Alpha Hydroxy Acids (ahas) Overview

Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) are natural acids found in foods like citrus fruits, sugarcane, sour milk, apples, and grapes. They are used in cosmetics and diet supplements, with some taken orally, intravaginally, or by inhalation. In dermatology, AHAs may help combat hyperkeratinization, any have been used to treat acne, dry skin, and photo-aging by exfoliating dead skin cells. Smaller AHAs like glycolic acid penetrate the skin more deeply. They reduce the stratum corneum's thickness, improving flexibility, possibly by interfering with enzymes. Studies show AHAs, especially in combination with intense pulsed light therapy, effectively treat acne. Some AHAs like tartaric acid are more relevant for gastrointestinal and respiratory health, while others like malic acid are used for saliva production and blood pressure control. It's important to consider each AHA individually for its specific effects.
