Hundreds of over-the-counter and prescription acne treatments are available. Almost all of them are one-size-fits-all and that’s the reason most of them don’t work. Everyone’s acne problems and skin are different. Therefore, a customized treatment is necessary to win the battle against acne.

What is skinID?

This month’s issue of Vogue includes a refreshingly candid, practical article about acne in adult women. The writer, 41-year-old former MTV2 veejay and Rolling Stone contributing editor Jancee Dunn, recounts the time she had a zit so prominent that the production staff scrambled to camouflage it before an interview with U2’s Bono. Her experience may have been especially embarrassing because she was on television, but many of us can relate. After all, our zits sometimes take center stage in our own lives.

Thankfully, new technologies to prevent and treat acne are being developed all the time. And some of them actually work. Dunn says she spent several months trying all sorts of products and a new, FDA-approved laser treatment called Isolaz that she raves about. Her personal picks:

• Dr. Patricia Wexler’s anti-acne products (available at Bath & Body Works stores or online at www.bathandbodyworks.com)
• Murad’s Acne Regimen (available at most higher-end beauty stores and Web sites, or directly from www.murad.com; the site touts a 60-day money-back guarantee)
• Zeno, a palm-sized device with a heated tip that you press directly on the pimple (can be purchased at most drug stores, at beauty websites, or directly from the manufacturer at www.zeno.com)

Preventing and controlling breakouts — and, for those of us in our 30s, combating wrinkles as well — can be a frustrating and expensive balancing act. What works for some may not work for others. For that reason, I try to get samples of new products from a local skin care store, and I ask my esthetician for advice and updates on industry developments. I also read the customer reviews on skin care stores’ websites before blindly purchasing any product.

What about you? Do you have occasional or regular acne? What skin care products work for your skin?
