Research Summary

Hydroxyacetic Acid, commonly known as Glycolic Acid, with the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) registry number 79-14-1, is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugarcane or other natural sources. It is a colorless, odorless, and highly water-soluble compound. Glycolic Acid is widely used in the cosmetic and skincare industry for its exfoliating properties. Due to its small molecular size, it can penetrate the skin effectively, promoting cell turnover and treating various skin concerns such as fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and acne. In addition to its role in skincare, glycolic acid has applications in chemical peels, textile dyeing, and as an ingredient in some cleaning products. When used in skincare formulations, it is important to follow recommended concentrations and usage guidelines, as excessive use can lead to skin irritation. Glycolic Acid is recognized for its role in enhancing skin texture and appearance through its exfoliating and rejuvenating effects.
