Has Anyone Experienced Breaking Out Because Of Aspirin?

Hey guys,

Just wondering whether I am alone on this as I seem to always break out when using any type of aspirin based treatment. Whether it be a good old fashioned aspirin mask or putting aspirin in my toner. The next day I seem to have little pustules pop up.

For example, i put 2 aspirin in my ACV + Water (75/25) toner last night and used it. This morning I have had around 3 pustules and a few clogged pores pop up overnight. I have been somewhat in remission of my acne which is flaring up now due to me giving up smoking in January and I am looking for a way to exfoliate the clogged pores I am getting before they inflame and cause cysts (which is the severity I get). This is the typical routine for my face so i'm trying to exfoliate and stop them before they start.

I am at a loss as I am hearing fab things about aspirin (never had a problem with any SA products before) but both toner and mask cause me to break out overnight. Is there a purging process that i'm not aware of?

Note: The aspirin are uncoated.

Thanks in advance x

Aspirin is salycilic acid you goof, the same stuff that's in all the acne creams and washes

Why am I a goof exactly?

I know aspirin is SA hence why I put in my original post that I don't break out from SA usually. I was asking about aspirin specifically.
