You complete a private medical questionnaire with a photo upload, and an EU-licensed doctor reviews your acne case individually. If clinically appropriate, the doctor issues an official REMPE electronic prescription in under 24 hours that you can present at local pharmacies across Marbella and the Costa del Sol. The consultation costs a 40 € one-off fee, which is refunded in full if the doctor does not issue a prescription.

• Official REMPE prescription: If approved, your prescription PDF includes a QR code verifiable throughout Spain and can be presented at any EU pharmacy, where the pharmacist may dispense the medication.

Who qualifies

Duac is a prescription-only combination gel designed specifically for inflammatory acne. An EU doctor must confirm that your clinical profile matches the safety parameters before issuing an order.

Clinical Status	Eligibility	Action / Recommended Route
Mild-to-moderate papulopustular acne	Eligible	Doctor evaluates for topical Duac or alternative combination gels.
Prior non-inflammatory comedonal acne only	Alternative indicated	Doctor may evaluate for adapalene or azelaic acid 15% gel instead.
Pregnancy or breastfeeding	Alternative indicated	Azelaic acid 15% gel is typically preferred due to safety profiles.
Severe nodulocystic or scarring acne	Not eligible online	Referred to in-person clinical care; oral isotretinoin is out of scope.

Hi-Doctor's online acne consultations are strictly for topical treatments. If you require oral antibiotics, oral isotretinoin, or hormonal therapy, our doctors will refer you to an in-person dermatology clinic.

What Duac actually does

Duac contains two synergistic active ingredients: clindamycin 1% (a lincosamide antibiotic) and benzoyl peroxide (3% or 5%). It targets the primary physiological drivers of inflammatory acne vulgaris.

• Bacterial suppression: Clindamycin inhibits protein synthesis in Cutibacterium acnes, rapidly reducing bacterial colonization inside clogged follicles.
• Resistance prevention: Benzoyl peroxide introduces powerful oxidizing activity. This bactericidal mechanism prevents C. acnes from developing resistance to clindamycin, which is why clindamycin is never prescribed as a monotherapy.
• Comedolytic action: Benzoyl peroxide mildly exfoliates the follicular epithelium, helping to unblock sebaceous pores.

Clinical treatment limit: Duac is prescribed for a maximum continuous duration of 12 weeks to limit antibiotic exposure and preserve skin barrier integrity.

Apply a thin layer once nightly to clean, dry skin across the entire affected area, not just individual spots. Meaningful clinical improvements are typically evaluated at 12 weeks of consistent use.

Side effects and when to stop

Most patients tolerate Duac well, though localized skin irritation is common during the first 2 to 4 weeks of application.

• Common reactions: Mild redness, peeling, dryness, and a slight stinging or burning sensation. Using an oil-free, non-comedogenic moisturizer helps manage these barrier changes.
• Bleaching hazard: Benzoyl peroxide will bleach hair, towels, and clothing. Wash your hands thoroughly after application and let the gel dry before bed.
• When to stop immediately: Discontinue use and seek urgent medical attention if you experience severe abdominal cramps or prolonged watery diarrhea (a rare systemic reaction to clindamycin), or severe signs of an allergic contact dermatitis (swelling of the face, eyes, or lips).
