duac changed my life
ok I've never posted a review but just had to for this stuff, it has changed my life!!! I put up with hormonal acne for years. I went to my dr and asked for acne medication but as I was going to be ttc again soon he didn't want to give me oral medication but gave me the duac cream to try... It lasts 2 months, and honestly it cleared my acne up within 3-4 weeks... I saw improvements straight away... I still got the odd pimple in that time but my biggest fear was that I would stop the cream and they would all come back. Well I used it for the full 2 months and I'm sooooo happy to say I literally have not had another single pimple since I stopped using it and that was 2 months ago!! every time I feel my soft smooth face I just can't believe it

Amazinggggggg
I love this product!! I have litrally tried EVERYTHING! Starting from Sudecrem, tcp, toothpaste to brand names such as Simple, neutrogena and St Ives.. but nothing seemed to work. However i recently discovered the Duac Jel Cream which i picked up from the Pharmacy. After reading such good reviews and seeing drastic results i started using this product as soon as i purchased it. I stopped using my other products as i thought by using too much on my face could cause irratation and then result in my skin getting even worse. I have been using this product for over 3 month now and i couldn't ask for better results! you can even see a difference over night as the spots that were noticeable and red reduced dramatically in size and was soon gone in just a couple of days. As my skin is very dry i do still moustrise with my Simple Moustriser but other than that these are the only 2 products which i use on my face. I totally recommend this product to anyone who is in desperate need of a spot treatment that actually works in such a small amount of time, it's a life saver, i love ittttttt!

Pros:

REALLY GOOD. Clears skin maybe takes a few weeks to see the results & most importantly works like a magic cream!
DOES NOT DRY SKIN. perfect

Cons:

No bad cons whats so ever.
But I reckon the worst thing is you need to discard it after 2 months.
Being in a bigger tube and a cheaper price would be good.

I'm 16 years of age. I have had acne ever since I was 13. and trust me I know the last 3 years of my life, suffering from acne have been the worst. I HAD SPOTS ALL OVER MY FACE. I was so shy to even clip my fringe up cos of how much acne I had on my forhead. EVERWHERE on my face, Yes I have tried all the face scrubs out there all the home remedies literally popped everything that apparently 'got rid of pimples' onto my face. I followed almost every single tip that was on the net written by professionals! NEVER wearing make up. Caring like Moisturising, toner, masking exfoliating 2-3 times a week. I DID IT ALL. But nothing ever worked no progress whats so ever. Until I met Duac. Duac was reccomended by my doctor when I first started using it, I could feel that my face was getting lighter. less red patches and less spots, but it took awhile but I maintained applying every night. After 2 weeks my face imporved so much! IT WAS A MIRACLE I have never ever seen clear patches on my face and it was the best feeling. Going to school getting so much compliments about how my skin changed. And I had the confidence to clip my fringe up! I've stopped using duac, probably been two months now. I just wanted to see what it is like if I stop using it. My pimples actually came back. BUT. no longer severe I dont have red patches its just little spots that you can't barely see. I guess they will go away after time. BUT if you want your pimples to settle down? GO AHEAD AND TRY IT !!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros:

Cleared up minor breakouts immediately. Maintains clear skin. Easy to apply. Little to no irritation. One of the best topicals available.

Cons:

Minor drying.

I have used many topicals over the years and Duac is the only one that has shown dramatic results. It is expensive, but in my opinion it is well worth the cost. My dermatologist said that many of her patients have had great success with Duac and she did not hesitate to prescribe it.

Pros:

It Works for me.Skin not perfect, but i look normal teen with very slight acne now.
Pimples,bumps, and even Blackheads all visually reduced within first week.
Skin feels smooth and soft, Not like a Brail book.
When used as directed, faithfully,it cleared skin.
Do not notice the bleaching like what other BP products caused on clothes and pillowcase.

Cons:

First week Skin very dry and redness increased (Both Faded Past Week Two).
Refridgeration required.If not followed faithfully as directed (Skipping treatments for weekend ; 0 ) acne flares up close to pre-treatment stage.YIKES.
Cost without insurance is high.

I have been using this for almost three months.I feel great now. My skin was covered with zits, bumps, and huge blackheads before.I still have maybe a zit a week but that is great compared to what it was! My acne was horrible! Had people teasing me about it.Now they ask what i'm using cause they want clear skin also! Do not miss treatment, learned the hard way. Wonderful product for me.The cost with insurance is affordable, without about $170 monthly.

Pros:

Cleared up acne within two weeks. Completley clear.

Cons:

Prolongs PIH
Skin goes bright red, burns and flakes off whilst you adjust to the 5% BP in it
Can bleach hair and clothing if used in the day time or not allowed to dry properly
Tube doesn't last long
A bit costly if not on the NHS
MUST wear sunscreen every single day yo go outside

I'm 20 and my acne was light to mild and caused by hormonal imbalance. Nothing cleared it up completley except this. I don't have to wear makeup anymore! I've been using this for 3 months, 6 nights a week.

Pros:

My 14 year old son was developing bad acne! It was hurting his confidence. He has been on it for 3 months and it has changed his life! It worked within the first 2 weeks! He has never complained about any side effects. I couldn't be happier!

Cons:

Its worth the money to me!

It's life changing and feeling good about yourself is priceless!
