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

I would recommend this product; it worked very well for me. Unfortunately, my skin eventually became immune to its effects and now I have to find something else to use. It was expensive, too, because my insurance didn't cover brand-name prescriptions. It works, it just didn't for forever for me.

Benzaclin worked very quickly for me, but that doesn't mean that it will for everyone. My dermo told me to be patient as it can take up to a month to work. So if you are using it and it isn't working dont give up hope. Also be prepared for driness! I love this product and would recommend it.

The first time i used Duac i was using Clearasil Ultra 100% face wash, and after 5 days my face started to peel. So i stopped using it. I recently realized that using Duac with 2% Salicylic Acid really irritates your skin. I started using Duac again about a week ago but this time with Cetephil gentle skin cleanser and Duac still dried my skin, but not as bad. Every morning and night i scrub my face with Clinique dramatically different moisturizer AND MY ACNE IS BASICALLY GONE. use this product.

I've been on the acne.org regimen for 3 years now. It worked very well and cleared my severe acne. However, the regimen did not clear my acne 100%. I still had several pimples on my jaw line and still broke out with cyst around twice a month. I finally went to the dermatologist We decided to give Banzaclin a try. After two weeks, my face was CLEAR. ZERO pimples. I started getting compliments too =D I did not have little pimples, I had pretty bad acne, cyst and everything. ALL GONE =) its been 7 weeks now, still clear. I do get one or two small pimples every now and then, but benzaclin takes care of that and disappear in 2 days. Im hoping for the best =D

This really helped the spots i started to get on my back after starting Yasmin. I also had skin like sandpaper which improved massively with Duac. I did find it way too harsh though on my face, which seems to be more sensitive. My skin became so flaky, red and sore and i had to stop after about 4 weeks as it looked so bad

After trying countless Oral antibiotics and Zineryt with no success, my doctor put me on Duac Cream. When I first used it it burnt my face (stinging, bright red), but after that first time never again. After 8 weeks (and almost giving up) it started working. It really cleared up my acne better than anything I had ever used before After around 2 years though, it has just stopped working for some reason, which is upsetting. The only other downfall is that it did make my face go very red and sensitive to washing/sunlight.

even though the first month will be filled with horrible dry skin and no sign of improvement, your skin eventually adjusts and start clearing completely. I dont remember a specific day it stopped, but the change was clear and my skin was finally beautiful. completely worth that one rough month.

I would 100% say give it a go for about 6 weeks and see if it works for you. Im so happy I tried it! I hope it keeps working and the acne doesn't come back!

I'm in my early 40s and have battled cystic acne all my life. Since having kids 10 years ago, I've ignored all prescription treatments for my acne (basically gave up). Last week, my dr. gave me this "new" gel (I'd never tried it) and I've been using it as prescribed for 5 days now (twice a day, after cleansing). The cysts I had that were healing are much better - scarring is much less than it would have been. The cysts I had that were starting to appear never emerged. I have had one new cyst appear but it's definitely greatly reduced than what it would have been. I have had some flakiness/dryness around my skin and after a couple of days, I noticed my skin looks redder than normal (it's always somewhat red). A small price to pay to avoid getting the cysts to begin with! I'll be sticking with this lotion, although I may start to use a bit less each time. I only rated it a 4 because of the dryness and redness, but I'm hopeful that will go away after using the product for a while.

The benzyol peroxide in Duac really helps clear skin fast. Salicylic acid never works for my skin, but benzyol peroxide does, so it's nice to have a product like this. It is very drying, but using a moisturizer (like Pond's) helps with that. Don't use this stuff around your eyes, it burns. The stuff can be expensive, but it works really well (for me at least).
