Alpha Hydroxy Acid

Alpha Hydroxy Acid

They are often found in products claiming to reduce wrinkles or the signs of aging and improve the overall look and feel of the skin. They are also used as chemical peels available in a dermatologist’s office, beauty and health spas, and home kits, which usually contain a lower concentration. Although their effectiveness is documented numerous cosmetic products have appeared on the market with unfounded claims of performance. Many well-known α-hydroxy acids are useful building blocks in organic synthesis: the most common and simple are glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, mandelic acid.

Exfoliating with AHAs can help loosen and remove the clog. Continued use may also prevent future clogs from forming. AHAs may also reduce the size of enlarged pores, which are commonly seen in acne-prone skin.

AHAs are water-soluble acids made from sugary fruits. They help peel away the surface of your skin so that new, more evenly pigmented skin cells may generate and take their place
