What is Effaclar Duo?
Effaclar Duo is an over-the-counter spot gel to help treat and reduce facial acne. The active ingredients in Effaclar Duo are benzoyl peroxide and lipohydroxy acid.
Benzoyl peroxide is a widely used ingredient in over-the-counter and prescription acne medications. Benzoyl peroxide kills some of the bacteria that cause acne by increasing the amount of oxygen, toxic to the bacteria, in the skin. Benzoyl peroxide also opens pores, reduces skin swelling, and softens the outer layers of skin, making them easier to peel or rub off.
Lipohydroxy acid is another popular ingredient in acne and skin-care products that breaks down the connections between skin cells, allowing the outer surface of the skin to peel or rub off.
Benzoyl peroxide dries the skin. For this reason, Effaclar Duo also includes glycerin, a skin moisturizer that works by drawing moisture from the lower skin tissues to the outer layers of the skin.
As with any acne remedy, always wash and dry the affected area before applying Effaclar Duo. Apply Effaclar Duo sparingly only once or twice a day.
What are the side effects of Effaclar Duo?
The active ingredients in Effaclar Duo produce few side effects, the most common being site reactions, such as skin irritation, burning, stinging, dry skin, peeling, flaking, redness, or allergic reactions, such as itchiness, rash, and swelling. You should discontinue Effaclar Duo if you experience any allergic reactions or if site reactions last too long.
