Acne is caused by the sebaceous gland that is responsible for producing oils. The skin become sensitive to the hormones called testosterone in the blood. This hormone is present in both men and women, which causes the production of excess oil in the skin. Excess oil production and dead skin cells on the skin clogs the follicles. This results in the formation of blackheads and whiteheads.
