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

i have been using this for almost a year now, I was hesitant but i decided to give it a shot (this was and is the only product i have used on my face besides soap)i to used it on my whole face, and this was good except that the places where i usually don't get pimples (forehead and nose, was clear) i got really tiny red bumps on, like mini-pimples. i kind of freaked out a bit but thought that since it worked on the rest of my face my nose and forehead were just getting used to it. so i just kept using it on my whole face including nose and forehead but i saw that no this is not the case because i think the pimples were getting worse(more mini-pimples) so i stopped using it on my nose anf forehead but use it everywhere else on my face and it took a while for the mini-pimples to go away it reduced day after day but it took about a month for it to really clear up. now i use it regularly (most of the time) and after a few months (3-4) i saw that my old scars were going to (yay!)

very good for moderate acne

ok basikly, i hav tried EVRYTHING.. i have acne scars.. u name it.. and iv bin using duac religiously.. not really working.. it seems 2 b making the spots worse and even redder.. not 2 mention i experienced the diarohhea side effects!!

Benzaclin is good, but I think that it may take a very long time for the acne to be gone. I have used it now for about two exact months, and i see small differences. All in all, it seems to make the acne easier to handel, but not clear it up completley. I would recomend it to others, because it did help, and I have had no bad reactions to it.

I give it 4 stars instead of 5, even though it worked for me. A word on my acne, it is the cystic kind, painful, hard bumps and constantly inflamed. There were always 6-12 of them on my face. I've had acne for 8 years and nothing seemed to work...I tried prescription differin, azelic (sp?), herbs, apple cider vinegar, tea tree oil, oatmeal masks, murad and none of them really worked for me even with consistent use. It took about 6 weeks for benzaclin to stop new breakouts and heal most of the current cysts. However, I had to stop using benzaclin because it was starting to give me signs of colitus (read the labels, it is actually a side effect). So on a whim, I tried a friend's advice to use proactive. I was very surprised that it took away the rest of my acne and I've been acne free for the last five months (except for bursts when I'm under a lot stress). I give benzaclin credit for making my acne manageable so that proactive could do the rest, so I'm giving it a 4 stars.

I guess it's better than nothing. If used in conjunction with an oral antibiotic it might work better.

I used this product as recomended by my doctor and I got these red irriatated scabby patches! The acne started to go away but this is worse than the acne was!

I havent used it for long, but I notice results only after a few days, I'm on ammoxicillin(twice a day), and differn also, applying differn at night and applying benzaclin every other day, works well so far

I would recommend this product, it has cleared up my skin pretty good even though it took awhile, but now i have red scaring on my face. Not caused by the benza clin though. Now my problem is finding something to get rid of scars while still using benzaclin to clear pimples away.

i put it on a little while ago and the acne was dried up in hours. my face is really dry though. i guess i'll just put some lotion on it.
