will ibuprofen or acetaminophen (in tylenol) work the same way?

no, it has to be plain generic aspirin tablets. go to your local pharmacy and look for a clear bottle with white aspirin tablets, as cheap as possible.

Do not use ibuprofen or acetaminophen, they are not the same chemical as aspirin. Aspirin is atesalicylic acid, which is pretty much about the same as salicylic acid but in buffered form and this is why the aspirin works.

You can can also use it on your body as well, its up to you if you would like to put moisturizer, I guess since it can be drying that it would be a good idea.
