Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are a class of water-soluble acids derived from natural sources such as sugar cane, milk, and fruits. They exfoliate the skin by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, improving texture, brightening uneven tone, and stimulating collagen production. Common AHAs include glycolic, lactic, mandelic, and malic acids.
