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

Great topical, but sadly after 3 months my skin became immune to the clindamycin in it which was the ingredient that made the difference in my skin :( but my skin did not get worse after that luckily. It got rid of most of my "active" acne and there is just dark marks left from them (scars) But of course I get the usual annoying pimples still. Not as bad as it used to be though. Definitely ask your dermatologist to prescribe this to you. :)

I've had mild to moderate acne (no cysts) on my t-zone and the sides of my cheeks every since high school (now 24). When I was a teenager, I never really thought going to the dermatologist was necessary so I tried every OTC product under the sun - Proactiv, Neutrogena, herbal stuff over the internet - you name it, I've probably tried it. Nothing really worked so once I got to college I finally went to see a dermatologist, who prescribed Duac, which worked almost immediately. Within a month my spots had cleared up. For the first time since I could remember, my face was completely, 100% clear!! Every so often I'm fooled into thinking my face is now permanently clear, so I stop using Duac, and the spots always come back. Every time I stop, within a few weeks the spots reappear, so I guess I'm stuck with this forever, which is the only negative. This burns a little bit on the skin, but I've found it goes away within a week or two. BE SURE TO USE MOISTURIZER because your skin will flake if you're not careful! It's quite drying. My routine is the same in the morning and at night: 1) Wash ace with fresh brand soy face cleanser 2) Apply DUAC 3) Dab on SK II Skin Signature Cream This product combination has given me the best skin I ever remember having - clear, bright and even. (I also used a lot of Aveeno face products before I decided to splurge on SK II and I've found it also works very well in combination with the Duac.)

i've had acne for 8 years, tried everything! holistic and all the drugstore brands out there, when all i needed to do was GO TO THE DERM and seek professional advice. she tried a few things (differin, Diane35) before prescribing me benzaclin, teva-spironolacetone and doxycycline. I'll admit it took around a month to really see results but its my second month now and i only maybe get a new pimple once a week, before i was too embarrassed to even let my best friends without makeup I had atleast 15 pimples present on my face at all times! I still have acne scars i have to deal with now but at least now i've stop new ones from forming. Sorry this review is so long but when i was searching on this website before i found what worked for me i always wanted to know the reviewers history to see how it applied to my situation anyway good luck with this one!

I knew it wasn't going to work forever but I am devistated that I became immune to it. It is still worth a try.

As a 15 year old suffering from bad acne since I was 11, I've used a lot of acne products, but Duac was the most effective. It works best when used with some sort of cleanser.

I, like most acne sufferers, had tried most everything. I was prescribed Duac and Retin-A. What I found from those two products was that Retin-A was stronger for use on zits, which I didn't have much of. Duac was a miracle on the smaller pimples and scars. Only use it at night and in the morning, use a moisturizer with sunscreen. A good brand is Eucerin or Advocare Definite Difference.

It is okay. It gets rid of most of my acne, but not all. Duac dries out my skin a lot. Every night I apply it, but in the morning I have to use witch hazel to get rid of the dry skin. I would recommend this for those who have lighter acne.

This is the last benzoyl peroxide-containing product I tried. It was extremely drying to my sensitive skin, though it was effective on the difficult cysts. I continue to use a clindamycin topical which is less drying.

I've been using this only for a week and a half now, and wow my face is clearing up. I can't say I'm acne free yet but I'm positive that I will be. My dermatologist prescribed me this with Doxycline 100mg and a cleanser Cetaphil. I think this is a great combination. I'm supposed to take this for a month and I'm only at 1 week. So hopefully by 1 month I can say I'm acne free. I wish I can put photos up for you guys to see my big improvement!

I've been battling with my acne for almost 5 years now using facial wash only with no result because I thought it's going to dissapear in few years but it kept on getting worse so I go to a GP for my acne for the first time and he gave this product to me and it worked in just 1 week. Now, my skin is considerably better but I hope that I won't get immune to this product because I LOVE IT SO MUCH.....
