Question: What is the REAL cause of acne?
I’ve read so many different things everywhere.. Here are some examples..

“The main reason for the cause of acne is the deficiency of essential vitamins needed for the skin. Deficiency in Vitamin A, Vitamin E and Pantothenic Acid can lead to acne. ”

“Family/Genetic history. The tendency to develop acne runs in families. For example, school-age boys with acne often have other members in their family with acne as well. A family history of acne is associated with an previously occurrence of acne and an increased number of retentional acne lesions.”

Hormonal over activity, stress, over production from the sebaceous gland.

I just want to know the real reason.. I’ve also asked my dermatologist but didn’t really get a good enough answer.
