Brief Answer:
Eating greasy food doesn't cause acne

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic.
Eating greasy food doesn't lead to acne.
Diet as such doesnot have a major role in causation of acne.
It has been seen that eating food with low glycemic index that is those which lead to slow release of sugar in the body are beneficial in acne vulgaris.
I hope to have answered your query.
