Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) "This stuff is a miracle! I haven't really got bad acne but am always getting blemishes. The doctor prescribed me with duac and after the first few days my spots had cleared up already. No redness or irritation whatsoever. I would highly reccomend giving duac a go and also to use moisturiser with duac as it dries your skin."

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) "Duac has cleaned all teen-pimples on face but it doesn't help with cystic-acne issues. I still have painful and big acne on nose, and this doesn't help! From what I've seen, Accutane is what I will end on :("

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) "I have been using for about 2 weeks now. It works a little, but it takes a long time. But I have noticed my acne scars going away. But, it makes my face red, and it burns really bad! So much that most of the time, I'll go and wash it off with freezing cold water."

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) "Hi everyone , quick question how do you store duac when you get home , fridge or cupboard !!! . Just started course and info leaflet has two storage instructions . Okay I see it is in the fridge for the pharmacist or for patients if they haven't opened it, but once you open it it is just keep in a cool dry place, but once open the expiry is 2 months."

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) "I've been suffering from acne for about 3 years now. I've tried so many products on my face to get rid of it but nothing seemed to work. Last month I went to my doctor & he gave me a prescription for Duac and told me to apply it every night, after washing my face with soap. It's been a few weeks now & I have really been seeing a huge improvement on my face. Although it's working, I have been getting a few side effects, such as flakiness and ichy cheeks. But I am still happy about the results I've got so far."

Benzaclin (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) "I'm 18. I've been using this since I was 11. This really helps me, hands down the best product. I always find myself running back to this product! I'm not even kidding right now. I broke out so much and I finally bought it and it works wonders. I tried so many products. You name it, I used it. This cleared me up and everyone was complimenting on how clear my skin was. I was once again confident! Then after a while when I was 17, I started breaking out again but this time it was hormonal. They were painful acne, it hurt to move my face and everything but thanks to Benzaclin it changed everything. Yes, it gets real dry and itchy but it's worth it because in the end you get beautiful skin."

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) "I used Duac on my forehead I had acne all over my face but specifically used duac on my forehead where I had lots of small spots. After using it for 3 months my forehead was so clear I was shocked. Duac made my face a bit dry but it didn’t bother me. I realised that duac had an expiry of 3 months. I didn’t want to stop using as I was so dependent on the gel. it literally cleared my forehead spots up. I was so dependent I used it after the expiry date ( I don’t suggest) but anyways I knew I had to stop so I did and my forehead was ok. A week later my forehead had small spots again!! It’s so annoying because I was so patient with Duac and now it feels like a waste of time but in a sense it wasn’t because it genuinely made my forehead clear. My GP prescribed me a new fresh duac gel and she said I can use it consistently so when it runs out she’ll order me more. Let’s see what happens hopefully it clears my forehead again and I wasn’t just lucky the first time"

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) "In my 40s have always had a breakout now and then particularly along jaw line and upper back, nothing major - a few long lasting under the skin bumps. Been using Duac 3% for 3 weeks. Amazed how clear my skin is but wow after 9 days of using cream, my skin flared up, red, itchy, burning sensation. I may have been applying too much cream! Stopped using to allow my skin to settle. After 4 days restarted with a very thinly applied layer, a tiny amount. My skin still itches after application but I am determined to ride it through to see the results. Applied it along my jaw line at night and woke up with severe itchiness - I am not sure if I am allergic or if this is normal until the skin gets used to it so I will persevere as aesthetically I am happy but the after effects normally come on during the night, which means lack of sleep not so great. Is it normal to itch so badly with this cream?"

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) "I was prescribed to use duac gel just 2 days ago of this post and I am already seeing changes to my skin , my skin is toned and my white pimples are vanishing , she also said to apply the gel in the night and wash it in the morning and apply sunblock to keep my skin moisturized and protected from pollutants!"

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) "Was prescribed this just a week ago and was told to use it twice a day after washing my face for my acne. I did this but it has left my face all dry, itchy, patchy and some part of my face looks like its been burned. I've stopped using it now and I won't be ever using this again, it slightly worked on calming down my acne spots but this cream has made my face look a thousand times worse."

Benzaclin (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) "This is AMAZING. I was prescribed Benzaclin after my doxycycline stopped working. The first night I applied this, I had multiple zits on my chin including a large cyst-like pimple. Normally my cyst pimples can take several weeks to clear up. The next morning that I woke up, the redness and size of all of my zits were visibly smaller, including the cyst. 3 days later, although a little dry, my chin is almost cleared up. I just add a little moisturizer after the medicine dries and I apply makeup and my confidence is back. I have not experienced any burning or stinging like I have read in others' experiences. I ONLY apply to the affected area, not the whole face. I HIGHLY recommend this product."

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) "I have used duac for 2 months. I have previously used epiduo and experienced bad burning but that was not the case for duac! The drug had minimal effect for the first month but it is now noticeably clearing my acne. Side effects were very minimal and I am now less depressed and have less pimples. I do still have a few pimples. However I am very pleased with results so far."

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) "I have had acne around chin and jaw area for a few years. Really started to get me down. Tried Duac and just a few days in I saw the the redness was reduced. I've now been using for about 1 month and it has gotten rid of all of the big spots I had under the skin and has even helped with the scarring. I still have a few small spots at the surface but it has improved a lot. I did get some dryness at the start but this was solved with a very gentle and light moisturiser and was not a problem for me. I will continue using this as I am happy with the results and hoping I will see more improvement as I continue. I would recommend for anyone struggling with acne, it hasn’t completely gotten rid of all my spots but has reduced them dramatically."

