Simply put, acne is caused by turnover of skin cells called keratin. Turnover of skin cells that do not fit will cause the cells and pore clogging oil glands that will capture the protein and sebum (the skin's natural oils) under the skin. Protein and oil it becomes food for P.acnes, the bacteria that cause acne.
