Comparing Aldactone vs Duac

For Acne Being almost 30 and having cystic acne I began taking this as a last result. I tried all skin care lines....found myself using Clarins and my skin improved but still I was oily and breaking out on my neck and cheeks. After a couple of weeks I noticed I wasn't waking up with what seemed like a thick layer of oil on my face. I began to break out less and less. My Dermatologist upped my dose and now my painful cystic acne is gone and my skin feels great. Although I find myself very parched at times and you must watch your salt and alcohol intake. I like this medication.

For Acne I have been taking Aldactone for adult hormonal acne for almost 2 years and I cannot even put into words the HUGE difference it has made. In my early 20's, I began getting horrible cystic acne all over my chin and entire jaw line area. I had used every product available including Proactive, expensive designer dept store lines, Retin-A, birth controls etc...NOTHING helped! I'd have 5-15 painful nodules at once, each lasting 2-3 weeks and most scaring. My self-esteem was ruined, I was ashamed. Finally, at age 28, I went to a dermatologist and started on Aldactone 100mg/day. I saw noticeable improvement within a week and was totally clear in one month! Increased to 150mg/day after 3 months and have had flawless skin since. Truly a LIFESAVER medicine.

For Acne I was prescribed duac 3% about two months ago by my dermatologist. Because my skin is quite sensitive he told me to use it on alternative days and to use a different cream on the in between days, so that's what I did. I only experienced extremely dry skin for about two days, two weeks after starting the treatment, besides that I had no side effects. My problem was that on both sides of my face I was having pus filled pimples and a lot of big ones underneath the skin as well. I wouldn't say that the treatment worked fast for me but it did work. I'm two months in and my pimples are almost completely gone, no marks, no redness. Totally recommend this product under doctor prescription. if you have more severe acne you may want to ask the duac 5%, but it is not recommended if you have sensitive skin as it may contribute to severe dryness and skin breaks and cracks.

For Acne I started using Duac and within 8-10 days my face was completely clear of acne however when I came back to use it, it wasn't as effective as the first time.
