What is it?

Duac Gel 3% is a prescription-only topical treatment designed to combat mild to moderate acne. It combines:

Clindamycin: an antibiotic that targets acne-causing bacteria to reduce infection and inflammation.
Benzoyl Peroxide: a potent ingredient that unclogs pores, reduces blackheads and whiteheads, and minimizes red, inflamed acne lesions.

Key Benefits:

Combats acne-causing bacteria, helping to prevent breakouts and reduce active acne symptoms.
Unclogs pores and decreases oiliness, resulting in fewer blackheads and whiteheads.
Reduces inflammation, helping to calm red, swollen acne lesions for a clearer complexion.
Targets both inflamed and non-inflamed acne lesions for overall improved skin texture and clarity.

Dosage & Usage:

Duac Gel 3%: Apply a thin layer to the affected area once daily in the evening, on clean, dry skin, or as directed by your clinician.

Duration:

Visible improvement may be noticeable within a few weeks, with best results typically achieved after consistent use over 8–12 weeks. If you're uncertain about the right treatment for you, you can complete the consultation form and if the treatment you have selected is unsuitable, we will suggest a more appropriate or effective treatment. Alternatively, you can complete our Express Consultation Form where a specialist dermatology clinician will assess your skin condition and promptly get back to you with a diagnosis and personalised suggestions for treatment.

By starting a consultation where a prescription-only medication may be prescribed, you agree that you have first read the relevant condition page and have a balanced overview of all the different treatments available. You agree the final decision to prescribe any suitable treatments is at the discretion of the prescriber following your consultation.

Choosing the Right Acne Treatment

If you need a diagnosis, you can use our Express Consultation Form

Understanding that the cause and severity of acne varies among individuals is essential. Hence, the optimal treatment might differ for each person. Below is a list of alternative treatments:

Over-the-Counter (OTC) Options:

Salicylic Acid Products: Useful for unclogging pores. Available as cleansers, toners, and spot treatments.
Benzoyl Peroxide: A popular ingredient in many OTC acne products. It helps reduce acne-causing bacteria and can mitigate inflammation.
Alpha Hydroxy Acids: Effective in removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores.
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser: A formula that's friendly to all skin types, helping eliminate excess oil without causing dryness.
Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion: Offers hydration suitable for all skin types.
Aveeno Cream and Lotion: Enriched with colloidal oatmeal, renowned for its calming properties.

Prescription Products:

Differin 0.1% Gel and Cream: Contains adapalene, a kind of retinoid, known for its pore-unclogging and anti-inflammatory properties.
Duac Gel (3% & 5%): Features benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin, an antibiotic effective in curbing bacteria growth.
Skinoren 20% Cream: Packed with azelaic acid, which showcases anti-inflammatory and comedolytic properties.
Oral Antibiotics: Examples include Doxycycline, Oxytetracycline, and Minocycline. They work by reducing bacteria and inflammation.
Oral Contraceptives: Like Dianette and Eloine, they can manage hormones that trigger acne in females.
Spironolactone: Originally designed for high blood pressure treatment, but it can also address acne in women by counteracting the effects of androgens on the skin.
