Why do some people have really serious acne problems while others are barely touched?

Like, I've never had an acne problem. Never more than a pimple or two on my face, for which I am very glad. And I'm 16! But then I see some guys at school with their face covered in pimples. And most people just fall in between, with enough pimples on their face. What determines how bad your acne is? I know it has to do with hormones and puberty, but do your hormones directly influence the level of acne?
Oh yes I do consider myself lucky, I keep wondering when my luck will run out!

I had acne all my life, it is mostly under contol now, with the occasional pimple. I'm now left with scarring, its not terrible, but it is noticable as well as large pores. I want to know the best way of getting rid of them completely. I've tried IPL which helped but didnt completely remove the scars. Please can someone help- my sanity depends on you! Thank you!
P.s I dont need to know how to treat the acne- i've done this! Just need to know about getting rid of the scars!
