Duac : Clindamycin (1.2%) and Benzoyl Peroxide (5%) Gel

Personally, I didn't like this stuff. My Dr prescribed me it and retin-a. This stuff stung like crazy for me! I think the 5% bp is too much for my skin maybe? And it was not because of the retin-a, because i did a bit of a test and used only benzaclin for the 1st month and i couldn't handle the stinging(maybe im a wuss), but it never subsided until i wiped it off. Very irritating! So anyways, i've heard great things about this stuff, but for me personally didn't work. (hence the no recommendation) everyones skin is different! retin-a did wonders tho if interested :)

I think it's not worth the time.. It works a little, but so do a LOT of creams. You might as well look for other options because, at least for me, it didn't do much more than a regular benzoyl peroxide treatment. If for some reason it magically starts working for me then I will re-post, but as of now, I've seen little to very little improvement.

I have used duac in the past in my teens in the middle of GCSEs, and it worked a treat. I then headed to univeristy it is my third year now and my skin has been awful! I was diagnosed with Lupus last year and the prednisolone is messing my skin up. So the doctor said to used duac again, as i ahvent been using it for 2 years. I have been on duac for 2 weeks. the first 2 days my skin was urning and dry also my eye lid did swell up. I have more breakouts than before and my big spots have turned to white heads i am not sure if thats how it works. So no improvement as such yet. I dont pick my spots so hopefully they will fade. does this how it works? you breakout first?

It worked great i saw results in a month because i was using it with retin A but it surely cleared out my skin like no other product did.Worth the try and the only product that did its job!

Best for very light acne. If you have severe acne this may not work for you.

its a good product if you stick with it while using it consistently however i find it will not remove 100% of my hormonal acne but has still cleared it up considerably and is constantly getting better

i used this product for three months. it made whiteheads and comedones out of all my pores (yes, ALL my pores! pores that NEVER broke out) but my skin never improved. one month after i stopped using it, i've seen no improvement. my skin has never looked so bad. use with caution.

Wouldn't recommend it to anybody, but it works nice to keep pimples away.

I've had pretty severe acne for the last 9 years. I've tried every over-the-counter treatment and have a few different prescriptions, and this has been the best treatment I've found. It quickly dries up zits and has begun to clear up all of the acne on my chin. I use a great moisturizer every day, and that helps with the drying. I only use Benzaclin at night to prevent overdrying. It's a bit expensive, but you can print off a rebate on the Benzaclin website!

my acne used to be BAD, i had i think it's either nodular or cystic acne, like i would have huge lumps under my skin all over my cheeks, i would hide literally. i have been using this for 1-2 months, my acne is alottttt less now, though i have quite the scarring/inflammation :( it is a good medication; i have very oily skin so it basically normalized that part. dried it a little, but i'm down with that. this is not a medication that gives you fast results; it'll be a few weeks until the acne starts to diminish, it will seem like the acne occurence is slowing down, you are getting less pimples, then the acne just almost goes away completely, except for the occasional bump or two. overall, it's a pretty good cream (: oh and i'm using some home remedies and taking oral medicine as well.
