Onexton (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) for Acne "I have struggled with moderate to severe acne since high school (now 24) and have tried just about every product on the market including two rounds of accutane. Last week, I saw my Derm and she put me on Onexton, as well as Retin-A. After less than a week of being on this combination my skin looks better than it has in months and I'm certain it is primarily due to Onexton. Fair warning- the first few days of this medication are very, very rough. I looked like a burn victim and my entire face was peeling, red and burning. However, by about day 4 or 5 it had appeared as though I had gotten a chemical peel and my skin was glowing! Im so, so happy with this medication and have been recommending it to everyone I know."

Onexton (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) for Acne "Onexton is absolutely amazing! Have been using now for about 3-4 months. I apply it every night after removing my make up and washing my face thoroughly with CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser. I was worried about facial skin peeling/redness that I experienced with other prescription topical medications that I had tried in the past for acne (Ex. tretinoin, benzaclin, etc.) I have not had any redness or peeling since starting Onexton. My face is pretty much clear (exceptionally noticeable difference compared to 4 months ago). I also take Spironolactone 100mg daily for acne which was started at the same time as the Onexton. For the first time in YEARS, my face is mostly clear without any redness or peeling. $0 copay with savings card!"

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) for Acne "I used Duac for 3 nights and although my acne has greatly reduced I have huge red patches that feel like burns on my face. I only applied it onto the spots but the soreness and redness has spread out. My skin is too sensitive to even dry my face with a towel. I have been advised to moisturise as much as possible which I have been for the last 3 days but have seen little improvement - fingers crossed!"

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) for Acne "Honestly, when I set out to try this - I wasn't too sure what to expect. My skin was awful, and the horrid acne I had was so painful and built up that I couldn't properly cover it with makeup any more. I went on a combination of Duac gel and an antibiotic two months ago. Today, I only have one spot. I began to notice a difference to my skin the day after I first applied it. My skin had dried out immensely and the spots seemed to be going down. I was so happy. For the first three or so weeks of using Duac, my skin was a rollercoaster. At first my face was getting so dry that by the morning I was putting on a hefty layer of e45 cream under my makeup. Now, I don't use any. My skin no longer needs it. It's changed the oiliness of my skin"

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) for Acne "After suffering for almost 20 years with severe acne and cystic acne. I have been on Duac for only 3 weeks and have seen the biggest change than with any other treatment I've tried. Almost all acne has gone, only cystic acne that will take longer due to being so far under the skin. It's amazing, I've not felt my skin this smooth since I was 9 years old. No new acne breakouts since being on this either. Which is amazing because I'd normally have one or two new ones every day.. LOVE this stuff"

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) for Acne "Best thing I have ever used! At first didn't thing it was working but gave it 2/3months and all my acne was gone! I would wash my face at night and cream my face a lot! And leave it to dry at night then wash it off in the morning! It worked for me! I used to have really bad spots!! Now I just have a few red marks but makeup can cover that! :) Just try it for a few months and don't stop using it as the acne does come back when stop using it .. Many thanks x"

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) for Acne "My oldest son had horrible acne in high school. He is blonde and fair-skinned and had horrible red bumps all over his face. After 3-4 years of trying everything over the counter and 2-3 trips to the dermatologist , the pediatrician finally gave my youngest son a sample of duac and my older son used it and it worked wonders. His face finally cleared up. His skin is very sensitive and I don't remember a lot of drying as others have mentioned. But, he put it just on the pimples and not all over his face, though he had so much acne it pretty much was all over his face and his back. I wish I had found this sooner! One over counter "University Medical Acne med for rosacea" actually worked but they stopped making it soon after we discovered."

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) for Acne "The best stuff I've ever used! I've struggled with acne for a while now and ever since I started using the cream it has helped so much I do my usual face wash in the evening then put the cream on about 10 minutes after. I had such a bad spot in the day of my prom that I put a bit of cream on in the morning and by 5pm when getting my make up done it had gone"

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) for Acne "I was prescribed this by my doctor for some minor cystic acne around my chin (I'm in my mid-20s) I used it as instructed knowing that due to the benzyl peroxide it would irritate and dry the skin initially but after five days I just had to stop. My skin became raw, red, flaky, excoriated, discoloured and painfully dry. It made my skin WORSE, instead of a few ugly spots my I now had angry, red, peeling patches on my face and for nearly a week I had to slather on liberal amounts of moisturiser and bio-oil just to keep the itchiness, irritation and pain of my dry cracked skin down to tolerable levels. Five days of using Duac and it took my skin over a week to get to the point where I don't have to layer on moisturiser to get through the day (still not even back to where it was pre-duac) and the worst part was, didn't even help with the spots! They're still there. Completely useless, made my skin so much worse. 100% would not recommend."

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) for Acne "My doctor prescribed me this gel for my mild to many spots on my face and back. The first day I applied it the next morning my face was almost clear of blackheads and I had noticed an improvement however I decided to do what may have been a really foolish thing. I applied it on all of my cheeks and basically most of my face, the parts which rarely had spots on. I woke up the next day to a stinging bright red face. My skin was so so dry. It was patchy orange and red, it was half peeling and it looked like I was wearing patchy foundation. "

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) for Acne "I've been on this for 3 weeks now and unfortunately have seen no change in my skin whatsoever except that the acne seems to be getting worse. I have had no redness or dryness at all from using it––just more acne. I am 23 and had clear skin my whole life until I was 22, when I started to get hormonal cystic acne. Duac doesn't seem to be effective against this kind of acne."

