Alpha Hydroxy Acid

Alpha hydroxy acids are a group of natural acids found in multiple foods. Alpha hydroxy acids include citric acid (found in citrus fruits), glycolic acid (found in sugar cane), lactic acid (found in sour milk and tomato juice), malic acid (found in apples), tartaric acid (found in grapes), and others. Alpha hydroxy acids are most commonly used for skin conditions such as dry skin, wrinkled skin, or acne. Alpha hydroxy acids act as exfoliants, which help to get rid of the dead skin cells on your skin's surface. Daily exfoliation helps keep your complexion naturally bright by preventing a buildup of dead skin cells that dulls your skin and eliminate the natural glow.
