| Benzclin is a combination of benzoyl peroxide and an antibiotic available by prescription only. The combination is supposed to hit the p.acnes bacteria with a double whammy. |

| It is a very effective topical acne treatment. It is a combination of Benzoyl peroxide and a topical antibiotic clindamycin. In the US, you need a RX for it. |

Thanks for the heads-up. I've heard these terms before, but wasn't sure what they were used for. I got rid of my acne problem years ago with accutane. Yikes!!. But back in the day, who knew? I suffer from sun sensitivity now.  |

i LOVE this product!!!! non-drying, compliments retin-a.
the diff. between it and duac is that Duac comes "premixed" in a tube. benzaclin is mixed when you pick up at the pharmacy, so it's fresher...i think it's more potent than duac, but both are great! |
