Who qualifies

To safely get Duac online, you must meet clear clinical criteria. Duac is indicated for mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne characterized by papules, pustules, and comedones.

Hi-Doctor exclusively treats mild to moderate dermatological conditions through topical pathways. The service does not treat severe, nodulocystic, or scarring acne, and Hi-Doctor does not prescribe oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics online. Patients with severe skin presentations are referred directly to in-person specialist care.

• Eligible candidates: Adults with mild-to-moderate inflammatory facial acne, comedones, and superficial pustules who have not experienced severe reactions to topical clindamycin or benzoyl peroxide.
• Ineligible candidates: Patients with cystic, nodular, or deeply scarring acne; pregnant or breastfeeding individuals (where azelaic acid 15% is typically preferred); or those with a history of regional enteritis, ulcerative colitis, or antibiotic-associated colitis.

What Duac actually does

Duac combines two synergistic active agents: clindamycin 1% (a lincosamide antibiotic) and benzoyl peroxide (at 3% or 5% concentration). This topical gel attacks acne via two complementary mechanisms.

Clindamycin suppresses the growth of Cutibacterium acnes, reducing inflammatory mediators. Benzoyl peroxide provides potent bactericidal action through oxidative mechanisms and functions as a mild keratolytic agent. Crucially, the benzoyl peroxide component prevents C. acnes from developing resistance to clindamycin, which is why topical clindamycin is never prescribed as monotherapy.

Application is once nightly to clean, dry skin. To prevent bacterial resistance and chronic skin barrier disruption, treatment with Duac is strictly capped at a maximum duration of 12 weeks.

Treatment Stage	Clinical Progression	Patient Management
Weeks 1–2	Skin adjustment phase; mild erythema, peeling, and dryness may occur.	Apply a non-comedogenic moisturiser; avoid combining with other harsh exfoliants.
Weeks 3–6	Inflammatory lesions begin resolving; active bacterial load drops significantly.	Maintain once-nightly application; use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
Weeks 8–12	Peak clinical efficacy; meaningful reduction in inflammatory papules and pustules.	Doctor evaluates skin status; Duac therapy concludes at week 12.

Side effects and when to stop

Mild localised irritation is common when starting topical benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin. Most skin reactions can be managed by adjusting your moisturising routine.

• Common localized effects: Redness, peeling, burning sensation, contact dryness, and photosensitivity. Benzoyl peroxide will also bleach hair, towels, and clothing.
• When to discontinue immediately: Severe local contact dermatitis, marked swelling, or signs of an allergic reaction.
• Systemic warning: Although rare with topical application, if you develop severe, persistent, or bloody diarrhoea or severe abdominal cramps, stop using the gel immediately and seek urgent medical evaluation.
