sebum's production.
With enough linoleic acid, the quality of

sebum you produce transforms into a sticky, hardened
sebum that almost always becomes a blackhead, a pimple or any version of a skin annoyance.

Androgens don't have to stimulate as much
sebum production anyway, if you keep your insulin levels low.
