Hi everyone
After suffering from acne since I was a teenager and recently turning 30 I decided to head to the docs for some medication.
My skin is so awful at times that I cancel plans or call in sick at work because I feel so self conscious about it.
I was prescribed duac gel which I apply on a night. I'm on day 4 and oh my goodness, my face burns so much. Imagine the worst sunburn you've ever had but all over your face! The burning and itching is keeping me up at night and my skin is so dry (it's usually incredibly oily).
I know the above are stated side effects but wondering if anyone else has been on duac before and whether the side effects eventually ease off?! Although it's been 4 days I do definitely think it's working so I'm hoping the pain is worth it!
Never thought I would still be battling spots at 30
