Duac gel is an antibiotic gel for adults and adolescents aged 12 years and above. It’s an effective treatment for mild to moderate acne.
It can be used to treat mild acne vulgaris and inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions anywhere externally on the body, but you should avoid contact with the mouth, eyes, lips and broken or irritated skin. Duac gel works by application to the skin once a day in the evening.
Acne is caused by an overproduction of chemicals which clog the pores and create blackheads. Duac gel works simply by killing off the bacteria which causes acne.
Duac gel contains two active ingredients: Clindamycin (an antibiotic) and Benzoyl Peroxide. The active ingredient Clindamycin is a topical antibiotic which helps to prevent acne by killing off the bacteria that feeds on the sebum produced by the skins’ sebaceous glands.
The second active ingredient, benzoyl peroxide, is a keratolytic - an agent that breaks down the top layer of the skin to reduce blackheads and whiteheads, and prevents further breakouts. The combination of clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide is a proven and effective way to actively treat moderately severe acne.
There are two doses of Duac gel that you can use: the 10 mg/g + 30 mg/g gel and the 10mg/g + 50mg/g gel. The difference between the two is simple: although both doses include 10mg/g of clindamycin, it’s only the concentration of benzoyl peroxide that changes. The decision to use a higher dosage will depend on the severity of your acne, but one of our clinicians will be able to talk you through this decision.
