Acne is a disorder of the sebaceous glands common in adolescence, associated with the increase of sex hormones both in males and females.

When there is an imbalance of hormones, the sebaceous gland in the skin increases in size and secretes extra sebum, this excess oil is the root of the trouble.

 

The sebum makes the skin surface oily which interferes with the pH balance of the skin encouraging the growth of bacteria that blocks and plugs the oil glands. The oil then becomes trapped within the ducts leading from the sebaceous gland to the surface of the skin where it mixes with accumulated dead skin cells and bacteria to form a plug or blackhead
