What is the difference between salicylic acid and fruit acids?

In terms of function, salicylic acid and fruit acids are the same, improving the surface of the skin by dissolving the stratum corneum, thus promoting the skin's own metabolism and acting on the epidermis of the skin.
The difference is that AHA fruit acids are water soluble, while BHA salicylic acid is fat soluble. Salicylic acid penetrates more easily into the oil-filled pores and removes the aged keratinocytes from the pores, which is why it is more commonly used to improve the appearance of blackheads and acne.
