"i am a 16 year old girl and i have mild-moderate acne in my t zone. when i first started using duac cream, the first couple weeks were awful. my skin was dry and flakey, it felt tight, and it was red raw. it was very painful when i applied the cream at night and was very hard to even get to sleep. also, i couldn&#039;t cover up my acne with makeup because my skin was too dry! i was feeling really low and upset. but i thought i would carry on using it just incase i start to see an improvement. and thankyou i did, after about the first 2 weeks my skin starting clearing up. my forehead especially, i had lots of little red pimples and the majority of them cleared as well as the rest of my face. it got a lot less dry and the redness faded."
