Who qualifies

Duac is indicated for patients with mild to moderate inflammatory acne characterised by papules and pustules. Eligibility is determined strictly by the reviewing physician based on your clinical history and uploaded photos.

• Eligible cases: Adults and adolescents aged 12 and older presenting with active inflammatory acne lesions who have no contraindications to topical lincosamides or peroxides.
• Out of scope: Severe nodular, cystic, or scarring acne requires in-person clinical management. Hi-Doctor does not prescribe oral isotretinoin, oral antibiotics, or systemic hormonal therapies for acne online; patients presenting with severe disease are referred to in-person care.
• Medical contraindications: Patients with a history of regional enteritis, ulcerative colitis, or antibiotic-associated colitis cannot safely use clindamycin-containing topicals.

What Duac actually does

Duac combines two active ingredients: clindamycin 1% (as clindamycin phosphate) and benzoyl peroxide (3% or 5%). Clindamycin is a lincosamide antibiotic that halts the growth of Cutibacterium acnes by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. Benzoyl peroxide acts as a potent oxidizing agent with keratolytic and antibacterial properties.

The inclusion of benzoyl peroxide is critical because it prevents Cutibacterium acnes from developing resistance to clindamycin. For this reason, clindamycin is never prescribed as a standalone topical monotherapy. Duac is applied once nightly to clean, dry skin, and treatment is capped at a maximum continuous duration of 12 weeks to minimise the risk of bacterial resistance and cutaneous irritation.

Clinical guideline: Duac treatment is strictly capped at 12 weeks. Retinoids or azelaic acid may require 6 to 12 weeks for full clinical evaluation, whereas Duac acts primarily on acute inflammatory lesions.

Side effects and when to stop

Most patients experience mild, localised cutaneous reactions during the first few weeks of using Duac. Expected side effects include localized erythema, peeling, dryness, and a mild burning sensation. Benzoyl peroxide also bleaches fabrics, hair, and towels.

You should discontinue application and consult a healthcare professional if you experience severe contact dermatitis, intense facial swelling, or persistent abdominal cramping and watery diarrhoea (which can rarely occur due to systemic absorption of clindamycin).
