Lucky you: I'm sixteen and i don't get acne like my peers. Is this common? Most teenagers get at least mild acne. It can be caused by hormonal changes starting at puberty. Nutritional deficiencies are often found in teenagers with acne specifically sink folate (folic acid) and copper. Other teenagers have overly active sebum glands. There are many other causes for acne in teenagers. You are lucky not to be among those. A.
