I recently heard about using aspirin as a treatment for acne, because it contains salicylic acid. If an acne treating cleanser normally contains 2% salicylic acid, then what percentage would 5 pills of aspirin diluted with a drop or two of water contain?

Aspirin is acetysalicylic acid, which is made from, but is chemically different, slightly, from salicylic acid. Aspirin contains almost no salycylic acid, having been purified through fractional crystalization and fractional distillation. The fraction of a percent given above is probably close. 5 pills of aspirin would yield some 1.5+ grams of acetysalicylic acid and almost zero salicylic acid. One or two drops of water would not get 5 pills into solution, you'd probably need some 10 or 20 ml of water at least per pill.

Aspirin, or acetylsalicylic acid (A.S.A.) (IPA: /əˌsɛtɨlsælɨˌsɪlɨk ˈæsɨd/), is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains, as an antipyretic to reduce fever, and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin IS a salicylic acid.

Yes, that is what is aspirin. Actually Salicylic acid (aspirin) is from the White Willow Tree bark. I am highly allergic to it and all derivatives.

325mgm
2% salicylic acid, then what percentage would 5 pills of aspirin diluted with a drop or two of water contain?
325 x 5 = 1625 mgm = 1.6 grams
Two Percent measn that there is 2 parts per 100
Or 2 grams per 100 ml of water or 100 gm of glycerin/vaseline
Your answer less than 2 %

Um... why don't you just buy a salicylic acid gel (clean and clear invisible blemish treatment) instead of putting aspirin, which has other things in it, on your face?

Don't use asprin.
For one, you will over dose and have adverse health effects.
two, you need salicylic acid to be applied externally instead of consuming it orally.
Try treatments like clearpores or zenmed.
