What the science says
Salicylic acid has some evidence of helping clear acne, with most studies finding it reduced pimples, blackheads and whiteheads 1. In comparisons, it often worked about as well as other common acne treatments, and when used alongside other treatments it sometimes contributed to clearer skin than those treatments alone 1. Side effect results were uncertain when compared with benzoyl peroxide, so the evidence on how well it is tolerated is unclear 1.
