Duac Gel is used to treat mild to moderate acne, including spots, pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. It is applied directly onto the skin once daily.
Duac acne treatment can be used by adults and children over the age of 12 years.
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.
Common side effects of Duac prescription treatment are:
These side effects tend to be mild. If you notice any of the above side effects, use Duac daily gel less often.
In rare cases, Duac can cause stomach cramps and diarrhoea as it contains an antibiotic. If you experience any severe side effects, you must stop using Duac acne gel and speak to your doctor or pharmacist.
For a full list of side effects, please read the patient information leaflet.
Duac acne gel contains 2 ingredients combatting acne in different ways. It contains an acne fighting antibiotic and also another ingredient which is known to reduce bacteria by up to 95%. Duac topical gel is an easy to use product and only needs to be applied once a day. Consistency is key and you may see results in as little as 2 weeks.
Duac spot gel has two strengths: benzoyl peroxide 3%, clindamycin 1% and benzoyl peroxide 5%, clindamycin 1%. There are two pack sizes of each strength: Duac 30g gel and Duac 60g gel.
Duac 5% gel is a dual-action medicine that fights bacteria causing acne. Clindamycin is an antibiotic that stops bacteria from growing, and benzoyl peroxide kills bacteria. As a result, most people see an improvement in their skin within 30 days.
Duac gel can be used to treat moderate acne where there is inflammation of the skin. Cystic acne is a severe form of acne and so may require another form of treatment.
Yes, Duac once daily gel can be used for back acne. Duac is applied directly onto the skin.
A thin layer of Duac gel should be applied to the entire affected area of the skin, not just individual spots. For example, if applying to the face, you should use a fingertip amount of Duac.
Acne caused by hormonal imbalances can be treated with Duac acne gel. However, contraceptive medication is also an option to restore hormonal balance and can be used alongside other topical products.
Duac daily gel can start to work in as little as 48 hours, although it can take between 2 and 6 weeks before you can see an improvement. You should not use Duac for more than 12 weeks.
Benzoyl peroxide can help with inflammation of the skin in rosacea. Your doctor or pharmacist can advise you if Duac gel is suitable for you.
Duac acne cream is not available. It comes in an easy to apply gel formulation.
Duac acne medication is not recommended in pregnancy as there is only limited information on how safe it is to use. It is unknown if the ingredients in Duac gel can be passed into the mother’s milk, so for this reason, we cannot prescribe Duac to breastfeeding mothers.
Usually, any prescription medication would require an appointment with the doctor, but at Click2Pharmacy, we have prescribing pharmacists. This means you can buy Duac acne gel directly from us. All you need to do is fill out a consultation form, which our team will review. Once approved, your medication will be delivered to your door.
