Common conclusions

Salicylic acid is best for acne. Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid and it is well-known for eliminating acne by exfoliating the skin and leaving pores clear. If you are using a cream, lotion, solution, or gel, apply a thin film of the drug to the areas of your skin damaged by acne, usually 1 to 2 times a day. You should not use salicylic acid with any other acid at the same time, because extreme skin irritation may occur when mixed.

You should start using the Kojic acid. It is produced by bacteria used in the fermentation of rice for the production of sake and it is a popular ingredient in Asian skin care products thanks to its whitening properties. Kojic’s acid primary benefit is to lighten visible sun damage, age spots, or scars.

You should use acids.

If your skin is inflamed, cracked, or flaking you should not use acids. When skin is cracking or flaking, the facial skin is open, which means products that would normally be well-tolerated could irritate skin.
