Salicylic acid, any experiences? Could it work a little like glycolic acid?

Hey! Does anyone know if salicylic acid will help the same way that glycolic acid does? They're both acids and salicylic acid is exfoliating just like glycolig acid. Also, salicylic acid is used a lot when it comes to acne prodcts. Does anyone have any experience with salicylic acid? If so, please share. Does it work like glycolic acid? Has anyone experienced that salicylic acid has cleared their acne?

Before the regimen I used clean and clear spot treatment salicylic acid for a while. It worked pretty well but I never treated my entire face with it nor did I use it that much because it was very drying. From what I understand, Benzoyl Peroxide is more for mild to serious acne where salicylic acid is a good spot treatment, exfoliant, and something just to treat very mild cases of acne because it doesn't reduce sebum production or kill bacteria, only helps to unclog pores. I could be wrong though. Give it a try for your skin and see what happens.
