Reasons of Acne:

Propionibacterium acnes invading the pilosebaceous glands.

Acne severity is related to sebum excretion rate; this rises at puberty. 

Although the hormonal effects may also reflect end-organ sensitivity, most patients have normal hormone profiles so both androgens and progestogens increase sebum excretion and lower it.

Although monozygotic twins show great concordance and it is possible that genetic variables are significant in certain families, candidate genes have not been validated.
