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

It totally helped me. I originally had light acne, where I'd get about 5-10 random pimples on my face, but I just dealt with it. Then I moved to NYC and I worked and went to school and got super stressed out and my face broke out, like terribly! My face was covered when that had never happened before. So I tried proactiv, murad, some natural stuff, and other random products, but nothing worked. So finally I went to a dermatologist and they put me on Duac, Adoxa and Differen (just once a week). And for the first month I thought it wasn't working, but they told me to just hold out. So I did, and I also switched to mineral makeup n had this skin lady (she worked at the dermatologist, but had a side job at the hair salon specifically helping acne sufferers, but did other skin care things as well) basically pop all my zits ( it kinda hurt, n it made them worse for a week, but after that it only improved). And finally after that it got better. Slowly my face cleared up. And now it's been 6 months and I have practically perfect skin (minus a zit by my lips but that's from my chapstick lol, and some light red scars that only I see, because when I tell ppl they say Im crazy haha) And my skin is even better than ever!

I have extremely oily skin that can be flaky at the same time if I use the wrong products. I have been using Benzaclin in the mornings for two years and have seen amazing results. I put Benzaclin on in the morning first and then add a little Boscia moisturizer around my nostrils and other areas that are prone to dryness. I also use Tazorac three times a week at night. It is known to dry skin very quickly but I put moisturizer on first and then add the tiniest pea size amount of Tazorac. Sometimes these topical ointments are too powerful alone and the addition of a light non-oil based moisturizer can do the trick. I can still get a bit oily during the day, but my cystic acne has stopped. But keep in mind that oil can be great. You age much more slowly!

great but if you have severe acne look into adding something else along with it. great for oil control though.

absolutely give this a shot, it was my miracle cure for acne

This is the best thing I have ever used for my face. With insurance, it still cost me $50 for the small tub of it but I am so glad I got it. I have had stubborn acne on my forehead and chin that have bothered me for years, after countless OTC products and even some other Rx treatments from the dermatologist, I found something that works. It cleared up everything and left me with the smooth, radiant complexion that I was convinced I'd never be able to get.

What i wanted to get rid of it didnt. But great for Whitehead and blckhead clearing

It really clears up your skin quickly. One of the side effects was redness, though I felt that it cleared the redness on my forehead and cheeks a lot so that was a plus for me. Even my grandmother, who doesn't have the best eyesight... noticed a difference! Some are irritated by the dry skin effect, but thats the method of the Benzaclin. Benzaclin works by drying and peeling the skin of the pimples, but my skin didn't dry out that bad at all. I think that if you have really oily skin (like me) then it won't dry as bad. Just use an oil-free moisturizer!

It's the only thing that has ever worked for me. I had very oily skin so the drying effect that others have noted was actually welcomed. I follow my Duac application with a moisturizer. I also use it twice a day: before bed and in the morning under my makeup. Otherwise, I would wake up with breakouts or would get them during the day under my makeup. Perhaps this product is best for someone with very very oily skin and very very severe cystic acne. I should note that it did take 6-8 weeks to see the full effect and I recall that after the first week or so thinking that my skin looked a little worse but the Dr. did warn me of this and told me to stick it out and he was right. Also, unlike others,I have not had any problems with this product bleaching my skin or fabrics.

gets rid of pimples very well but if you have sensitive skin i wouldn't reccommend it.. well maybe just apply it to certain spots that need it, not over whole areas

It works, does not terribly dry out skin, does not smell bad, and has a great texture.
