It belongs to the group of acids known as alpha-hydroxy acids. Scientists have found that frequent, properly applied use of alpha-hydroxy acids produces deep, noticeable effects, benefiting the look of the skin from the very first application. Alpha-hydroxy acids are plant-derived organic compounds found in the juices of many fruits, and cosmetically the most important member of this group is glycolic acid. This acid is found in sugarcane juice, has the smallest molecular size of all alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and is considered by many researchers to offer the greatest possibilities for cosmetic formulations. Glycolic acid works by loosening the bonds between cells in the stratum corneum, facilitating a microscopic exfoliation process; it produces an imperceptible, gentle "peeling," unlike other peels where the skin flakes off in thin layers through mechanical action.
