I have good skin texture, it's pretty smooth. Since I have hormonal acne, I go in stages where my skin is beautiful but then I get 2-3 pimples that leaves dark spots and it takes a few months before they go away. I have Black skin and currently use Retin A and a Benzoyl Peroxide cleaner and Lactic peels or Glycolic peels on occasion. I was thinking of replacing the Glycolic peel with Salicylic acid to prevent acne and brighten skin tone and getting rid of dark spots.

Answer: Salicylic acid peels to brighten skin Salicylic acid peels can be an excellent choice for acne and brown blemishes associated with acne. Salicylic acid is supposed to be more attracted to the oily hair follicles (pores) where acne starts v. glycolic acid. Salicylic acid peels are particularly helpful in treating uneven skin tone and as considered to be one of the safer chemical peels on brown skin.

Answer: Salicylic Acid and Skin Tone Salicylic Acid is great for helping manage breakouts. There are many chemical peels that are blends of acids, which may be beneficial for your skin. If you are experiencing regular breakouts, but only getting treatments on occasion, you may want to consider getting on a routine treatment plan. The less breakouts that occur, the less post inflammatory hyperpigmentation you will see. This can help get you on the path to maintenance and prevention, instead of focusing on correction.
