No more Benzamycin Gel is being made in the UK till April, Doc
prescribed Duac in the meantime. Is it any good?

Even though I tried to keep it away from my neck Duac ruined too many of
my blouses (by bleaching) for me to keep using it...

I had some great, although temporary, results with Duac: it gave me
exactly one year of perfectly clear skin. After that, it lost its oomph
and I started to break out again.

I used Benzamycin back in the early 90s. Duac seemed to work better.
Plus, Duac doesn't need to be refridgerated.

moderate/severe and Benzamycin is the only thing thats ever worked for
me. Im tempted to order some in from the States or Canada untill they
start making it again in April.

By the time I started using it in late 2002, I was getting one or two
very red and messy pustules every 10 days, and maybe something that
looked like a cyst (very big and red, looked deep but wasn't) about
once per month.

I used Benzamycin in conjunction with oral Bactrim DS back in 1990 and
it didn't work as well as the Duac. On the other hand, the things that
looked like cysts really were cysts back then.
