How does Duac Gel for acne 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.

Both active ingredients make Duac spot treatment a good choice for treating mild to moderate acne.
