Pros

  • What i see is the number of lesions has significant decreased, and your current lesions are a lot less inflamed.
  • Duac is pretty solid choice since it has both clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide, which helps prevent the resistance issues that can happen with clindamycin alone.
  • My skin had a very bad flareup after coming off of birth control and the doctor prescribed duac, I’ve been using it everyday for a week on top of hyaluronic acid and Nivea soft (after it’s dried for 30 mins) so this is your sign to try it!!
  • Duac (or any other clindamycin topical) has basically eliminated that patchy red irritation, the flare ups I'd get from temperature and consuming certain foods and also eliminated the actual acne I'd get associated with my condition.

Yupp, I got hyperpigmentation around my mouth on Duac because it was drying the area out and making it irritated. If you’re using it every night and it’s too much for your skin, OP, you can reduce it down to every other night and see how that feels. Good news is the hyperpigmentation went away pretty quickly after I stopped using it!
