How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps
Getting an online acne assessment is completely digital, private, and asynchronous. You do not need to attend a video call or travel across Vigo.
- Complete the medical questionnaire: Answer focused questions about your acne history, previous treatments, and current skincare routine.
- Upload clear skin photos: Provide high-resolution photographs of the affected areas so the doctor can accurately grade lesion severity.
- Doctor clinical assessment: An EU-licensed doctor evaluates your case within 24 hours to determine if Duac is clinically suitable for your skin.
- Receive your REMPE prescription: If approved, download your official electronic prescription PDF directly from your secure account inbox to present at your local pharmacy.
Who qualifies
Duac is a prescription-only topical treatment indicated for mild to moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris. It is suitable for adults and adolescents who present with inflamed papules, pustules, and comedones.
- Eligible cases: Patients with mild-to-moderate inflammatory facial acne who require a dual-action topical treatment.
- Mandatory photo upload: You must submit clear, well-lit photos of your skin during the consultation so our doctors can confirm diagnostic criteria.
- Out of scope: Severe nodular, cystic, or scarring acne requires in-person specialist assessment. Hi-Doctor does not prescribe oral isotretinoin, oral antibiotics, or systemic hormonal therapies.
What Duac actually does
Duac gel combines two active ingredients: clindamycin 1% (a lincosamide antibiotic) and benzoyl peroxide (available in 3% or 5% strengths). Clindamycin suppresses Cutibacterium acnes bacteria within the follicles and reduces local inflammation. Benzoyl peroxide provides potent keratolytic and antimicrobial actions via oxidation.
Crucially, the benzoyl peroxide component prevents C. acnes from developing resistance to clindamycin. Because of this, clindamycin is rarely prescribed alone for acne. Treatment with Duac is strictly capped at a maximum continuous duration of 12 weeks to minimise bacterial resistance.
Expected treatment timeline
- Weeks 1–2: Initial skin adjustment; minor redness, peeling, or mild stinging may occur.
- Weeks 2–6: Active inflammation begins to subside, although temporary retinoid-like purging or skin turnover can happen.
- Week 12: Final clinical outcome is evaluated. Most patients see a meaningful reduction in inflammatory pustules by this milestone.
Side effects and when to stop
Most side effects from Duac are mild, local, and improve as your skin builds tolerance. Apply a pea-sized amount once nightly to clean, dry skin.
- Common local reactions: Erythema (redness), skin peeling, dryness, burning sensation, and photosensitivity. Use an oil-free SPF 50 sunscreen daily.
- Fabric bleaching: Benzoyl peroxide bleaches coloured fabrics, towels, and hair. Wash your hands thoroughly after application.
- When to discontinue: Stop using the gel immediately and consult a healthcare professional if you experience severe contact dermatitis, facial swelling, or persistent abdominal cramps/diarrhoea.
