You probably often wonder whether everyone gets acne. The truth is, people of all races and ages get acne. Acne is the most common in teenagers and young adults. 80% of all people get acne outbreaks between the age of 11 and 30. But some people get it even in their 40s and 50s. Most acne tends to go away when people reach their 30s.

There are also many myths about acne causes such as greasy foods. But the truth is, there’s hardly any evidence that shows greasy foods causing acne.  Stress and dirt are also commonly cited as acne causes. They can make it worse, but not causing you to have acne.

Acne is a skin disorder resulting from the action of hormones and other substances on the skin’s oil glands and hair follicles. When these happen, your pores become plugged and lesions outbreak.
