Acne happens when the pores in your skin get clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Hormones—especially changes in testosterone—play a big role, which is why breakouts tend to show up during certain stages of life. When pores get blocked, you can end up with whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, and all those other annoying bumps most of us have dealt with at some point.Even though acne is super common in teenagers, adults can definitely get it too, including people well into middle age
