Who qualifies

Duac is a prescription-only combination gel formulated for mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne. It is suitable for patients with active papules and pustules who require targeted antibacterial and comedolytic treatment.

Hi-Doctor provides consultations for topical acne treatments only. Severe, nodular, cystic, or scarring acne requires in-person medical care and is referred to clinic specialists.

You may qualify if you meet the following clinical criteria:

• You are an adult dealing with mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne lesions.
• You do not have a known allergy to clindamycin, lincomycin, or benzoyl peroxide.
• You do not have a history of regional enteritis, ulcerative colitis, or antibiotic-associated colitis.
• You understand that oral isotretinoin, oral antibiotics, and systemic hormonal therapies are out of scope and not prescribed through Hi-Doctor.

What Duac actually does

Duac combines two active ingredients: clindamycin 1% (a lincosamide antibiotic) and benzoyl peroxide (3% or 5%, an oxidising antibacterial agent). Clindamycin suppresses the growth of Cutibacterium acnes by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. Benzoyl peroxide provides rapid bactericidal action and reduces surface free fatty acids.

Crucially, the benzoyl peroxide component prevents C. acnes from developing resistance to clindamycin. Because of this resistance profile, clindamycin is not prescribed as a monotherapy. Duac treatment courses are strictly capped at a maximum of 12 consecutive weeks to minimise resistance and chronic irritation.

Side effects and when to stop

Most side effects from Duac occur locally at the application site during the initial weeks of treatment. You can manage mild dryness by applying an oil-free moisturiser.

• Common local reactions: Redness, peeling, burning sensation, and dryness.
• Fabric bleaching: Benzoyl peroxide bleaches hair, towels, and clothing; wash hands thoroughly after application.
• When to stop immediately: Severe local swelling, blistering, signs of an allergic reaction, or persistent watery or bloody diarrhoea (antibiotic-associated colitis).
