Is it true that Icy Hot removes acne?

Well, Icy Hot's main ingredient is methyl salicylate, which contains salicylic acid (which is a very effective againts acne) but is not in its purest form. It may work but I'm not entirely sure. Maybe someone else, like a dermatologist, can give you a precise diagnostic. This is unlikely to be effective, other than the astringent value of the vehicle itself. Best choices are still benzoyl peroxide preparations.
