Ingredients FAQs How does Duac gel work? Duac gel combines clindamycin phosphate (1%) and benzoyl peroxide (3%) to target acne in two ways. Clindamycin acts as an antibiotic, inhibiting acne-causing bacteria, while benzoyl peroxide breaks down blackheads and whiteheads, reducing acne and inflammation. Is Duac gel effective? Duac gel's dual-action formula can effectively treat acne. Results may take 2-6 weeks to show, and it's recommended not to use it for more than 12 weeks continuously. Are there any side effects of Duac gel? Possible side effects include peeling, itching, dryness, and redness, especially initially. Duac gel also increases skin sensitivity to sunlight, so minimise sun exposure and avoid sunbeds. Is it safe to use Duac gel during pregnancy or breastfeeding? Avoid using Duac gel if pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy. Will Duac gel interact with other medications? Duac gel should not be used simultaneously with products containing erythromycin, tretinoin, isotretinoin, or tazarotene, whether applied topically or taken orally.FAQs
