OUTSIDE HELP: MIRACLE CURES

Types of Products Available - Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs)

One of the more recently re-discovered ageless treatments for skin are alpha hydroxy acids. They aren't new however. Cleopatra was known to bath in lactic acid (sour milk) to improve her complexion! And Queen Elizabeth of Hungary was known to wash her face with wine back in the 1800s.

Nowadays you see AHAs added to every type of skin care product: moisturizer, toner, masks, cleansers, etc. AHA ingredients may be listed as:

  • Glycolic acid (from cane sugar)
  • Lactic Acid (from milk)
  • Malic Acid (from apples and pears)
  • Citric acid (from citrus fruits like oranges and lemons)
  • Glycolic acid +ammonium glycolate
  • Alpha-hydroxyethanoic acid
  • Alpha-hydroxyoctanioic
  • Alpha-hydroxycaprylic acid
  • Hydroxycaprylic acid
  • Mixed fruit acid
  • Tartaric acid (from grapes)
  • Tri-alpha hydroxyl fruit acids
  • Triple fruit acid
  • Sugar cane extract
  • Alpha hydroxyl and botanical extract
  • L-alpha hydroxyl acid
  • Glycomer in crosslinked fatty acids alpha nutrium (3 AHAs)

    Of these, the most frequently used in cosmetics are glycolic acid and lactic acid

    AHAs and actually most of the other treatments that exfoliate or peel your skin will make you more sensitive to sunlight and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. So remember to limit your sun exposure and use a non-comedogenic sunscreen if you can't avoid the sun.
