Who qualifies

Duac is indicated for patients with mild to moderate inflammatory acne characterised by papules and pustules. Because it contains both an antibiotic and an oxidising agent, it is prescribed for active breakouts that require dual-action topical management.

Hi-Doctor provides topical dermatology treatments only. Patients with severe nodulocystic acne, deep conglobate lesions, or active scarring do not qualify for online treatment and are referred to in-person clinics. Furthermore, Hi-Doctor does not prescribe oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics online.

Over 50,000 patients have used Hi-Doctor for professional medical reviews, backed by a 4.8/5 Trustpilot rating.

What Duac actually does

Duac combines two active ingredients: clindamycin 1% (a lincosamide antibiotic) and benzoyl peroxide (at 3% or 5% concentration). Clindamycin reduces the bacterial load of Cutibacterium acnes inside hair follicles, suppressing inflammatory responses.

Benzoyl peroxide acts as a potent bactericidal agent through oxidation and provides mild keratolytic action. Crucially, the presence of benzoyl peroxide prevents C. acnes from developing resistance to clindamycin, which is why topical clindamycin is not prescribed as a monotherapy. Treatment courses with Duac are capped at a maximum of 12 weeks to limit resistance risks.

Patients should expect a gradual therapeutic response. Skin adjustment and minor redness can occur during weeks 2 to 6, with meaningful clinical improvement evaluated at the 12-week mark.

Side effects and when to stop

Local cutaneous reactions are common during the first few weeks of application. These typically include dryness, peeling, mild burning, and redness at the application site.

Benzoyl peroxide bleaches coloured hair and fabrics, so application should be managed carefully before sleep. You should wash your hands thoroughly after applying the gel.

Stop using Duac immediately and contact a healthcare provider if you develop severe contact dermatitis, intense swelling, blistering, or persistent abdominal cramps with severe diarrhoea. Although systemic absorption of topical clindamycin is low, gastrointestinal symptoms require medical assessment.

Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic

Booking a public dermatology consultation through local health centres in Terrassa often involves waiting several weeks or months. Private clinics offer faster access but typically charge significant fees for routine repeat assessments.

Hi-Doctor provides a structured, asynchronous alternative. You upload high-resolution images and complete a comprehensive clinical questionnaire without taking time off work or sitting in waiting rooms.
