Finasteride/ hormonal levels/ age / response (Propecia, Spiro, DHT & hormones ...)

You're making too big an assumption. The most likely explanation for the lack of effect of finasteride on sebum secretion isn't that DHT doesn't have anything to do with sebum, it's that finasteride doesn't have any effect on the 5a-reuctase type 1 enzyme within the sebaceous glands.
