Who qualifies

Duac is a prescription-only topical treatment formulated for mild to moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris. To safely get Duac online in Castellón de la Plana, you must meet specific clinical criteria evaluated by our medical team during your assessment.

  • Mild to moderate inflammatory acne: Patients with active papules and pustules on the face or body.
  • Adults and adolescents: Suitable for patients aged 12 and older without hypersensitivity to clindamycin, lincomycin, or benzoyl peroxide.
  • Out of scope conditions: Severe cystic, nodular, or scarring acne requires in-person care and is not treated online. Hi-Doctor prescribes topical therapies only and does not prescribe oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics for acne online.

What Duac actually does

Duac combines two evidence-based active ingredients: clindamycin 1% (a lincosamide antibiotic) and benzoyl peroxide (3% or 5%, an oxidising antibacterial and keratolytic agent). Clindamycin suppresses Cutibacterium acnes protein synthesis, while benzoyl peroxide rapidly reduces bacterial colonisation through free radical release. Crucially, the benzoyl peroxide component prevents bacteria from developing resistance to clindamycin, which is why clindamycin is never prescribed alone for acne.

What treatment actually does
Treatment Phase Expected Clinical Progression Action Required
Weeks 1–2 Mild redness, dryness, or peeling as skin adapts. Apply once nightly; use an oil-free moisturiser.
Weeks 3–6 Initial reduction in active inflammatory pustules. Maintain nightly application; avoid sun exposure without SPF.
Weeks 8–12 Meaningful reduction in lesion count and inflammation. Full medical evaluation of results; maximum course is 12 weeks.
Timeline data from the table above.

Treatment courses with Duac are strictly capped at 12 continuous weeks to limit long-term topical antibiotic exposure. If ongoing maintenance is needed after 12 weeks, your doctor may suggest switching to non-antibiotic topicals such as azelaic acid 15% gel or adapalene 0.1% + benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel.

Side effects and when to stop

Most local reactions to Duac are mild and resolve as your skin acclimatises. Common side effects include erythema (redness), peeling, dryness, and a mild stinging sensation at the application site.

  • Photosensitivity and bleaching: Benzoyl peroxide bleaches hair, towels, and clothing, and increases UV sensitivity. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
  • Severe local irritation: If severe burning, blistering, or widespread dermatitis occurs, discontinue use and contact your doctor.
  • Systemic symptoms: Although rare with topical application, discontinue treatment immediately and seek urgent medical evaluation if you develop severe, persistent, or bloody diarrhoea.
