This medication cleared my acne immediately. After more than 20 years this is the only thing that has worked for me.
It's incredible!

I have only used it once and its seemed to work fine. It kept my face non oily all day. I havent used it since because im not a big fan of gel face cleansers. But besides that it seemed to work fine the one time I used.

I only apply Duac for about 2-3 hours per night because of the harsh effects on my skin (i.e. redness) But using this in conjunction with Cidal saop has really helped. Before, only roaccutane cleared my skin so I am happy that I have finally found something else that wont potentially kill me!

Every now and then I apply the gel overnight, but this is once or twice a week otherwise I turn into a beetroot!!!!

Works well for me. Controls outbreaks and calms my flared up sebaceous glands.

Without insurance, it costs $100 a bottle, cost me $50 co-pay (insurance would only cover 50% because it is newer). Just started using it but I think benzoyl peroxide alone does about the same thing. It is starting to make my face red - I am using it with differin so it could be a combination of the two.

As far as medications go that I have used, Duac seemed very mild. I used it every morning. It feels sticky when it first goes on, but once it drys, it is not. Duac has not really had any effect at clearing up my acne, but using it with Tazorac and antibiotics, my break outs are controled, but it does nothing for any breaking out due to PMS
