Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid derived from the sugar cane plant acts as a keratolytic (removes top layers of skin) agent and opens clogged pores. It has been shown in clinical studies to improve acne and the hyperpigmentation that is present with acne. Start with the lower strength (2.5% or 5%) preparations first. Strengths above 5% may be irritating. A gel is usually more drying and stronger than a lotion or a cream.

Natural fruit acids (alpha hydroxy acids or AHAs) rejuvenate the skin by encouraging the shedding of old, sun-damaged surface skin cells. Glycolic acid is the alpha hydroxy acid most frequently used for facial treatments but lactic and citric acid are also useful. Of course, lactic acid doesn't come from fruit - it comes from milk.
