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

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!

Was prescribed this a couple of years ago. It dried out the spots but unfortunately also dried the skin so I had to stop using it.

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 is the best topical acne medication I have ever used. I tend to get blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples. My skin didn't start breaking out until I turned 20 (now 23). My face is clear unless it is that time of the month, even then I only get a couple blemishes. Although eating right helps a great deal. I have learned that if I eat any sugar or dairy products I break out even with benzaclin, just not as bad. As a side note, this used to cost me $50 with insurance, now it's $10.

Apparently, this is supposed to be a great product, with positive results, however, the side effects for my are unbareable.

I started using Benzaclin when I was 14 and my skin began breaking out. At the time, it helped me immensely. I constantly had compliments on my clear skin. Unfortunately, after 7 years of use, it stopped working for me. Still, it's a good first-line treatment. I recommend trying it out as it is much less difficult for skin to get used to than retinoids.

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.

I got this product for "free" since my medical is paid for because my dad is in the navy. It works great. I have very light acne, but once, in a while, I'll get a big one. I usually pop the pimple, wash my face, then dab the product directly on the zit. The next morning, it's almost gone. I really only use it on individual pimples, and I love it !

I've only been using it for a week so far but I'm glad I decided to spend the 175$ because my skin is practically clear except for two very tiny bumps which will probably be gone in a few days. I use benzaclin along with minocyclin and yaz. I would definitely recommend this product!! My face only is flaky around the chin area since that's where I use it most but I also havnt been using any moisturizer because I wanted to get the full effect of the product. I've read other reviews where people say they experience lots of redness and irritation but the only side effect I experienced was dryness which might be because I have really oily skin which is not s problem for me anymore while on.benzaclin. bottom line works wonderful!!!!!
