Who qualifies

Duac is indicated for mild to moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris featuring papules and pustules. Because clinical safety is mandatory, an EU-licensed doctor assesses every submission individually before issuing a prescription.

Editorial still life illustrating Who qualifies
Who qualifies
  • Eligible patients: Adults and adolescents aged 12 and older presenting with inflammatory acne lesions who provide clear clinical photographs.
  • Photo assessment: Uploading clear images allows the doctor to grade lesion severity and exclude contraindications accurately.
  • Out of scope: Severe nodular, cystic, or scarring acne requires direct physical examination and is referred to in-person care.
  • Medication limits: Hi-Doctor provides topical treatments only. Oral isotretinoin, oral antibiotics, and systemic hormonal therapies are not prescribed online.

What Duac actually does

Duac is a fixed-dose topical gel combining clindamycin 1% (a lincosamide antibiotic) with benzoyl peroxide (at 3% or 5% concentration). Clindamycin suppresses Cutibacterium acnes bacteria within the pilosebaceous follicles to reduce inflammatory lesions. Benzoyl peroxide provides strong antibacterial and mild keratolytic effects while preventing the bacteria from developing resistance to clindamycin.

Because combination therapy is designed for acute flare control, treatment duration is strictly capped at a maximum of 12 continuous weeks. While initial skin adjustment occurs during weeks 2 to 6, definitive clinical improvement is evaluated at 12 weeks.

Active Ingredient Primary Action Role in Formula
Clindamycin 1% Topical antibiotic Inhibits protein synthesis in C. acnes to lower inflammation.
Benzoyl Peroxide 3% or 5% Oxidising antibacterial Kills bacterial flora and prevents antibiotic resistance.

Side effects and when to stop

Topical application of Duac can cause mild, localised skin reactions during the first few weeks of therapy. Most reactions subside as your skin barrier adapts.

  • Common reactions: Mild erythema, peeling, dryness, burning sensation, and temporary photosensitivity.
  • Fabric precautions: Benzoyl peroxide bleaches hair, fabrics, towels, and clothing on contact.
  • When to discontinue: Stop treatment and consult a doctor if you develop severe contact dermatitis, persistent blistering, or severe swelling.
