"i have been using duac gel for 9 days now and my advice to anyone would be to persevere. i have very sensitive skin so was expecting some sort of reaction to the gel. after day 3 my skin was so red and sore. i moisturised throughout the day and this has really helped the patches of dry skin. on day 4 i only applied the gel for an hour and the next night didn&#039;t apply it to the worst area. now on day 9 the redness has completely gone and my skin looks better than it has in years, i am so happy that i didn&#039;t give up on day 3 and that is mainly because of the reviews below. there is a chance that it will be painful that first week but don&#039;t give up! will provide another review once i have used it for 2 months - can&#039;t wait to see the changes!"
