Who qualifies

Duac is indicated for patients dealing with mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne characterised by papules and pustules. Because it contains an active antibiotic, an EU-licensed physician must assess whether topical dual therapy is suitable for your skin profile.

The service is designed for adult patients seeking topical acne management. However, certain conditions fall strictly outside our telemedicine scope:

• Severe, nodulocystic, or deeply scarring acne.
• Acne requiring systemic treatment, such as oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics.
• Patients with known hypersensitivity to clindamycin, lincomycin, or benzoyl peroxide.
• Patients with a history of regional enteritis, ulcerative colitis, or antibiotic-associated colitis.

Patients with severe nodular acne or those needing systemic therapy are referred to in-person care for comprehensive physical assessment and blood monitoring.

What Duac actually does

Duac gel combines two complementary active ingredients: clindamycin 1% (as clindamycin phosphate) and benzoyl peroxide (3% or 5%). Clindamycin is a lincosamide antibiotic that suppresses Cutibacterium acnes, reducing the production of inflammatory mediators.

Benzoyl peroxide provides powerful keratolytic and bactericidal activity through the release of free oxygen radicals. Crucially, the addition of benzoyl peroxide prevents Cutibacterium acnes from developing resistance to clindamycin, which is why clindamycin is not prescribed in monotherapy.

Duac is applied once nightly to clean, dry skin. To limit potential bacterial resistance and cutaneous irritation, standard treatment duration is strictly capped at 12 weeks. Clinical assessment of efficacy is judged across this 12-week timeframe.

Topical Treatment	Active Ingredients	Primary Action	Application Regimen
Duac Gel	Clindamycin 1% + Benzoyl Peroxide (3% or 5%)	Antibacterial & comedolytic; suppresses C. acnes	Once nightly (max 12 weeks)
Epiduo / Acniduo	Adapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%	Retinoid cell turnover & antibacterial	Once nightly
Skinoren / Finacea	Azelaic Acid 15%	Comedolytic, anti-inflammatory, low PIH risk	Twice daily

Side effects and when to stop

Most side effects are localised to the application site and occur primarily during the first few weeks of therapy. Mild redness, peeling, dryness, and a slight stinging sensation are common as the skin adapts.

Benzoyl peroxide bleaches hair, fabrics, and towels, so wash your hands thoroughly after application. It also increases photosensitivity; daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is strongly recommended during treatment.

You should stop using Duac and seek medical advice if you experience:

• Severe local erythema, burning, blistering, or swelling of the face.
• Signs of allergic contact dermatitis.
• Severe or prolonged abdominal cramps and watery diarrhoea (symptoms of antibiotic-associated colitis).
