A member asked:
Just wondering why do teens tend to get such oily skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Increased hormones: Puberty is associated with increased androgen production from the adrenal glands and, in males, the testes. These hormones are the major cause of increased sebum production, and therefore of acne.
