Who qualifies
Duac is a prescription-only topical treatment indicated for mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne presenting with papules and pustules. It is suitable for adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older who need combined antibacterial and comedolytic action.
Hi-Doctor exclusively treats mild-to-moderate conditions requiring topical therapy. Severe, cystic, nodular, or deeply scarring acne requires in-person clinical monitoring and physical examination. Oral isotretinoin, oral antibiotics, and hormonal therapies for acne are out of scope and are referred to in-person care.
| Treatment | Active Ingredients | Primary Indication | Treatment Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Duac Gel | Clindamycin 1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 3% or 5% | Inflammatory acne lesions (papules/pustules) | Capped at 12 weeks |
| Epiduo / Acniduo | Adapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% | Comedones and inflammatory acne | Ongoing maintenance |
| Skinoren / Finacea | Azelaic Acid 15% | Acne with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation | Long-term safe |
What Duac actually does
Duac combines two active ingredients in a single topical gel: clindamycin (1%) and benzoyl peroxide (3% or 5%). Clindamycin is a lincosamide antibiotic that halts the synthesis of bacterial proteins, suppressing Cutibacterium acnes colonization within hair follicles.
Benzoyl peroxide provides keratolytic and bactericidal action via the release of free oxygen radicals. Crucially, the benzoyl peroxide component prevents C. acnes from developing resistance to clindamycin. Because of resistance risks, clindamycin is never prescribed alone for acne management.
Duac therapy is strictly capped at 12 consecutive weeks to minimize the potential for bacterial resistance. Most patients notice an initial reduction in inflammation within 2 to 4 weeks, but clinical efficacy is judged at 12 weeks of consistent, once-nightly application.
Side effects and when to stop
Local cutaneous reactions are common during the first few weeks of application. You may experience localized erythema, peeling, dryness, mild stinging, or itching at the application site.
Benzoyl peroxide oxidizes fabrics and hair; ensure the gel dries completely before contact with towels or clothing. If you experience severe burning, swelling of the face, or persistent abdominal cramping with watery diarrhea, stop using the gel immediately and seek urgent medical evaluation.
Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic

A registered EU doctor assesses your photos and medical history asynchronously, removing the need for travel or schedule adjustments. You receive an auditable medical assessment for a flat 40 € fee, with your prescription issued directly to your device when clinically suitable.
A doctor reads your photos, not a quiz result.
Complete the online questionnaire and add photos of the affected skin. An EU-licensed doctor reviews both and, if a topical treatment is clinically appropriate, issues a valid electronic prescription in under 24 hours. If no prescription is issued, the €40 fee is refunded in full.
