About Duac Once Daily

Description

Duac Once Daily Gel belongs to a group of medicines known as anti-acne preparations and contains two medicines: clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide. Used together these work by fighting the bacteria that can cause acne, treating existing blackheads, whiteheads, and spots and lowering the number of red, inflamed acne spots. Duac is used for treating mild to moderate acne on your skin.
