Puberty

Teenagers and zits, they always seem to go hand in hand, and it's a time in our life that even those of us who have never suffered from acne before (or after) experienced the symptoms of breakouts.

In fact, studies have revealed that over 94% of the entire population between the ages of 12 and 24 have suffered from acne at one time or another.

The reason why acne is so common amongst teenagers is based around the hormone, androgens, which begin to work overtime as we approach puberty.

Androgens can cause our hair follicles and skin pores to become enlarged and extremely oily and when the oil mixes with our skin cells, it can cause our pores

So your a little early, you might want to go see a doctor
