What is Duac acne gel?

Duac acne gel is a topical antibiotic medicine. It comes in two strengths: Duac 5% and 1%, and Duac 3% and 1% gel. Two pack sizes are available- Duac gel 30g and Duac gel 60g. The overproduction of sebum on the skin can lead to clogged pores and excess oil, causing blackheads and whiteheads. Bacteria can also feed on excess sebum and cause infected red spots, which are a typical sign of acne. Studies show that Duac gel works within 2 days of use, which is quicker than other medicines. You can buy Duac once daily gel from the online clinic at Click2Pharmacy.

What is Duac acne gel used for?

How does Duac acne spot gel work?

Duac acne spot gel is applied to the skin daily. The dual action active ingredients clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide work simultaneously. Clindamycin is an antibiotic that prevents bacteria from reproducing and controls the inflammation of the skin. Benzoyl peroxide reduces the number of whiteheads and blackheads by causing the top layer of skin to break down and shed. Another feature of benzoyl peroxide is that it kills bacteria. Both active ingredients make Duac spot treatment a good choice for treating mild to moderate acne.
