Clindamycin is an antibiotic which stops the bacteria that cause acne. Benzoyl Peroxide kills these bacteria too, but also breaks down blackheads and whiteheads reducing acne and inflammation across the affected area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIs Duac gel effective?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of the two active ingredients in Duac gel can make it an effective treatment for acne. It can take 2-6 weeks before you start to see any effect of the acne treatment, but it should not be used for more than 12 weeks at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAre there any side effects of Duac gel?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a chance that using Duac gel you may experience side effects such as peeling, itching, dry skin and redness, particularly when you first begin to apply the gel.
