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

I was prescribed this by my dermatologist and have been using for about 3 months. I have suffered with back acne since the age of 15 and acne on my cheeks which developed around the age of 21 (I am now 22). I'd recommend this as a great quick fix e.g. if a large spot appears and you apply the gel to it at night, by the morning it will be significantly reduced. However, for a more long term solution I'd recommend taking a medication e.g. I take 1 408mg Lymecycline tablet twice a day and have seen an improvement on my back acne

Started using this as I had mild acne on my chest worked perfectly and cleared it all up but it comeback so I got a new tube off the doctor and I woke up this morning with a rash on my forehead and chest this has never happened before so I am unsure if I should keep using it or not as I would really like to clear up my chest

This cream is a godsend for people who have never used it before/for people who have never used topical creams before. It WILL clear your face up, you just need to give it some time (I'd say around 3/4 months). BUT, this cream WILL dry your face out therefore it is recommended for you to use moisturisers and gentle exfoliating creams (to remove skin flakes and dead skin). For me personally, this was the first topical cream I had ever used and it worked perfectly. I used it at the end of high school and had a completely clear face with no scars at the beginning of college. When you stop using this cream, your acne may or may not come back. This depends on how you stop using this. If you slowly and gradually reduce the amount you apply to your face, your acne will have less of a chance of coming back. HOWEVER. If you abruptly stop using Duac, it may come back with a vengeance. For me, this cream lost its usefulness the more I applied it over the years. I would stop using it and then start using it again after a couple of months. Just recently, my acne has started becoming worse and I was therefore prescribed this cream again. But it has done absolutely nothing to help my skin. So I have mixed opinions about Duac and believe it is only particularly useful to those who have never used it before.

after curing pimple will it will leave dark spots on face

I think Duac is middle of the road. It works well for spot treatment but tends to be too harsh for put all over. Plus, expensive!

ive just started using this cream and so far it has cleared up my acne a little bit my whole face is actually clear apart from a patch on my cheek of a few redish spots/acne and i hate it and just want it gone.am going to use this product for a month and if nothing hapens iam going to try a different product, i will write anova review in 3 weeks time and let u all no how im geting on x

Duac is definitely more effective than any OTC products you can buy, but for more severe acne (such as ones that leave marks like mine) there are much more effective acne prescriptions out there that will help. I used Retin-A Micro after Duac and personally had the much better results with that. However, it is important to atleast try Duac for a month or so first to see if it works for you. I definitely think those with more mild forms of acne should give Duac a shot.

I would recommend duac for spot treatment so don't over apply or dryness will defiantly be an issue. I have oily skin and this stuff is somehow capable of drying it out. I've been using the it for over two years and it's worked better than everything else i have tried, and believe me... i've been through my fair share of acne product nightmares

If you have insurance overage then its perfect, and it works but if not then its NOT worth the money.

it works very well. i stopped using it and my face was messed
