Not for hormonal acne or dry/sensitive skin
I was prescribed Duac by my first dermatologist. He never bothered to ask me any questions or give a serious look to my skin. The percentage was way too high for someone with sensitive skin. I immediately got chemical burns which took months to heal.

it BURNT MY SKIN, WORST EXpERIENCE EVER WITH A TOpIC.
I know many people achieve great results from this gel, but I must warn you about the other side. I had a terrible breakout (6 bumps all together near my mouth) and, desperate, went to my doctor asking for help. She prescribed me this, and it was HORRIBLE, my face has NEVER BEEN AS BAD, it felt like it burned from the inside of my bumps. They went more and more inflamated, I kept on using it for 18 days because some reviews said it was bad at the beginning but then good. My breakout was worse, worse and worse, reddish, VERY INFLAMED, it hurt, and it didn ´t heal at all. I quit it and my breakout kept going for 2 months IN TOTAL FROM THE BEGINNING. NEVER in my life had such a thing happened. This begun at 1st June, now it ´s 10 th august and I still have like 12 red marks. So please, please, if you feel it ´s inflaming you a lot, stop before it ´s too late. Know the product is very good and effective for many people and I dont want to scare anybody, but I want to give this review because I didn ´t read anything like this before taking it and it would have helped me. ps: I ´m never alergic to anything, it was the first time ever something like this happened to me. ps2: sorry if my English is not perfect, I speak Spanish.

duac discontinued
Duac where i'm from Australia is discontinued and many chemists did not stock it no more, however I was eager to try it out thus my dad found a chemist who had one tube left for sale at the price of roughly around $45. The pharmacist said the tube would only last for a month then have to be thrown out because it would be overdue. I used this gel for a month, when i first started to use it on my teenage pimples it did not irritate my skin however around the 5th time i put it on my face and chest to treat pimples it irritated my skin immensely and made it itchy, stingy and red. It made a red patch of skin which looked unappealing and took 3 days to calm down and go back to my original colour. generally this duac gel will never be put on my skin again unless i want to look like ive been severely sunburnt in specific areas.

Didn't make a difference

Cons:

Allergy Reaction

Used this for about a week and couldn't stand it any longer. It gave me a horrible allergic reaction and caused all my eyes and mouth to become very very itchy.

Cons:

I have been using for a month now and have more pimples now then I did when I started. I am an adult and never had acne until I had my son. This cream is drying, and does not work. I have been faithful and followed directions too.

For the cost I do not see it as worthy of my money!! I have never had such bad skin since I paid so much for the prescription. NOthing like getting worse from the medication

Pros:

I haven't experience any.

Cons:

I've used this for eight weeks now and my skin has broken out more than ever. I expected it to get worse before it got better, but so far it hasn't gotten better. My doctor told me to keep using it, but now my face is red and burns.

It doesn't work for everyone.

Pros:

none yet

Cons:

very,very drying. very painful, forhead and eye area very swollen, puffy

Unless you have very severe problems, do a test area first. I am in pain from this product(followed directions) and never had any previous skin sensitivity. Need ice bag to help with the sting. Skin seems smoother though(probably from being stretched with the swelling)! Free sample from dermatologist.
