Who qualifies

Certain conditions fall outside the scope of remote treatment. Hi-Doctor provides topical treatments only. Patients with severe nodulocystic acne, deep scarring, or conditions requiring systemic treatments like oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics are referred to in-person specialist care.

Hi-Doctor has supported over 50,000 patients across Europe with an average Trustpilot rating of 4.8 out of 5.

What Duac actually does

Duac is a combination topical gel containing two synergistic active ingredients: clindamycin 1% (a lincosamide antibiotic) and benzoyl peroxide (3% or 5%). Clindamycin inhibits protein synthesis in Cutibacterium acnes, rapidly lowering bacterial load and suppressing inflammatory pathways. Benzoyl peroxide acts as a potent oxidizing agent that introduces reactive oxygen species, peeling the stratum corneum and clearing plugged follicular ducts.

Crucially, the bactericidal action of benzoyl peroxide prevents Cutibacterium acnes from developing resistance to clindamycin. This is why clindamycin is never prescribed as a monotherapy for acne. Treatment courses with Duac are capped at a maximum of 12 continuous weeks to balance therapeutic efficacy and protect skin barrier integrity.

TreatmentActive IngredientsMechanism of ActionTypical Timeline
Duac GelClindamycin 1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 3% or 5%Antibacterial + comedolytic; suppresses C. acnes without driving resistanceAssessment at 12 weeks; capped at 12 weeks
Epiduo / AcniduoAdapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%Retinoid cell turnover + antibacterial oxidationPurging weeks 2–6; full assessment at 12 weeks
Skinoren / FinaceaAzelaic Acid 15%Comedolytic, anti-inflammatory, low hyperpigmentation riskTwice daily; 8–12 weeks for visible change

Side effects and when to stop

Topical combination therapies can cause localized skin reactions during the initial weeks of application. Most side effects are manageable and diminish as the skin acclimates to the active ingredients.

  • Expected local reactions: Mild erythema, peeling, dryness, and a temporary burning or stinging sensation.
  • Fabric bleaching: Benzoyl peroxide bleaches colored fabrics, towels, and hair; wash hands thoroughly after application.
  • Photosensitivity: Increased sensitivity to UV light; apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
  • When to discontinue: Stop use and seek immediate medical evaluation if you experience severe contact dermatitis, facial swelling, or severe, persistent abdominal cramps and diarrhea.
