Duac 5% and 1% 30g
Duac Once Daily Gel is a topical prescription treatment designed to target the main causes of acne. It combines two active ingredients: clindamycin (1%), an antibiotic that reduces acne-causing bacteria, and benzoyl peroxide (5%), which helps to kill bacteria and reduce excess oil while preventing blocked pores.
This dual-action formula works to reduce inflammation, clear existing spots, and help prevent new breakouts from forming. Duac is commonly prescribed for mild to moderate inflammatory acne and can help improve overall skin clarity with consistent use.

Go back & get started
- Completely remove any make-up.
- Wash the affected area of skin well. Then rinse with warm water and gently pat dry.
- Put a thin film of gel on the entire area of affected skin, using your fingertips.
- Apply to all of the areas of your skin which have acne, not just to the individual spots. If the gel does not rub into your skin easily, you are using too much.
- For your face only, use an amount of gel from the tube which reaches from the tip of your finger to the first joint (the first crease on your finger). This is a ‘finger tip’.
- For your face and back, use two and a half ‘finger tips’ in total.
- If you get a lot of dryness or skin peeling, you can use an oil-free, fragrance free, hypoallergenic moisturiser, use DUAC ONCE DAILY GEL less frequently or stop treatment for a short period, to allow your skin to adjust to the treatment. This medicine may not work properly if it is not applied every day.
- Wash your hands after using the gel.
