How do the Glycolic and salicylic acid peels compare?

Comparing the Salicylic and Glycolic acids can be difficult, as the results each acid has on skin varies from individual to individual.

However, in general Salicylic acid is more effective than glycolic acid, and less harsh on the skin. The reason for this is a small amount of the salicylic acid is converted into copper salicylate which acts as an anti-inflammatory, allowing for a much higher tolerance.

In one study comparing a 1.5 percent Salicylic Acid product and an 8+ percent glycolic acid product, the Salicylic Acid product was shown to be a more effective exfoliant.
