"i never really had acne but around 2 years ago, i started to get pimples on my hairline but nothing too serious. i went to the doctor and he prescribed me duac. though my pimples cleared away, my skin got extremely dry, to the point where i was so embarrassed to go anywhere cos my skin was so flaky and dry. i was so upset because it just didn&#039;t go away. after about an year, i went to the dermatologist and he prescribed me this this cream called &#039;elidel&#039; (prescription only), which basically saved my life, after about a couple months my skin was much better. so after multiple visits to the doctor and almost 2 years later, my skin is finally close to how it used to be. so in short be careful when you use duac, but i would recommend never using"
