got alot.....(and i mean alot) of pimples. I was very stressed at the time (having just gone through depression) and my skin was out of control!!!!!!!!!I had the biggest pimples mainly on my cheeks and little ones on my nose and forehead. I would never let anyone see me without makeup on. My mom took me to the doctor and she prescribed duac and differin. the first 4 weeks i really didnt notice a difference. Over the summer it got alittle better and then when i started school agian , and a real school i noticed it cleared up. That was 1 1/2 to 2 months into the product. now my skin is completely clear, although i do get some pimples here and there, but everything else is PERFECT!!!! I have to say i had my doubts abotut his product, but i gave it time and it really made a difference. I feel way better about myself now.
