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

I had pretty huge pustules/cysts before I started using this combined with Oral Antibiotic and first it acutally made it worse and more oily but after a couple of weeks the bumps and pustules/cysts started to shrink and overall it made a really good job pre-accutane. I strongly recommend this stuff. As for now I use this as a spot treatment and it works great! I wash my face pat it dry and after 5minutes I dab Duac into my face and it dries quickly.

I have been using duac for around 3 weeks now and within the first week my skin had basically cleared up!! My skin before this was marked, cystic and terrible. However once into the second week of duac my skin started to break out again! I don't know if this was hormonal or a normal thing with duac, to work and then stop for a bit? I am wondering if anyone has experienced this and whether I should continue to use it? I'm hoping this is just a stage and it will work again soon! Thanks! Beth

I have been using benzaclin for about a year now and I have seen tremendous results. I have found that this product works extremely fast and help reduce my acne within a matter of 2 weeks for it to work. I noticed that it does not help deep bumps that I have but helps more so the surface bumps. I had white heads all over my nose and forehead and it was extremely embarrassing and ruined my confidence alot. I would avoid looking people in the eye it was so bad. I use benzaclin paired differin 0.3% and they both work together like a charm. The only thing that is bad about this product is that it can be drying if I use it twice a day as prescribed. I just use and oil free oil reducer moisturizer and it seems to be working fine. Therefore I think this product would be good for anyone with mild-moderate acne.

My brother who has worse acne than me was prescribed this and his acne has cleared up significantly after only using it for a few days. So I tried it out. The medication is a combo of an antibiotic to kill off the bacteria inside pimples (the white stuff) and also another medication that is capable of penetrating pimples due to it's unique chemical compound. This is the key to why benzaclin is so effective compared to other drugs. Since it's two drugs in one, it makes it easier to use and much more likely to be effective as well. Just after day 1 my hyperpigmentation marks were less red and overall appearance was slightly better. But that's just me. Day two, still improving. Been only a few days I honestly feel everything flushing out and I've been having little to no dryness. My oil slick of a face is a normal face. It's absolutely amazing how simple the pharmacology is behind it but how it hasn't been thought of sooner.

My doc told me to just apply to specific spots. I tried it for a few weeks, and was disappointed. Then I decided I might as well just use up the container, and started applying it to the whole effected area. Then it started working like magic. It's best at preventing breakouts, which I think is part of why it took a while for me to notice its effects. It's worked great, and I've been using it consistently for several years. Acne went from moderate/ moderately severe to light/ very light.

I never write reviews from someone who had perfect skin in her 20s and then got adult acne, I understand how depressing this can be. Give it 8 weeks and you will see a HUGE difference bare through the redness and dryness and it will change your skin for the better.

I found DUAC was OK when applied generously once a day before bed. I would say it is probably best for those with mild to moderate acne of the face area, as it doesn't seem effective when used over a wider area (i.e whole back or chest). Probably no better than 10% Benzoyl peroxide cream but significantly less drying and irritating. Worth a go but don't expect miracles - I would say it is more likely to keep things "under control" than actually provide a cure.

THIS PRODUCT WORKS

I use Duac as a spot treatment on new pimples that are forming. Typically it works and havent had any deep cysts forming in recent months. I use this in the morning and Epiduo at night. I can't use it all over my face as it does burn very much
