Is it normal not to have acne during teenage?

I am a guy in mid 20's and I suddenly remember I NEVER had acne problem during teenage or till now. Is this normal? is this something to worry about?

    Acne is largely hereditary and hormonal, if you didn't get it ever you should get on your knees and thank God!
    :D

    You probably just have naturally low levels of testosterone, you will probably never go bald.

    YOU LUCKY BASTARD!!! or maybe not. . . this may be like with chicken pox, if u dont have it wen ur younger it can be a serious problem. or maybe you did have acne, you just never noticed it or it just wasnt that bad. some people when they get older have skewed memories of when they were young. many bullies (if they are lucky enough to be a nicer person when they grow up) meet the people they used to bully and remember being friends instead of what really happened.

    I don't think it is because he has dry skin.. Dry skin can actually cause acne.
    I had normal skin as a teenage girl and never had a single zit. Now that I'm 31 I get one once in a long while but that's it. We are all just different.

    Where did you grow up?

    What was your diet like?

    Did your town have very low levels of water and air pollution?

    Yeah, I agree with Christine... I too have NEVER had problems with acne all through my teens. I'm 20 years old now and I still don't have problems at all (a pimple here or there every once and a while, but that's it). However, my skin IS really dry and I have to keep it moisturized in the winter or else my face gets all flaky. It's nasty and it sucks. So, either you have oily skin or you have dry skin. Both of them have their ups and downs. I will probably have more wrinkles when I get older, but oh well... Nothing I can do about it except accept it as it is right?

    Lucky! It is probobly because you had dry skin. The bad news is that as you age your skin may be more prone to wrinkles than people with normal- oily skin.
