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

I wanted to reply to one of the messages someone posted. They asked if anyone knew of a gentle cleanser they could use before applying medication. I definitely suggest trying Purpose Bar Soap before applying duac, or any other medication to the face. It can be drying, and will leave a tight feeling right after you wash your face. After washing my face in the morning with Purpose soap, I apply duac, and then moisturizer (which is a MUST!) At night I do the same thing (the bar soap really takes off make-up effectively, leaving you with nothing but sweaky clean skin)Then I put on a different medication and I usually don't follow with moisturizer at night. Hope this helps! I really believe that Purpose bar soap is the best gentle cleanser you will find!

Is the best solution for acne that I have found yet. Just make sure you use a good moisturizer and use sparingly.

I used this product for a few months & saw no difference to my skin at all. It didn't prevent any new breakouts - just made my skin ridiculously dry & didn't help the spots I already had. I do, however, know a few people that it has worked for!

Its good but not as good as quinoderm!...Apply once a day! I was using it but i prefer quinoderm faster results and better cause it comes in a gel dont know if thats why it takes long to be absorbed by skin :S i dont know this stuff but i know quinoderm is better! Wow and look at the price quinoderms like a fiver!

get it and give it a go. no harm in trying.

I have tried almost every over the counter spot-fighting cleanser/exfoliator/moisturizer/gel there is, and ditto with medication - I have tried all the acne-treating antibiotics available in the Uk (I'm still on Lymecycline, but only out of habit), as well as topical creams (which just made my skin even more oily), and nothing had any effect... my skin was actually getting worse over time, with more frequent and aggressive cystic spots appearing, particularly on my cheeks - which for a long time had been the only clear bit of my face... (and I'm 21, so my skin really had no excuse!) So I'd pretty much given up finding something that would actually work, but thought I would give Duac a shot while I waited for my referral to be put on Roaccutane, since I basically had nothing to lose. The first couple of days using Duac gave pretty much the result I was expecting - dryness, oiliness and slight irritation in one horrible combination, with no effect on my acne. But after about a week of daily use, things changed! My cystic spots began shrinking, I got less blackheads, and only the teeniest, try-hard whiteheads still came through occasionally... My skin was pretty much clear, and indeed almost glowing! I can see and feel Duac changing the way my skin behaves, and definitely in a good way! I have had a couple of minor blemishes come through in the hormonal week before my period, but nothing compared to what it used to be, and with continued use I can see it having a real and sustained difference. I can finally say good bye to the acne-ridden menace that was my skin for so many years! I'm still going to go on Reaccutane, because I want permanently clear skin without having to rely on a daily cream, but I'm now slightly concerned that my dermatologist won't see the need because my skin is so improved! Note: I was dubious about how much you were meant to use (a 2cm line of it each time), but it sinks into the skin really well and doesn't feel at a

I have had acne since my freshman year in high school (i am now in my second year of college) and it has been mostly moderate. i have tried all the over the counter products and finally gave up on them a few months ago and decided to see a dermatologist for the first time. I was prescribed Benzaclin and it has been the best acne product I've ever used. i thought that lotions and creams would never work but this stuff really has worked for me, and i had really stubborn deep pimples. i started seeing results after about two to three weeks, i still got a couple pimples but i wasn't breaking out like i used too. Now i have been using it for two months and my skin is almost completely clear, i just have a few acne scars but i have no active pimples! I have read sooooooo many reviews of products on this site and read so many success stories, and i promised myself if i ever found a product that works i would write a review on it. if you are like me and feel that acne makes you self conscious and all those horrible emotions that come with acne i hope you go to a dermatologist and give this stuff a try cause it really does work.

Your face will eventually get used to it :( I have been using this for a little over a year, and I have to say, I do not have the same results now as I did in the first 6 months.

i have moderate severe acne. I've used so many products in the past few years. This product works miracles for me and i am just using this for over a week now. My skin feels actually very smooth now. Everybody noticed the difference.

Great product that's well worth the price. Wash your face before using to get best results.
