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

The product now comes with a face wash/moisturizer and it helps with the dry skin. Really good product overall. It really helped my skin.

I want to shout on the rooftops how well this product has worked for me. I've been struggling with moderate/severe acne since I was 13, (I'm 24!) and I have tried EVERY otc medicine, wash, astringent, spot treatment etc. I am so glad I found this product. It has completely cleared my face, every once in awhile I'll get one little pimple somewhere but it isn't NEARLY as bad as it used to be. This product has given me back my confidence. I have been using this product for about 8 weeks now, and it took me about 6 weeks to see extremely awesome results. I now use it every 2-3 days now that my skin is clear, because it does make your skin dry. I recommend using it at night before you go to bed, otherwise your face will look flaky if you're going to school, work, whatever. I wash my face in the morning with Aveeno moisturizing bar, and follow it up with acne medicated lotion, then at night I wash my face with Neutrogena Acne formula bar soap and follow up with the Duac.

i was recommended by my derm after having my hormonal zits that are huge. Have been using this gel for a week now. it stated as it can be very drying. It zaps the pimple very quickly and immediately reduces it the next day. Normally my pimple will takes about a week to heal but this zaps the pimple within 2-3 days only. I also used this on my whiteheads. However, it leaves dark spots (like sunburn spots) where the pimple and whiteheads used to be on my forehead that is very annoying. Wished that it will not leave those spots otherwise it will be perfect for me. Will only use it to zap those huge pimples

I used to have a lot of spots on my forehead, cheeks and chin. I started using duac gel 1 year ago and i have to say that it has changed my life. I have absolutely no spots on my face at all it has all cleared. However at the start of my treatment my skin was dry and flaky but that can be avoided by using an oil free moisturiser preferably cetaphil. If you urgently want to get rid of your spots i would highly recommend duac gel and also drink a lot of water.

Mid 2014, around June was the worst my skin had ever been. With around 10 pimples on each cheek and my T-zone covered in redness. I was prescribed Duac after using countless chemist products but also Differin and Epiduo which many people claimed to work. I even tried chinese herbal medicine when I was desperate. The first few days were hard, I had flaky and burning skin with redness all over my face. Despite this, my pimples definitely cleared and in two months time i had no pimples and was left with a lot of hyperpigmentaion (flat acne scars). This honestly helped me so much, when i had acne i wouldn't even leave the house without heavy make-up nor would i have any confidence to look or talked to people. Now that i've used up my Duac gel, I have purchased just Benzoyl Peroxide 5% (It's basically Duac without the Clindamycin) and it still works wonders. Do try this!

Back when I was 14 I ended up with bad acne and occasionally cystic acne on my forehead, near the brows . I was put on this by my doctor and with-in a month my face was 100% clear! after using it for a year i noticed i had grown out of my acne by the age of 20... fast fwd to age 25 and I started having acne again but this time it was just focused at the cheeks (i'm told this is hormonal acne?). again i requested to be put on duac. unfortunately, it doesnt do wonders on hormonal acne. its taken care of most the little white heads but its not done anything for the cystic ones I'm getting in my cheeks. I've been referred to a derm, the scaring on my cheeks from this newest (now year long) break out is depressing. my pores from the cystic are blown out enlarged from the swelling.

Duac has saved my skin in the past. I quit using it last time and in 5-6 months my acne came back full force, so you MUST maintain treatment with any benzoyl peroxide topical. I have since begun to use it again (following a horrible experience with Differin 1%) and in 3 weeks my dryness is subsiding and my acne has improved. I think one of the most important things about this treatment is that you must use it in the correct way, STARTING SLOWLY and you must accompany use with a good, gentle skincare regime. Equally, you have to expect that your skin will become dry but it will pass, and it can take up to 8 weeks for your skin to show real improvement. My skin in weeks 2 and 3 of my treatment was red and peeling to the point where I didn't want to leave the house, I felt like I had just replaced my acne with an equally horrible skin condition! But it WILL pass with gentle and consistent use. I only apply Duac at night. At first I also applied a gentle moisturiser on top (Burts Bees Daily Sensitive Moisturiser) but now I apply only the Duac and leave it to work alone. I get my moisture from my daytime skincare. I think Duac can be a vital component in beating acne, but only if it is accompanied by a good, solid skincare routine and patience.

I've been using this for a few months and my face is completely clear (occasional flare up depending on how consistently I'm using it /makeup products.) Use it every night and you will not regret it. Worked like a miracle for me

Duac Topical Gel works! I have struggled with acne since High School and this is a great product, especially for stubborn acne its a great spot treatment. Duac combined with my other products (Ziana Gel) have cleared up my skin completely. Use this stuff sparingly, a little will go a long way. I used a bit too much at first and my skin became dry in some areas, even flaky. A good moisturizer helped resolve this as well as using a lot less Duac. I apply in the a.m. after my morning face wash (BP Cleansing Wash). It goes on easy and is pretty much invisible when you don't over apply. I highly recommend this product!

I can hardly believe it: My skin is clearing up!!!! I've had adult acne (dermatologist said it's hormonal) for several years now, moderate on my face with bad body acne and a few cystic ones. I've tried oral antibiotics, drug store products with salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide (washes, toners, astringents, scrubs, body washes, creams, gels, ointments!), Proactiv, tea tree oil, gentle soaps, and lemon juice. The Proactiv was the only thing that worked, but it stopped working after a few months and I couldn't manage my acne anymore. I went to a walk in clinic and asked for help managing my acne. I was prescribed an oral contraceptive used for acne, and benzaclin. The oral contraceptive hasn't kicked in yet. I've only been taking it for a week, and it takes about 3 months to start working on the acne, so I know for certain it's the benzaclin clearing my acne. I've been using benzaclin for a week. The first 3 days were horrible, because I used WAY too much of it and my face was burnt. I was so red and sore, it was like having a bad sunburn (or chemical burns on your face. Ouch. lol) I then read reviews on here, which helped a lot! I realized I have to use tiny amounts and take time to spread it over my face carefully and gently rub it in so that it absorbs. Do NOT slather this stuff on like I did. You shouldn't have any wet spots left on your face, or any white residue after applying it, otherwise it will burn your skin. Also, wait a while before applying moisturizer. I read on here that it doesn't work for body acne, but I started applying a little bit to my chest and shoulders, and it's healing the acne there too. So try it on your body acne and see if it works. Avoid using it on your neck. The skin is too sensitive there.