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) for Acne "Prescribed by the doctor as after coming off the pill I broke out in spots. First time I used it I had a severe reaction. I felt a burning & tight sensation on my face, looked in the mirror & it looked like I had been burnt. I took an antihistamine straight away. Nothing changed after 2 hours so attended the hospital who advised me that I had received the worst allergic reaction they had ever seen. "

Acanya (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) for Acne "LOVE this. Nothing has ever worked on my face. I have been using it for 5 days (mornings only) and people have already commented that my skin looks so good. I have no burning, no redness, no flaking, etc. (and I have extremely sensitive skin). I am so excited. I put a very thin layer on in the morning and then apply my make-up over top. It does not leave a film/residue on my skin and my make up goes on flawlessly. Pro's: WORKS GREAT! Cons: Prescription only - Small Jar "

Benzaclin (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) for Acne "It has been the best! I only had a little acne here and there but this stuff gets rid of it completely! My advice would to only use a little dot for every part of your face . Because when I first got this product I used way to much for the first month and it dried me out like crazy until I realized I was using way too much"

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) for Acne "I started using Duac gel about a week ago, on the good side I have actually seen some improvements on my forehead however I had to stop using it as it has really badly irritated my skin. It’s red, blotchy, dry, flaky, itchy, burning and rough. at first this started on my chin but has now spread all over my face and is extremely uncomfortable."

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) for Acne "I am currently using this and i had full force inch to inch acne on my face and now they have reduced and faded and I love it! I felt bad about my skin for two years and I know by next month after my treatment I will finally leave my house with confidence. Even going to the doctor sat in the waiting room before getting prescribed this I was self conscious but now I feel that DUAC has not only helped my skin, but my life too."

Benzaclin (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) for Acne "Used it a few times during bad breakouts. Nothing else has ever made my acne disappear so fast, even cystic acne is gone within a few days. I’ve used Benzaclin a few times this week and it literally destroys pimples, within a few minutes I notice white heads start to dry up and bumps evening out. This stuff is almost magic"

Benzaclin (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) for Acne "My type of acne was small bumbs all over my forehead and not even kidding benzaclin stated working overnight after my first use! Completely dried up my acne and my skins been perfect since I have used it"

Benzaclin (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) for Acne "Due to a switch to a generic brand birth control by the pharmacist, my acne flared like a raging fire. I am almost 30, and it was painful and embarrassing. I have tried numerous topicals when I was younger, but this one is by far the best! I apply it to my face only at night. As recommended by my doctor, I mix my regular face cream with it to provide extra moisture! As a result, I have not had any of the mentioned face peeling/drying issues. I also spot treat my acne scars with Vitamin E cream that makes them fade significantly quicker."

Benzaclin (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) for Acne "I had mild acne until I went on Benzaclin. Usually 4-5 pimples at any time. After using Benzaclin for a week, I can say my acne has completely cleared up! I apply a thin layer all over my face. It is very tempting to apply more to troublesome areas but additional product will only cause dryness. I still have red marks from where the pimples were but am sure that within a month or so they too will be gone!"

Benzaclin (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) for Acne "I had moderate acne and frequently got cystic acne due to my extremely oily skin. The cystic acne was so deep and painful that I asked my doctor about what to do and she perscribed me this. I swear it works miracles! My acne was virtually gone after 2 weeks, and my ultra oily skin felt normal and smooth! Even though the box says it only helps acne vulgaris, benzaclin really works on cystic acne as well."

Benzaclin (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) for Acne "When I used Benzaclin, my skin was amazingly clear, beautiful and oil free. I have oily (shiney) skin. I also had massive acne on my cheeks, very painful. But after I started using Benzaclin the pain went away, along with my acne and my oily skin. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone (who of course has acne/oily skin)."

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) for Acne "I had lots of comedones and just plain old acne. The creams my doctor prescribed were no longer working and I went to the dermatologist. He prescribed Duac in the morning and Retin-A 0.1% at night. He told me Duac kills current breakouts and prevents them. Within three days, my acne was already drying up and going away. My face was pretty dry and burned for the first week so it took a while to get used to the medicine. It's been about two months now and my skin is pimple free and now my acne scars/redness is still fading. I'm very happy with this medicine although it is quite pricey ($70 with insurance for me). Dermatologist also recommended the VaniCream gentle cleansing bar to wash my face with and it's great and gentle!"

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) for Acne "Im not one to review anything online but Duac has changed my skin completely, I had been suffering from acne since my early teens and now aged 24 was fed up and spoke to my Dr who suggested this product. my only regret is I hadn't gone earlier. My skin is now clear of acne and I feel much more confident even leaving the house without makeup something I wouldn't do previously. It does easily bleach sheets, pillows and towels though so be careful."

Benzaclin (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) for Acne "Everyday I'm embarrassed because I have severe body acne. I get acne on my arms, shoulders and back - its not attractive on a female. I have struggled with this problem since I was a child. I've spent lots of money on products that would work temporarily and then reverse effect and make my breakouts worse. I have been using this cream for almost 3 weeks, and already everything is clearing up fast. I am extremely happy with this product that i would recommend it to ANYONE!!!!! I can finally have higher self esteem and not be the mom in a t-shirt going swimming. LOVE IT!!!!! 10's all the way across the board"
