Who qualifies
Duac (clindamycin 1% + benzoyl peroxide 3% or 5%) is a targeted topical treatment for mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne. Our online doctors review your case to ensure that topical antibacterial therapy is medically safe and appropriate for your skin condition.
- Eligible candidates: Adults with active papules, pustules, or inflammatory acne lesions on the face or body.
- Treatment duration: Duac is prescribed for a maximum continuous duration of 12 weeks to prevent bacterial resistance and minimise skin irritation.
- Topical scope only: Hi-Doctor's doctors only prescribe topical acne treatments, including Duac, azelaic acid 15% gel, and adapalene 0.1% + benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel.
- In-person referrals: Severe, nodular, cystic, or scarring acne requiring oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics cannot be treated online and is referred to in-person care.
What Duac actually does
Duac combines two active ingredients that address the underlying drivers of inflammatory acne simultaneously. The clindamycin component suppresses Cutibacterium acnes bacteria, while benzoyl peroxide provides an oxidising environment that reduces bacterial load and clears blocked follicles.
Benzoyl peroxide prevents Cutibacterium acnes from developing resistance to clindamycin, which is why topical clindamycin is never prescribed alone.
| Treatment Feature | Duac (Clindamycin 1% + BPO 3%/5%) | Adapalene + BPO (Epiduo) | Azelaic Acid 15% (Skinoren) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary Action | Antibacterial + Comedolytic | Retinoid + Antibacterial | Comedolytic + Antibacterial |
| Standard Duration | Capped at 12 weeks | Ongoing maintenance | Ongoing maintenance |
| Typical Purging | Minimal | Weeks 2 to 6 common | Rare |
| Evaluation Milestone | Judged at 12 weeks | Judged at 12 weeks | Judged at 12 weeks |
Apply a thin layer of Duac once nightly to clean, dry skin. Meaningful clinical change is judged at 12 weeks of consistent application, not before.
Side effects and when to stop
Mild localised redness, peeling, dryness, and a slight burning sensation are common during the initial weeks of using Duac. These symptoms can be managed by applying a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturiser.
Benzoyl peroxide bleaches fabrics and hair, so avoid direct contact with coloured towels, pillowcases, and clothing. Stop application and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe skin irritation, facial swelling, or significant abdominal cramping.
