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

This is a lifesaver for zits that come to a head. If I have a breakout I can count on Duac to shrink the pimples about 50% overnight. The next night takes care of the rest. It doesn't work for more deep-seated pimples or cysts, but amazingly for the rest. If I remember correctly it took me a little while to see results at first (started using about a year ago) but now it helps really fast. It doesn't stop new pimples from appearing, but it takes care of the ones that show up. I stopped using it a couple of months ago because I ran out and my doctor wouldn't give me a new prescription as she claimed that it shouldn't be used continuosly for too long, but my acne became a whole lot more unmanagable with the cream she prescribed instead... Now I've got my hands on it again and it really helps, even though it doesn't cure things.

I rate this product but there is always a stock issue from time to time and it's frustrating that, in my opinion, one of the best topical treatments is off the market for a number of weeks. Although it didn't completely clear my mild spots trouble, it will always stop spots from coming up if I see them early enough which has been a massive help. Been prescribed a different topical treatment now so will see what happens.

I used to love this product. This time last year my skin was 100% clear. I had no blemishes or flaws on my skin and it was all thanks to this miracle in a tube but unfortunately it stopped working after about 1 year of use. Once it stopped working I had the worst break out I had ever experienced. I got about 20 pimples over a couple of days and I would classify it as acne. It was extremely painful acne too. After this I tested out a new tube of duac but there was no difference in my skin and so I left it as my skin had somehow become resistant to the antibiotic Clindamycin. However, a few weeks back I went back to my local GP and asked for a new, fresh tube of it and even though the results haven't been as good as they were the first time I used this product, there is still a noticeable progression in the clearing of my skin. I now suffer less breakouts (I still do get the occasional breakout as I'm a 16 year old teenager with hormones). I would highly recommend this product to try out but don't be reliant on this product alone and buy a decent skincare set. I would also recommend having a trusty moisturisers handy because duac can really dry out your skin!

Ok so my dermatologist recommended that I use this and epiduo every other night ( this night duac, epiduo the next) I have been doing this routine for seven months and my acne hasn't subsided fully yet .. It does help but my skin is not clear ... I do take care if my diet! I use effaclar k in the morning, wash my face twice a day .. I was prescribed antibiotics ( my skin wasnt fuly claer after them just better) but my acne came back ... Edit: So tried using this bp for the regimen and my skin was totally clear for the first in the first week but then BOOM I broke out again :( so now I have been trying STn different I use this every morning and epiduo every night .. We will see how it goes ... I shall post an update here !!

This product helped me clear up most of my acne/breakout problems! It works very well on small pimples that appear, and light breakouts, but not so much on the very bad breakouts, which I had a couple of times. I advise anyone who is interested in this topical medicine to ask their dermatologist before using it.

Duac definitely works to clear up acne better than anything else that I have ever tried. If you are struggling with your acne, go to the derm and ask for this. I have another review on here about this item that I wrote three weeks into use. Now, months later, I can change my opinion a little and say that Duac definitely works. At least for me it did.

If you have the patience to stick through it during the dry, peeling phase, and patience to wait for it to work, its VERY worth it. It has cleared up almost all of my acne, when nothing else has worked and I've tried many other products. I'd give it a 5 star, but the dryness was horrible.

I've started using this product 2 months ago- I've had very severe acne about the age of 10- I tried everything- Proactive, AcneFree, some pills- ect, so out of all of those products, this works pretty well (: It gets very drying and itchy, but you can see results- dries up my zits overnight sometimes which makes me feel better

it works great just be sure to moisturize and protect with sun screen.

Get it, try it, then love it!
