Alpha Hydroxy Acid

Alpha Hydroxy Acid

Alpha hydroxy acid is an organic acid found in many cosmetic products. AHAs are known for their exfoliating properties and are often used in anti-aging formulas as well as chemical peels. Common AHAs include glycolic (glycolique) acid, lactic (lactique) acid and citric acid. A popular foot treatment that contains alpha hydroxyl acid is AmLactin Foot Cream, often said to be a miracle cure for calluses.
