When you're well beyond your zit-filled, teenage years, acne is downright embarrassing.

Thankfully, Olay understands your frustration and has designed a new line, Olay Professional Pro-X Clear, that addresses the skin care needs of women over 18. The Acne Protocol kit ($42) includes a clarifying cleanser, clearing treatment and renewing lotion that works to zero in on pimples and reduce the appearance of enlarged pores.

While spot treatment is a popular way to address blemishes, New York City-based dermatologist Dr. Diane Berson, recommends treating the entire infected area to prevent future breakouts and hyperpigmentation.

She adds, "Don't go and chase a pimple because you will ignore what's brewing next door."

Dr. Berson encourages her clients to use this 3-step daily system because traditional over-the-counter acne medications are for adolescent skin, which tends to be much more oily. With it's non-comedogenic and oil-free formula, Olay Pro-X Clear's regimen treats acne withstanding "barrier issues that arise when getting older" like slower skin turnover, hormonal fluctuations and aged appearance.
