Salicylic acid is used to treat acne, as has been correctly stated already. However! Salicylic acid is NOT aspirin. Aspirin's proper chemical name is Acetylsalicylic acid. They are related, but NOT the same thing. I would not recommend taking salicylic acid for a headache; you'll only irritate your throat if you try that.

Salicylic acid is used in many common anti-acne treatments. Usually the concentration is only about 2% in topical face washes and gels. Anything more than 5% can really shrink some major sores.
