Who qualifies
Online dermatology consultations suit adults experiencing mild to moderate inflammatory acne with papules and pustules. Because Duac contains an antibiotic, doctors carefully verify whether a combined topical formulation matches your clinical presentation.
Topical acne treatments available through Hi-Doctor include:
- Clindamycin 1% + benzoyl peroxide (3% or 5%) gel (Duac): Applied once nightly, capped at a maximum 12-week course to control bacterial overgrowth without inducing long-term resistance.
- Adapalene 0.1% + benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel: A retinoid-antibacterial combination targeting comedones and inflammatory lesions simultaneously.
- Azelaic acid 15% gel: Comedolytic and antibacterial therapy frequently chosen for darker skin phototypes and pregnancy due to low irritation profiles.
Out of scope: Severe nodular, cystic, or scarring acne requires in-person clinical assessment. Hi-Doctor does not prescribe oral isotretinoin (Roaccutane), oral antibiotics, or hormonal therapies online; patients presenting with these needs are referred to in-person care.
| Treatment | Active Ingredients | Application | Primary Indication |
|---|---|---|---|
| Duac Gel | Clindamycin 1% + Benzoyl Peroxide (3% or 5%) | Once nightly (max 12 weeks) | Mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne |
| Epiduo / Acniduo | Adapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% | Once nightly | Comedonal and inflammatory acne |
| Skinoren / Finacea | Azelaic Acid 15% | Twice daily | Sensitive skin, post-inflammatory marks |
What Duac actually does
Duac combines clindamycin (a lincosamide antibiotic) and benzoyl peroxide (an oxidising antibacterial agent). Clindamycin suppresses Cutibacterium acnes protein synthesis, while benzoyl peroxide introduces free radicals that destroy bacterial cell walls and unclog follicular pores.
Crucially, benzoyl peroxide prevents bacteria from developing resistance to clindamycin, which is why topical clindamycin is never prescribed alone. Meaningful clinical improvement is typically evaluated at 12 weeks of consistent application, though minor purging or flaking can occur in weeks 2 through 6.
Side effects and when to stop
Common local reactions include mild erythema, localized peeling, stinging, and dryness during initial weeks. Benzoyl peroxide bleaches hair and coloured fabrics, so take care around clothing and bed linens.
Stop treatment immediately and seek medical advice if you experience severe abdominal cramps, persistent watery diarrhoea, or signs of an allergic reaction such as facial swelling or hives.
