2. Upload skin photographs: Submit clear photos of the affected areas so the doctor can assess lesion types and disease severity.
3. Medical assessment: An EU-licensed doctor reviews your case within 24 hours and issues a prescription when clinically appropriate.
4. Download your prescription: Access your REMPE prescription PDF from your secure account to present at a physical pharmacy in Bari or elsewhere in the EU.

Who qualifies

Duac is prescribed for adults and adolescents dealing with mild to moderate inflammatory acne. It is intended for papules and pustules that do not respond sufficiently to standard over-the-counter washes.

• Eligible criteria: Adults with active inflammatory breakouts who upload clear photographs and have no contraindications to clindamycin or benzoyl peroxide.
• Mandatory photo upload: The dermatology intake requires photos so the doctor can clinically verify lesion morphology before deciding on treatment.
• Out of scope conditions: Hi-Doctor only offers topical therapies. Severe nodulocystic acne, deep cystic lesions, scarring acne, oral isotretinoin, oral antibiotics, and systemic hormonal medications require in-person medical care and are not prescribed.

What Duac actually does

Duac gel contains two active ingredients: clindamycin phosphate (1%) and benzoyl peroxide (3% or 5%). Clindamycin is a topical lincosamide antibiotic that halts protein synthesis in Cutibacterium acnes, reducing bacterial counts in blocked follicles.

Using topical antibiotics alone can induce bacterial resistance. Benzoyl peroxide adds an oxidising bactericidal effect that breaks bacterial cell walls directly, preventing C. acnes from developing clindamycin resistance. For this reason, clindamycin is not prescribed as a standalone topical treatment.

Topical Treatment	Active Ingredients	Frequency	Treatment Duration
Duac Gel	Clindamycin 1% + Benzoyl Peroxide (3% or 5%)	Once nightly	Capped at 12 consecutive weeks
Epiduo / Acniduo	Adapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%	Once nightly	12 weeks or ongoing maintenance
Skinoren / Finacea	Azelaic Acid 15%	Twice daily	12 weeks or ongoing maintenance

Duac use is capped at 12 consecutive weeks to prevent long-term skin barrier impairment and bacterial adaptation. Retinoid purging or skin adjustment can occur in weeks 2 to 6, and meaningful therapeutic changes are assessed at 12 weeks rather than earlier.

Side effects and when to stop

Local skin irritation is common during the initial weeks of treatment. Benzoyl peroxide bleaches fabrics, hair, and towels, so wash your hands thoroughly after applying the gel.

• Common local reactions: Redness, peeling, dryness, burning, or itching around the application area during the first 1 to 2 weeks.
• Application advice: Apply a non-comedogenic moisturiser after the gel absorbs, and use daily broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect sensitive skin.
• When to stop: Discontinue use immediately if you develop severe contact dermatitis, facial swelling, difficulty breathing, or severe abdominal cramps with persistent watery diarrhoea.
