deep-acne-scar-300x2911Acne in most individuals start in their teen years but at times it affects people in their 20s and 30s as well. Acne is formed when the sebaceous glands start to produce more of sebum. These causes the pores to clog, the clogged pores allow the bacteria to thrive in it causing the acne.
