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

Heyy I have had mild to moderate acne for a while now, (I'm 16) and have been on tablets like Enthromycin (worked amazingly but then became immune to it) and Oxytetracycline (which doesn't work on me).. so I decided to try a topical cream, and I have to say I'm really pleased with the results so far. I've been using it for a week, but saw results the morning after I'd used it. I woke up and, to my surprise, didn't (for the first time in months!!) have a cluster of new pimples, and amazingly my skin wasn't oily at all after a whole night.. (usually, my skin is horrible and greasy after I wake up in the morning and I can't wait to wash it, but my skin actually felt nice and firm.) I actually can't wait every morning to wash my face and apply this cream (I use a fingertip size for my whole face) and know that I can put my mineral makeup on and come home WITHOUT looking like I've dipped my face in cooking oil... So far it's great, but we'll see....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fingers c

mixing with cocoa butter makes this stuff amazing...but it takes time be patient

About a year after I had first gotten benzaclin, disaster struck. I got 2 huge nodules bigger than 2 pencil erasers, and countless other mini-nodules over 3 weeks, right around my year mark for using benzaclin. It works for awhile, but after a year or so, your skin adapts to it, and it fails to work. Sigh.

i started suffering with acne 2 years ago i would get the odd pimple on my forehead then it spread to my cheeks so i went to my doctor and he prescribed duac once daily gel for me i started using it for a week but didnt see any changes so went back to my gp and he told me to have patients u need to give it time to work so hear i am 3 months later with a totally clear face it really does wonders belive me.

Lovin it!

I love this stuff. Best acne treatment I've found in 5yrs with acne. I wish I found it sooner. I only use it at night. So if I used it 2 x's daily as reccommended I may not ever get any pimples.

I use Duac every morning and Tazorac every night so its hard to say which one is more responsible for the results or side effects I've been seeing, but my face has gotten much much clearer. Still not perfect, but I have only been using these products for 1 month and I'm told i'll see full results after 4. My face has gotten soo sensitive, even normal face moisturizer burns, as does my face wash. When I put on the Duac my face turns bright red, and the whole thing is cracking and peeling, definitely not fun, but much better than how it was before with all the acne! I'd definitely suggest trying these products, they're easy to use, and the results are pretty satisfying.

im 24 and three years ago, out of no where, i started getting acne and horrendous blackheads on my t-zone. i seriously tried every otc product to get control of my skin, but NOTHING worked. my doctor just prescribed benzaclin a week and a half ago, and i am very pleased. it's definitely drying and i have some peeling, but Olay sensitive skin lotion seems to be keeping it at bay.

I use the Clean and Clear blotting papers on top of the Duac after 4-5 hours but then I still have to wash my face after another hour. I have very oily skin. I think it does reduce cysts though.

Because the use of Retin A makes my skin sooo sensitive, the drying effects of the Benzaclin has become almost intolerable on most days. I hate to have to give it up because I know it works but the burning and flaking has to go. My derm. suggested Duac, which is basically the same thing but said that the drying wouldn't be AS severe. I'm on my way out to go pick it up. I'm crossing my fingers that it will do as good a job as Benzaclin did for me.
