Benzoyl Peroxide 5% + Clindamycin 1% Gel (High Strength)

Benzoyl Peroxide & Clindamycin Gel is a topical antibiotic treatment used for mild to moderate acne. It is the generic version of Duac Gel, which contains the same ingredients.

It works by targeting acne-causing bacteria that cause acne. Effects may be seen as early as 2 weeks into treatment. However, you may need up to 5 weeks to see results. Ensure you apply clindamycin & benzoyl peroxide gel every day, as prescribed, in order to get results with this acne treatment. Excessive application will not improve results but may increase the risk of skin irritation.

How to use Clindamycin & Benzoyl Peroxide Gel

• Wash the skin with a mild cleanser and pat dry
• Apply a thin layer of gel all over the affected skin
• It is best to apply once a day in the evening
• Wash your hands after use
• Avoid applying it on the eyes, mouth or inside your nose

Treatment with Clindamycin & Benzoyl Peroxide Gel should not exceed more than 12 weeks of continuous use.
