Hi, I’ve used Duac Topical Gel (1% Clindamyacin, 5% Benzoyl Peroxide) for acne with lots of success. However, I was hoping to find an over-the-counter treatment that works similarly. I would be happy with a product that had only 5% Benzoyl Peroxide, if one can’t get Clindamyacin over-the-counter. Any suggestions? I have rosacea-prone skin, so I need something gentle on the skin (that’s why I can’t use 10% BP). The only rub is that I live in Germany, and so I was hoping someone had a recommendation for something I can find in a German drugstore (e.g. Rossman’s) or an Apotheke (without a prescription). Thanks!

Have you tried accutane? Talk to your doctor about it. Several years ago, was going through similar problems. My skin was so oily I could lube my bike chain with the excess. Once I started using accutane, it dried my skin up and kept it clear for years… The only side effects I had were dry lips. You have to go in every month for blood tests to check liver function and cholesterol levels but if you’re a healthy guy, you shouldn’t have any problems….just ask the doc. I was never able to see any progress with topical creams, lotions, foams, whatever…even antibiotics only helped while I was still on them. The accutane however, took 5 months and cleared my skin completely for several years.
Good luck!
ACNE SUCKS!

First U have to know how acne came or landed on your face?? If U are ages form 18 onwards u need this ritual,,,,,!!
- Begin with knowing what is your diet daily?
- have u had bowel movements daily & properly with ease ?
- when was the last time U had any worm treatment if u ever
ever had any at all from kids days?
- do U eat a lot of vegetables & fresh fruits?
- do U drink lots of water at least every 1 hour a half glass to
one full glass?
- are U exposed to dusty places at home or at work or any
where U go?
- Do U scrub your face each time U come back from where
ever U have been ?
SOON AFTER U HAVE BRUSHED YOUR TEETH U CAN HAVE A GLASS OF WATER ROOM TEMERATURE COLD. THIS IS A MUST EVERYDAY BEFORE U HAVE UR BREAKFAST.
NOW how U can get rid of acne from appearing on ur face or body. Each day when U start your day the breakfast meal is vital that it makes up of cereal, or oatmeal porridge, or toast & a nice glass of milk, or hot tea (hot drinks like teas help wash down oily foods & makes the stomach feel “queezie” enough to warrant going to the toilet too) . DONT FORGET A SLICE OF PAPAYA IS THE BEST OR A BANANA .
AT lunch time U have perhaps a light lunch of cold chicken salad, or wholemeal sandwiches with tuna, or cheese or macaroni salad, potato salad,,,to name u some. Then have a banana if U not too fat a person because it is not going to help U reduce if U eat “fatty foods”. The right combination is if U drink milk then u dont need the banana, but if U are slim & can afford this then its okay. A GLASS OF WATER DONT FORGET.
After 3 hours U can have a cup of tea with a piece of small pastry , around 5pm . At least 2 hours later U can have your dinner of vegetables, steamed fish , & maybe a plate of taufoo cooked with sauce. Some rice to accompany this meal.
- Tomorrow U can have PITA BREAD for dinner with some roast chicken filling & salad filled & a bowl of pumpkin soup.
- The the next day U can have spaghetti bolognaise for dinner as a change too.
Dont for get the water each time & this helps cleanse your system & rid toxins U have accumulated from eating all sorts of foods that caused your system to react,,,,,through signs ,,,,,in PIMPLES SURFACING.
Pimples can appear in the eye lids to that is known as “STY in the EYE” . Soon as U notice your eyelid itching or U see a “small pimple” coming out,,, U go reach out for ENO’S FRUIT SALT . U can go to a pharmacy to get this & keep handy in the pantry. This helps to ease congested feelign in the stomach or gas build up.
Also it is time to go on a worm treatment,,,,go get ZANTEL, or COMBANTRIN (comes in tablets & u take 6 tabs. at 1 time ) U will probaly see dead hook worms coming out too.)
Another thing that helps clear your system is PHYTO FIBRE ,( sold in packs. This I gurantee will get rid of ALL THE GUNK YOU HAVE ACCUMULATED FOR DAYS & WEEKS WITHOUT YOU REALISING IT. YOU WILL BE GOING TO THE TOILET AT LEAST FEW TIMES THE ENTIRE DAY & DONT U STOP IT COZ U ARE TO GET RID OF ALL THE GARBAGE U HAVE STORED IN YOUR LARGE INTESTINE & YOUR BODY ODOUR IS BECOMING UNBEARABLE TOO.
Care for ur face. Get a St Ives APRICOT SCRUB. RUB ALL OVER THE FACE & spend at least 3 minutes massaging & rinse using a face towel to clean off & running water. U will feel the difference after u have done this. reapeat alternate days. If U are in some village & cannot get this U can use coarse sugar as a scrub,,,it works wonders too & u will see a nice clean shiny face.
Each time U go out ur hands gather dirt & dust which is unseen to the naked eye so dont touch your face & if U have to use a tissue to wipe & not ur dirty unwashed bare hands,
Your face pores are opened in the heat or humid weather so U have to wash your face at least 2x a day with water & soap.
I ma sure after all tis U will have a nice clean healthy system that will not display pimples anymore .
DONT SLACK BUT DO IT RELEGEOUSLY

Acnezine,
has 2% Benzoyl, but the power is in the pills. And it doesn’t require a prescription.http://www.acnezine.com/?aid=407758

I would recommend you going to a Doctor to get a prescription… Especially for your facial skin.
