When you picture a typical acne sufferer, do you visualise spotty teenagers with oily skin and greasy hair? Well you’d be right, because acne affects around 85% of teenagers, affecting more boys than girls. This is due to the over-activity of the sebaceous glands that secret oil on the skin during puberty. During adolescence there is a sharp increase in the production of androgens in the body which stimulate the sebaceous glands. It’s for this reason that acne tends to affect more teenagers than adults.
