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

This is one of the best products I have ever used and I highly recommend it. Although it seems expensive, you use very little of it on your skin, that it doesn't run out easily. Good for people with sensitive skin, works very quickly, and when used consistently you can have clear skin quickly. This is so good, best product ever! Very happy!

I think this is an amazing product and has actually gave me alot of confidence! I honestly never thought i would see what i looked like without spots, couple more weeks or months maybe and i will be able to say 'My skin is perfect!' Wow, that will be a day. Also, have salt water baths every day, i don't know if it just works while on this, but i have tried it a week and all red nes has gone from my face so im going to stick with it! It's free in the UK to if your under 16 or 18. MAKE SURE YOU USE IT EVERYNIGHT OR IT WILL NOT WORK! I would of loved for it to work over night, but it's nearly gone now & i couldn't be more happier.

I was prescribed this medication for my hormonal breakouts. I generally would get anywhere from 3-8 pimples right before my period. I started using this and after about 3 weeks I noticed a HUGE difference. Now, I usually only get one pimple a month, sometimes none at all! The only downside to using this is that it is drying, so I put it on at night, and use a good moisturizer every morning to help with the dryness. It's also worth getting a good exfoliator to use twice weekly to help get rid of any dead skin.

I am 18 and I started having trouble with my skin at 17. I tried bc pills (OTC and YAZ), benzaclin, and tazorac (not all at once) and my complexion got substantially worse. In addition, I lost a lot of hair while on and after taking YAZ. I tried a new derm two weeks ago and she started me on Duac at bedtime and Nicomide pills (one a day for now). My skin is 80% better after only two weeks! My cheeks and forehead are smooth again. This is the only product that has worked for me. I highly recommend trying it.

My pediatrician gave me a few little sample tubs to try for free over a month and a half ago. I wasn't noticing a difference. I was being super careful to use it on only each individual spot and applied it twice a day like she instructed. I finally got super frustrated and decided I might as well just use it up, and that's when it started working. It has steadily cleared up my breakout and it still working. I just finished the sample and am going to get a prescription, because it was totally worth it, even if it is a little pricey. The bottles look big though, and with insurance I think i'll actually spend less money than I was on useless over-the-counter stuff. All in all, it's worth a try, it seems to work for most people and you have nothing to lose. It really works for me, I love it so far!

Started Mid July 2011 by end of July 2011 my skin was completely clear. My acne was bad, very bad and ive had it for over 9 years. Duac worked wonderfully. Please try it. My derm also gave me trimethoprim(antibiotic) so think the combination has worked well but i attribute the bulk of the results to the duac. I no longer worry about how my face looks, sometimes i forget i actually had acne. Now the only thing left to do is resolved the psychological problems that have arisen as a result of the acne over the past 9 years

I will continue to use it even if it wasn't perfect, just for the fact that it made my skin very soft.

I am a 31 year old female and have been suffering from adult acne that has been worsening over the last year. This winter has really done a job and I have been getting really really bad large reddned raised pimples that seem to be appearing and reappearing in the same areas (cheeks, jaw and above eyebrow). The breakouts seem to start about 1 week before my menstrual cycle and last about 3 weeks before calming down. I started using the Duac and after a few weeks I realized that I wasn't getting any new breakouts (even right before my next cycle), but it wasn't doing much to help the breakouts that were already there. After about 5-6 weeks I started getting another bad breakout of 4-5 new pimples and decided to try something else. Went to the derm and he gave me epiduo and doxycycline which I have been on for the last week and am already seeing results. I wanted to love Duac because it wasn't harsh - despite the 5% BP. Altogether I gave Duac about 7 weeks before deciding to change treatment. I am currently using epiduo samples but when they run out I plan to ask for generic differin (adapalene) and then I will go back to the duac in combination with the adapalene. My research on Duac indicated that it works best in combination with other topicals, so I will update on that later.

After 6 weeks of taking minicycline without seeing any improvement of my acne, I saw my doctor feeling dejected. As a 15-yr-old, I've never had many problems with acne in the past, and although I don't suffer from cysts, my acne was definitely beginning to affect me negatively - particularily my confidence. All I can say now is that I'm relieved I decided to give this cream a try. I've used it for about a week and while I wouldn't call my improvement in that time drastic, the fact that I've been able to see a small improvement every day has been a huge relief and highly encouraging. Over the past few weeks, I've had very small pimples spreading almost rash-like over my cheeks, chin, and forehead. Just to be able to see some clear patches appear and the redness go down has almost returned me to feeling like my normal self. My only complaint is the affect of this treatment on my sensitive skin. After use, it makes the skin feel very tight - you can't really move your face, at all - but this isn't a huge problem for me because I use it before bed. And although it burns a little bit, especially with the first few uses, this doesn't really bother me because it feels like a very small sacrifice I have to make for clearer skin! Even if you don't have high hopes, I would really recommend giving this product a try. In just a week, it has given me most of my life back.

This product is amazing at first. i used it for a month and it cleared all my acne along with the scars to 90%. i was taking doxycycline 100mg alongwith Duac. just give it a try if you love your skin. i have recomended it to a lot of my friends suffering from acne since years at my university and they love me for this. it has completely cleared their faces. it only depends how your skin responds to it. but eventually it is my last resort and i love this product.
