Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin topical for Acne "I've been on this for a week and a half, and it's working fine, I guess. Too early to tell. However, it really burns my skin. I guess I have sensitive skin. Idk, but it burns a lot, and it's really irritating. I use this with Retin-A, so idk if together they burn, but it burns a lot."

Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin topical for Acne "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 acclimatized, I did an hour every day. Now I can apply it overnight without any redness or dryness. My skin has cleared up so much, but I recommend acclimatizing your skin."

For Acne "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 of 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 of weeks of using this, my skin dried out a little bit and kind of peeled, but eventually, my skin adjusted and it doesn't dry me out anymore.) Just stick with it ;)"

Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin topical for Acne "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 fewer pimples. I do still have a few pimples. However, I am very pleased with the results so far."

Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin topical for Acne "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."

Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin topical for Acne "I am a 20-year-old female, and I began breaking out with acne at the age of 15. I suffered from both dry and oily skin. I tried nearly every kind of commercial facial scrub there was. I would pop the pimples and then apply toothpaste, which would leave scars. I applied nearly every condiment I could find in the pantry to my face - I did, in fact, find that honey helped get rid of my blackheads. Desperate, I consulted my GP, and he prescribed me with DUAC. After two weeks of using this product, my acne was pretty much gone without leaving scars, and my skin was looking flawless. I gradually stopped using DUAC, and now I only wash my face with medicated soap and moisturize. Highly recommended, just ensure you're using a good moisturizer in the mornings."

Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin topical for Acne "I have spent so much money on skin care throughout my life, as well as dermatologist appointments. No one ever told me that I need Duac to kill the bacteria on my skin. The first product to actually work."

Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin topical for Acne "I had very bad acne, and the doctor prescribed me some Duac. Within days, I could see results, and within a few weeks, it had all cleared up. It changed my life. I now feel so much better about myself."

Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin topical for Acne "I've struggled with acne since I was about 13. I've used Proactiv, 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 kept my acne away for about a year now. As soon as you put it on, the next morning, the size of the bumps reduces dramatically. About a week later, I had no acne. I didn't have bad skin; I just needed the right product."

Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin topical for Acne "I am a teen who has had severe acne for two years with red, angry spots and whiteheads. I was prescribed Duac, which I have been on for a week now. It hasn't taken away all my spots but has shrunk them considerably. It doesn't sting but can cause redness and can make your face feel very tight. If you use makeup, wash it off in the morning because it will come up really weird under foundation and flaky, and I would recommend using moisturizer before using and in the morning. I'm not getting any new spots coming either :)"

Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin topical for Acne "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, and 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, and 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 itchy cheeks. But I am still happy about the results I've got so far."

Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin topical for Acne "I have very sensitive skin and am prone to dry, itchy skin, however, Duac has not affected me in this way at all. Duac literally got rid of all my spots on my forehead within a few uses, and not only that, but that was 3 years ago, and I haven't suffered since. I use it every now and then on the odd spot, but that's all... Duac is a miracle!!!"

Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin topical for Acne "My acne was really bad. I took some tablets, and then that cleared my skin from acne, but not the spots, so I went to my doctor, and she gave me this. I'm still using it, but I can see a lot of improvement. Thank you, DUAC."

Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin topical for Acne "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 from coming. Best I've ever used, and I didn't have any dry/red skin as a side effect either. Amazing!"

Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin topical for Acne "It is really effective. I had a lot of treatment for my acne, but it never went away. I was hopeless, and then my doctor prescribed Duac to me. I used it, and it really worked, but when I stop using it, my acne comes back."

Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin topical for Acne "Wow, this product is awesome! I have only been on it for a week now, and I'm seeing impressive results. I'm a teenager, and I have mild acne, and I've been struggling with it since I was 10. I figured it's about time to put an end to this, and I went to my doctor, and she prescribed this medicine. I have scars and occasionally really big pimples that hurt. This product magically reduces the size of your pimples. However, I will warn people that this medicine also dries your skin out and can cause flaking and peeling. So, use a moisturizer to counter the drying effect, and you should be all set. And make sure to wash your face too to prevent further acne! Other than this minor issue, it's a great product so far."

Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin topical for Acne "Before trying Duac, I had tried loads of expensive serums, creams, gels, rollers, and diets to no avail. I finally saw my GP three weeks ago, and she prescribed me a combined treatment of Duac gel and doxycycline. Initially, the Duac caused a burning effect, this lasted for about a week. It literally felt and looked like it was burning the top layer of my skin off. I pushed on, having read that this was common and not a reaction. Heading into week two, I started to get excited! Patches of my skin were already starting to clear up, and the burning and flaking weren’t as bad. Week three, and my skin looks amazing! I have a couple of teeny spots, but they are not pus-filled, and my skin is so smooth, even, non-greasy, and glowing!! I swear it looks like it did when I was 20!! I am blown away! My chest is almost clear, my back is getting there. I’m just so happy with the results so far. My advice to people starting out is to push through that initial horrible part because it’s sooooo worth it. Good luck, everyone."

Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin topical for Acne "At 35 years old, I thought I was over 'teenage acne,' and my recent issues were hormonal. Over the past few years, I've used every face wash possible! I go on holiday in 2 weeks and had the worst breakout ever! I didn't want to go on holiday looking like a child's dot-to-dot book, so I visited my doctor, who gave me this gel. I've used it for only 3 nights, and the spots are already 5 times better than they were! The red blotches from previous spots are also pretty much vanished. Yes, it's left my face dry and a bit tight, so make sure you use a good quality moisturizer once you've washed the gel off your face in the morning. I'd recommend reapplying moisturizer a couple of times throughout the day. Looking forward to seeing the full results!"

Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin topical for Acne "I had pimples all over my forehead, cheeks, chin, everywhere! They weren't so noticeable, but they were there! I went to the dermatologist about a week or two ago, and I'm so glad I did! My dermatologist gave me this cream to use in the morning, and my acne is already starting to fade completely! It does tingle a little, but I feel that's when it's working! I've tried a lot of other creams, but this one works best and fast!"

Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin topical for Acne "(UK) started this cream when my hormonal acne + stress made my skin a bit of a mess. Probably about 2-3 years ago. In the beginning, this stuff is AMAZING! I mean, it cleared my skin to perfection within a few months, however (I don't know if it's the same for everyone, but for me), this isn't a long-term solution. :( Maybe my skin became resistant to it, I'm not sure, but after a few months, it seemed to stop working. I stopped using it for a year or so to try and get rid of the resistance and started again a few months ago. It was definitely not as effective as the first time. It has a little effect, seems to keep massive breakouts at bay, but by no means does it clear my skin or prevent new ones, unfortunately."

Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin topical for Acne "I've had acne since I was about 13. I'm 16 now, and 6 months ago I went to the dermatologist, and he prescribed me Acanya in the mornings, Tazorac at night, and minocycline twice a day. He advised me to apply a moisturizer underneath both the Acanya and Tazorac because before I was using Proactiv, and it made my skin super sensitive to everything, and it kind of takes a while to work. I was told it would take 12 weeks to see a 'considerable' difference. I did see a great difference after 12 weeks, but I wasn't totally clear, so I kept on using all the products, and currently, I only break out once every two weeks, and they go away rather quickly, but I have a lot of scars, which is what the Tazorac is for. It just looks so much better than it did!"

Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin topical for Acne "Had few breakouts until age 23. I broke out badly, graded moderate acne with some cystic. After two weeks, skin is healing and basically zero breakouts. I use it morning and night. Oil-free moisturizer 5 min after in the morning. Vaseline around eyes at night due to bad drying in that sensitive area. Benzaclin is legit. Wouldn't say I had oily skin before (would dry actually), but I had overproduction of sebum, and this simply eliminated that issue."

Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin topical for Acne "I was never one to have severe acne, just a few small bumps here and there with a few big pimples that come every so often. However, they scarred very easily and left huge dark spots that were like 5x the size of little whiteheads. I went to my doctor to get rid of these dark spots that everyone was noticing. She prescribed Benzaclin, and I saw results! She recommended I cleanse my face with an Aveeno product, as it is gentle on skin, and it is amazing! At night I wash my face with Aveeno Positively Radiant cleanser and then apply Benzaclin (mainly focusing on the area with the dark spots). In the morning I use Aveeno Positively Radiant moisturizer, and these dark spots fade very quickly and it prevents further pimples. My face glows now!"

Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin topical for Acne "I have been using it for about 2 weeks now. It works a little, but it takes a long time. I have noticed my acne scars going away. However, 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."

Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin topical for Acne "I've only been using Duac for 5 days, but my skin is already so much clearer. I'm experiencing the dryness and peeling, but I can count the number of new spots I've had since using it on one hand. Usually, when I get up in the morning, I can expect to see at least 3 new spots on various parts of my face, so it's a huge improvement for me. I was put on it because I obsessively pick at my skin (which is linked with my anxiety), and so the more blemishes I have, the more I damage my face. So far, Duac is really helping me to leave my face alone, and I hope it will continue this way. If anyone has a similar problem, I would recommend at least giving it a try."
