"using duac once daily (10mg + 50mg gel) cream. at age 44 i started to get acne. reading previous reviews i was cautious about this cream but the results are great. you have to use this sparingly - no matter how tempting it is to put loads on if your skin is bad. it took a week before my skin cleared up. in the evening i spread a tiny amount on the t zone area and it&#039;s enough to keep spots away. if my skin starts looking red or dry i will skip a night of not putting the cream on that area. yes, my skin will look a little shiney the next day from the oils but i don&#039;t get spots and it allows my skin to recover. i would recommend you exfoliate once a week to remove dead, dry skin too. i will continue to use this cream until my skin calms down."
