Glycolic acid is not any chemical as the name indicates. It is a natural fruit acid or alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA) just like our lemon juice (citric acid) .To state its properties it is colorless and odorless and easily soluble in water. Concentration of above 10% would be a hazardous on skin. In skin treatment, it is mainly used as an exfoliant and moisturizer. It is used for the treatment of eczema and acne. It can also used to reduce wrinkles and hyper-pigmentation. It peels out dead skin cells

For aged persons this would be of great help. Products with this glycolic acid would remove dead cells on skin that keeps you more aged. It acts as good sunscreen and moisturizes skin. One must be careful about its concentration. It is as powerful to remove rust form metals. Hence, concentration of low glycolic acid must alone be used in the skin care kit either prepared at home or bought readymade.

Storage of the products made with glycolic acid and application of such products are also very important. The action would be very severing in young children. In addition to exfoliation, the AHA's rejuvenate skin by,