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) "I have been using duac for around 6 months maybe a bit longer and although i have noticed a difference with my spots i really dislike the fact in makes my skin so dry. I would however recommend it to anyone suffering with acne who doesnt mind the dryness as it does appear to clear it up."

"I suffered from hormonal and cystic acne on my chin/jawline and around my mouth and my dermatologist prescribed this for me. I began using it in June and the first few days of use I felt my acne getting way worse so I stopped using it for a couple days but my derm told me to stick with it so I began using it every single day for the next 2 months and my acne has all disappeared and my scars are fading. I barely break out anymore and my skin looks so much better thanks to this product. (Side note: for the first couple weeks of using this my skin dried out a little bit and kind of peeled but everntuslly my skin adjusted and it doesn't dry me out anymore) Just stick with it ;)"

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) "I started using Duac about 3 months ago, with quite bad spots on my forehead. I began noticing a change a week into using the cream, and now it has shrunk all my spots and has stopped any new ones coming. Best I've ever used and I didn't have any dry/red skin as a side effect either. Amazing!"

Acanya (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) "I tried this gel after suffering from severe acne once a month (after stopping birth control). I'm 28 years old, have always had a FEW pimples at a time, but never anything like what I experiences after stopping birth control! I used the gel, and the first day was terrible. My whole skin burned and peeled, and I stopped using Acanya after that for about 3 weeks. I then researched the gel, and was informed that I shouldn't have put it all over my face, especially in sensitive areas. So I tried using it again, only on my forehead and jawline. I have literally not had one acne breakout since I have started up again, and it has been about 7 months! One pimple once in a while, but that's it! Amazing! No more burning as well!"

Onexton (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) "Amazing! Currently on doxy and onexton. To keep this short I will say I've been on tons of other creams and gels and even accutane twice and nothing has worked this quick for me. My current combo has significantly flatted out my spots in a week. I am still getting a few new ones but I dab some onexton on there and bam. Within 24hrs those pesky spots either shrink or come to a head. I usually have to wait weeks for those under skin ones to go away but this stuff clears them up in a day or so. Yesterday morning I felt a new spot coming up and by nighttime it was gone. Crazy!"

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) "This is amazing! I would say I have moderate acne, and a lot of redness and acne scars. I have been using this gel for approximately 10 days and my skin is SO clear now! I have had comments from my friends on how clear my skin looks and what products I have been using. I have even been confident enough to go out the house without makeup due to my skin being so clear, which I haven't been able to do in a few years! I would definitely recommend this gel."

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) "I went to my dermatologist after suffering throughout my teenage years with acne. They prescribed me Duac gel. The first few days of using it my skin was fine, apart from a few red, patchy areas of skin. In my second week of using it I was in constant pain. My face was inflamed, swollen, incredibly dry and unbearably sore. I decided to stop using it and allowed my skin to recover from my traumatic ordeal, I had honestly never felt worse about myself. I then decided to give it another go, but this time using it for an hour a day, every other day. Once I felt my skin had acclimatised I did an hour every day. Now I can apply it over night without any redness or dryness. My skin has cleared up so much, but i recommend acclimatising your skin."

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) "I've been using this medication for over a week now and it's made my skin extremely dry, I can't apply foundation without it looking patchy regardless of the amount of moisturiser I use morning and night alongside primer. It's broken my face out with pimples. I didn't even have pimples to start of with-the medication was for scaring. I am so dissapointed with this because it's further spoilt my skin"

Acanya (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) "I've struggled with acne since I was about 13. I've used Proactive, Clean & Clear, Neutrogena, AcneFree, etc. and every other acne system you can think of. This product gets rid of my acne in about 4 days; it is all I need now. It doesn't matter what face wash, or toners you use with this, because all you need is the Acanya gel. It's pretty expensive but one bottle (only put on problem spots) lasts me about 4 months. Acanya has completely has kept my acne away for about a year now. As soon as you put it on, the next morning the size of the bumps reduce in size dramatically. About a week later, I had no acne. I didn't have bad skin, I just needed the right product."

Benzaclin (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) "Before I used it I was scared that it was going to dry out my skin because I already have really dry skin, but I've been using it with Cerave Lotion for extremely dry and rough skin and I haven't experienced any dryness! It got rid of my acne and small bumps on my face. I use it every night before I sleep and it's amazing!! My skin is now free of acne and is extremely smooth which is something I've never had before. I love it."

Benzaclin (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) "I absolutely love this product. I am 15 years old and this thing is a life saver. I use it every night before bed on my back, shoulders, chest and face. It clears my skin up in a couple days. The only down side I would say is that it drys out your skin alot. I have fairly oil skin too. But I use moisturizer so it isn't to much of a problem. I recommend it to my friends all the time."

Duac (benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin) "I was prescribed Duac gel by my doctor and it definitely did not work. I get the hormonal pimple here and there, and I generally have really good skin. However, after I used the duac gel, my face broke out a week later. I now have painful, cystic acne that is getting worse everyday. My doctor said it was a reaction to the cream and to stop immediately. Still waiting to see any signs of improvement after a week of not using."
