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

It worked greatt!

It's something one should use to initially get rid of their acne, and then maintain their acne free face with a different product, or if you are looking for a quick fix just before a special event. A small jar (1 oz) costs about $120, but some insurance plans have a low co-pay. I had to pay $30.

I meant to say make sure you wait 30 minutes after washing your face* In the review below

It's very much effective. I use it in the morning. I'm a college student so I have classes in the morning. So I apply it during long breaks or in the afternoon when i no longer have classes. It is most effective when paired up with Differin or Benzac. But using water based benzac gave me better results. i've been using this combination prescribed by my dermatologist for over a month, and my skin has never been better. i have a bit of scars left, but they're slowly lighting up. :) Duac and Benzac are better than ProActiv. I swear!

Okay so I literally never leave reviews for anything but this duac gel has seriously changed my life. In 2014 I moved cities and this caused me emotional stress to which my face completly broke out and for two years never managed to recover. I would use products such as bio oil for scarring and sucocrem to heal the after math of squeezing a spot. These worked at healing the face after a break out but did absolutley nothing to prevent further breakouts. My diet has been the same for as long as I can remember even before I had perfectly clear skin. About two months ago I had a big emotional break down as my skin was so so bad that I literally couldnt remember the last time I went make up free. The spots I used to get were under the skin ones on my chin, around my mouth and on my forehead. I eventually booked a doctors appointment and got diagnosed with mild acne to which I was then prescribed duac gel, I have used this now for around two months and my skin is almost completely clear, all thats left to tackle is the scarring. The side effects are very minimal such as flaking of the skin but exfoliating and using a good moisturiser helps with this. I also feel the need to mention how amazing the OLAY 7 in one moistureiser is in closing your pores so tackle oily skin. All in all I am over the moon with the product and will be back to the doctors soon to get some more. Also im in Scotland, UK so am lucky enough to get this free on the NHS. Sorry I dont know where to buy this gel elsewhere. Good luck guys :)

Two days after I began using Duac, I noticed a big difference. I wasn't getting any new spots, and the ones I had were slowly starting to fade away, leaving my skin smoother than it had been in months! On the third day, I started using it during the day and applying moisturiser before and sometimes after I put it on. This significantly increased the burning sensation and got so bad, it caused burns across my face! It wasn't until I went back over my routine that I realised it was combining badly with whatever was in the moisturiser (i used three different ones -- all stung!). Same thing happened with my foundation. I noticed that other people were reporting excessive burning and had to stop using it. I decided to stop moisturising during the night and only during the day when I had washed the duac off, and my skin took to the duac fine again - and cleared up within two weeks! I would advise people to be cautious about whatever products they combine with duac -- because this accelerates the burning and makes it seem unbearable. They stop using it because they think it's too sore, but I do think it's down to the makeup/creams you use mores than the product, which only mildly tingles. At least that was the case for me!

ok im updating my previous review after 45 days , my face is clear after huge attacks of all acne types .......its a miracle for now i dont know about later ......

One of the first prescription products that I tried that, in just a short time, truly cleared up my skin. I can overlook the occasional dryness because of the very positive results. I take hormonal birth control in addition to the Benzaclin, but doubt that they're helping each other out as I had been consistently taking the same kind of birth control for about two years prior to starting the Benzaclin, during which I had cycles of moderate acne. Highly recommended.

This is by far the best acne medication I have ever used. I broke out really badly last year to the point where my skin didn't even feel real anymore. I searched on the internet and tried all sorts of different products and methods of clearing up my acne but nothing worked like Benzaclin. When I first started using it, my face swelled up quite a bit. After about a week, I noticed a significant improvement in acne, although it was still really bad. I used it consistently for a few months and my acne COMPLETELY cleared up. The only thing left was red marks which cleared up after another month or two with continued use of Benzaclin. My face was completely clear for months. I broke out again recently (might be from too much sun exposure during summer with little/no protection) and for some reason I decided to try random treatments that ended up not working. Again I got Benzaclin from my doctor and it's been a week now and it's almost completely cleared up. Red marks are also fading very quickly. BENZACLIN IS MY SAVIOR!!

Using a moisturizer right after i cleanse my face helps my skin from drying out after i use b-clin, totally makes me ance go away like, really fast!
