Dual-Action Acne Treatment for Clearer Skin
Duac® Gel is a powerful prescription-only acne treatment that combines clindamycin (an antibiotic) and benzoyl peroxide (a topical antibacterial) to reduce acne-causing bacteria, unblock pores, and treat inflammation.
Applied once daily, Duac is ideal for treating mild to moderate acne, particularly when spots are inflamed or infected.
How Does Duac Work?
- Clindamycin is an antibiotic that targets the bacteria (Cutibacterium acnes) responsible for acne
- Benzoyl peroxide helps shed dead skin cells, clear blocked pores, and reduce oil
- The combination tackles both the cause and symptoms of acne, helping prevent new breakouts and reduce inflammation
Visible improvement is typically seen within 2 to 5 weeks, with full results after several months of continued use.
- Apply a thin layer once daily, preferably at night
- Use on clean, dry skin
- Avoid eyes, lips, and broken skin
- Wash hands thoroughly after application
- Use daily for continued improvement
Apply sunscreen during the day, as Duac can make skin more sensitive to sunlight.
