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

i have been using duac for a while after my doctor recomended and prescribed this to me, he told me how to use it and the packet came with instructions and a mini diary that you can use to record how bad your acne is and the date and you can tick it when you have used it, so i looked forward to doing that every night! (: i totally recomend this im only 12 and this didnt hurt my skin so it shouldnt hurt yours. hope it works for you i still have a few pimples but they will go away soon !(; you will breakout at first because duac removes pimples deep in the skin so u ont breakout after you have used this! wish me further luck and i hope rest of my pimples go away before i go back to school in 1 week and 2 days!! good luck alls!!

I was on adapalene and clindamycin phosphate gel for 6 months and saw no results, my face was always red and covered with acne. I couldn't shave and if i did it would yield terrible results. I switched to this stuff and the first few days my acne started to clear up! I use a light salicylic acid cleanser in the morning and night, a light salicylic acid moisturizer in the morning, and benzaclin at night. After about one month of this routine my acne and red spots started to clear up! My stubborn acne that I have been struggling with for years is gone. I have tried almost all prescriptions and over the counter stuff, the only stuff that seems to work is BP and Clindamycin combo therapy If you have been struggling with acne, this is the final topical product one needs. It works well for ALL acne types!

Try it for your stubborn acne that doesn't respond to the others. Use a moisturizer with it or your skin will dry/tighten and crack. This does get better after a couple weeks. My skin had a sandpaper texture, but since it was working on the zits, I stuck with it and love the stuff. I hope it keeps working...crossing fingers!

I've been using Duac for about a week. My acne isn't horrible, but lately I've had a lot of spots around my chin and cheeks. It's very frustrating as I'm 25 and I haven't had skin like this for about a decade! Over the past few months I've wasted so much money on the products you can buy at the pharmacy and finally gave up and went to my GP. I paid the £3 NHS Scotland prescription charge and it has worked absolute wonders so far. My skin was clearer within 2 days of using this product and a week later, my skin only has the marks where my spots were. It did dry out my skin a bit, but nothing a good moisturiser won't fix. It warns that it can bleach fabrics and your hair, which is something to be careful of. I used old pillowcases but somehow managed to get some on my purple duvet cover. It's not noticeable though and I would still definitely recommend it.

this stuff worked really good and started clearing my face in a week or two. I would get small zits all over and they have completely gone away and no new zits have come up and noo reddness or dryness. i really love it

I'm 32 and never had a problem with acne until the past year or so. When I started having break outs I was clueless about what to do. I tried Neutragena and I swear the acne actually started getting worse! The area between my eyebrows exploded in painful swollen red bumps, the area around my mouth developed numerous white heads. I was devastated and ashamed. I didn't want to go to work, didn't want to show my face anywhere! Last week I ordered Proactiv and used the mask as a spot treatment every night. I'd read great reviews on how it dried out pimples fast. I was so disappointed. Not only did it not help, but the bumps between my eyebrows were still growing in number. The Proactiv inflamed them, made them red and puffy. I broke down and went to an NP yesterday. I told her how upset I was and that I just didn't know what to do. I've never dealt with this before and my self esteem is at an all time low. She prescribed Benzaclin and Doxycycline and told me to give it a few weeks before I started seeing results. I used the Benzaclin last night and again this morning and already the bumps are disappeairng! They are no longer swollen and inflamed, a few of them aren't even red anymore. This is after only two applications. So to anyone suffering out there, give this a try. It was super expensive ($175), but I found a coupon online on the Benzaclin website and saved $65, my insurance paid $50, so I ended up spending $60...BUT it was totally worth it!

I had terrible acne when I first went to derm. 4 years ago and I got prescribed this and it has been a godsend.However I cant stress enough how little you should use for the first 3 months.Originally I went crazy with it trying to rid my face of pimples and I thought the redness wouldnt bother me since "hey im acne free!" But the redness I experienced became a living hell for the 3-6 months it takes for your skinn to get "used" to this powerful cream.So I would advise you with my detailed experience to use LESS THAN A PEA SIZED AMOUNT for he first 2 months at least.I know we want to relieve ourselves from the physical and emotional pain of acne but dont subject yourself to an extra needless emotional pain like I did.This is very strong and will work wonderfully but please use a very little amount until you get adjusted.

I love, love this product. I was using retin-a before this product and that destroyed my face and caused my whole face to break out in large cystic like acne. I never had bad skin but occasional pimples here and there so I thought retin-a will perform miracle to smoothen my face from acne when I was a teen. But the initial break-out of the product was just horrible. I'm in my med 20's and I felt like I was going back to my teen years. In desperation I went to my doctor and asked him about benzaclin since I work in the pharmacy I read into a lot of things. I know with the combination of antibiotc (clindamycin) and benzoyl peroxide I was hoping it helped. Whithin the first day the cystic acne was minimized. I was already loving this product. I used it for 3 days and the improvement was drastic. Since I was using retin-a for 3 months already my skin was already used to the whole drying and peeling part so this product didn't really make me peel that much, just the first day. I suggest you the buy a product called ALBA aloe and green tea moisturizer. Its expensive around $20 but it will last you a long time and its so wonderful. It will definitely hydrate your skin and its good under make-up. Which I only use Bare Minerals. So it has been a week and a half and I finally can look at people in the eyes. I use my retin-a at night and in the morning I use Benzaclin in the morning. Both seems to do wonders together but Benzaclin has saved my face from the terrible initial break-out from retin a. I recommend this product to anybody who suffers from acne.

Fantastic! I can go out in public without wanting to hide my horrid skin! It was fast acting! Just remember that sunscreen! :D

Fantastic product, the only thing that works for me. Unfortunately there has been a manufacturing problem with this product for some time & I have been unable to procure it recently because all the chemists I have contacted are out of stock. I did try a Benzoyl Peroxide Gel & a Clindamycin ointment instead but it was not effective, don't understand why. Is anyone having the same problem in purchasing it, or perhaps know somewhere still selling it or a good alternative? Kind regards
