Hi,
I just started the regime tonight! I live in Ireland so am reluctant to order the products on here as it'l cost loads. There arent any products here with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide so I got Duac Gel which has 5% BP. Is this ok as a substitute? It also says not to use for more than 12 weeks. But the regime is meant to be a form of continuous maintenance so Im confused as to whether its ok to use duac or not? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

I would say no it's too strong, and also has another ingredient in it that should only be used once a day. It will severely dry your skin out if you use it twice a day. So if you want to use it I would say once a day with a good moisturiser like Cetaphil. On the plus side, this gel worked quite well for me.
