It's one acid in the group of compounds called salicylates.
When used in creams, acne treatments and other products, it's derived from the willow bark tree, a plant that has a number of skin-soothing effects. It's actually in the same class of drugs as aspirin (another salicylate), although it's used differently.
It appears as a colorless, odorless, crystalline organic acid.
Salicylic acid's structure allows for it to be oil-soluble, meaning it can penetrate through the oily, lipid layers of the skin. It's considered a keratolytic agent, as it's able to enter pores and clear up bacteria and oil that can lead to clogged pores, blackheads and breakouts.
It can even break tiny connections between skin cells, acting a natural exfoliant that removes dead cells, leaving the surface of the skin smoother.
