Who qualifies

Duac is indicated for patients presenting with mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne characterised by papules and pustules. Because medical safety is paramount, our doctors verify your clinical suitability before issuing any prescription.

• Eligible cases: Adults with mild-to-moderate inflammatory facial acne seeking topical antimicrobial and keratolytic therapy.
• Mandatory photo upload: High-resolution photographs are mandatory so the reviewing clinician can confirm the absence of contraindicated skin conditions.
• Out-of-scope conditions: Severe nodulocystic acne, deep scarring acne, oral isotretinoin, oral antibiotics, and hormonal therapies are not prescribed online. Patients with severe acne are referred to in-person specialist care.

What Duac actually does

Duac is a dual-action topical gel combining clindamycin 1% (a lincosamide antibiotic) and benzoyl peroxide (3% or 5%). Clindamycin suppresses Cutibacterium acnes bacteria, while benzoyl peroxide provides bactericidal and mild comedolytic action.

Crucially, benzoyl peroxide prevents C. acnes from developing resistance to clindamycin, which is why clindamycin is never prescribed as a monotherapy. Treatment is applied once nightly and is strictly capped at a maximum duration of 12 weeks to minimise resistance risks.

Clinical evaluation for topical acne therapies is measured at the 12-week mark. Skin irritation or mild initial purging can occur during weeks 2 to 6.

Side effects and when to stop

Most side effects are localised and occur during the first few weeks of application. Common reactions include redness, peeling, dryness, and a mild burning or stinging sensation.

Benzoyl peroxide bleaches dyed fabrics, towels, and hair, so wash hands thoroughly after application. Discontinue use and seek urgent medical attention if you experience severe contact dermatitis, facial swelling, or symptoms of antibiotic-associated colitis such as severe or persistent watery diarrhea.
