Who qualifies

Duac is indicated for mild to moderate inflammatory acne characterised by papules and pustules. During the consultation to get Duac online in Lugo, the doctor assesses whether topical combination therapy matches your clinical presentation.

• Eligible cases: Adults with mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne who have not achieved control with single-agent over-the-counter topicals.
• Mandatory photo upload: High-resolution photos are required so the doctor can assess lesion types and exclude contraindications.
• Out of scope: Severe cystic acne, nodular acne, extensive scarring, oral antibiotics, and oral isotretinoin (Roaccutane) are outside the scope of this service and require in-person specialist care.

What Duac actually does

Duac combines two active ingredients: clindamycin 1% (a lincosamide antibiotic) and benzoyl peroxide (available in 3% or 5% concentrations). Together, they target the primary drivers of inflammatory acne lesions.

Clindamycin suppresses the proliferation of Cutibacterium acnes, reducing local inflammation. Benzoyl peroxide provides a bactericidal oxidising action while offering mild keratolytic effects. Crucially, the benzoyl peroxide component prevents C. acnes from developing resistance to clindamycin, which is why topical clindamycin is not prescribed in isolation.

Duac treatment courses are strictly capped at 12 continuous weeks to minimise antibacterial resistance risks and skin irritation.

Clinical improvements are evaluated over a full 12-week course. Mild skin peeling or redness may occur in weeks 2 to 4 as your skin adjusts to benzoyl peroxide.

Side effects and when to stop

Most side effects from Duac are localised and manageable with proper application technique. Apply a thin layer once daily in the evening to clean, dry skin.

• Common reactions: Dryness, erythema (redness), peeling, and a mild burning or stinging sensation during initial weeks.
• Fabric bleaching: Benzoyl peroxide bleaches coloured fabrics, towels, and hair. Wash hands thoroughly after application.
• When to stop: Discontinue use and consult a physician if you develop severe contact dermatitis, facial swelling, or persistent painful irritation.
