Who qualifies

To safely receive a topical acne prescription online, patients must meet specific clinical criteria. The reviewing doctor screens every submission to verify that topical therapy is safe and effective for your stage of acne.

• Eligible patients: Adults experiencing mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne characterised by papules, pustules, and comedones who require targeted topical antibacterial treatment.
• Mandatory photo upload: Patients must submit clear, well-lit photographs of the treatment areas so the doctor can accurately grade lesion severity.
• Out-of-scope conditions: Severe nodular, conglobate, or cystic acne with deep scarring requires in-person specialist management.
• Oral medication limitations: Hi-Doctor prescribes topical treatments only. Oral isotretinoin and oral antibiotics are strictly out of scope and referred to in-person care.

What Duac actually does

Duac is a dual-action topical gel containing clindamycin 1% (a lincosamide antibiotic) combined with benzoyl peroxide (available in 3% or 5% strengths). The combination is designed to suppress Cutibacterium acnes while clearing clogged pores and calming inflammatory lesions.

The benzoyl peroxide component provides an oxidative antibacterial effect that prevents bacteria from developing resistance to clindamycin. Because of this resistance risk, clindamycin is never prescribed as a monotherapy. Treatment courses with Duac are capped at a maximum of 12 weeks of continuous once-nightly use. Clinical changes are evaluated over 12 weeks; early skin adjustment or minor retinoid-like purging can occur in the first 2 to 6 weeks.

Side effects and when to stop

Topical combination gels can cause local cutaneous reactions as your skin adapts to benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin. Understanding normal adaptation versus adverse reactions ensures safe application.

• Common localized reactions: Mild peeling, dryness, skin redness (erythema), and temporary stinging upon application. Apply a non-comedogenic moisturiser to manage dryness.
• Bleaching precautions: Benzoyl peroxide oxidises and bleaches coloured hair, towels, and clothing on contact. Wash hands thoroughly after application.
• When to stop: Discontinue use immediately if you experience severe contact dermatitis, intense burning, facial swelling, or persistent abdominal cramps and diarrhea (a rare complication of topical clindamycin absorption).
