"i was prescribed duac after getting very bad acne after coming off the pill. this was very unusual for me as i&#039;d never had bad spots and it didn&#039;t run in my family. i found that my face was extremely oily all the time and was giving me large horribly pustule spots. 
i was given 3% duac as i was told the 5% would make the skin very dry and 1% may not work so it would be reviewed and altered to see how it went. i noticed changes immediately after 1 week and my skin has been flawless and i&#039;ve even had compliments on it!
for the people saying it made their skin too dry i could suggest maybe getting a lower % and only apply it once a day as i do at night time after washing my face. it honestly works wonders i couldn&#039;t recommend it more!"
