Findings

This review analyzed 49 clinical trials to see how well salicylic acid works for acne compared to other topical treatments. The abstract cuts off before sharing the actual results, so we can't tell you what the researchers concluded about salicylic acid's effectiveness, safety, or how it stacks up against alternatives.
