When applied to the skin, Duac Once Daily may cause initial dryness, redness, or mild irritation. These effects are typically temporary and should subside as the skin adjusts to the treatment. Some users may experience peeling or scaling, which is a normal part of the skin's response to the active ingredients.

Duac Once Daily may interact with other topical medications, particularly those containing sulfur, resorcinol, or salicylic acid.
