My dermatologist has put me on everything under the sun, I think! Accutane included. Duac is the only thing that has consistently worked, unfortunately it is not covered by my insurance so it's super-expensive, but a tube lasts me a very long time. I love this stuff!

It works just fine. I was on accutane for 8 weeks. My skins cleared but acne returned. Now just using duac seems to help.
I'm amazed because previously topical creams/gels were not of any help.

1 week so far. At first it was disturbing, I have been using less and now only spot treating. Very Drying! Use sparingly. Oh and if used at night time watch what your face comes in contact with My red pillow case now has a pink spot on it !

Duac dries up any pimple in about 1 or 2 days for me. However, it is very drying and I only use a little and moisturize ALOT the next day.

The best thing I have used. It cleared my skin within DAYS, something BP alone was unable to do after many months.

Made my acne much worse.....it's probably the BP since I usually do well with clindamycin.

I like duac because it calms and treats. I have sensitive and dry skin that breaks out and it transformed a bad breakout in literally 2 days. It can be very drying but for the most part, if you monitor how much you use and how often, it is a great product. Unfortunately it costs me over 100 dollars becasue my insurance doesn't cover dermatological products so that stinks. Even so, I think it is worth it.
