Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) are acids found in foods like fruits, milk, sugar cane, and other foods. AHAs are chemical peels that remove the top layer of skin cells, thereby improving the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid derived from sugar. Results of these peels may be more pronounced when used around the skin of the eyes. AHAs are good for crows’ feet. Side effects of these peels are minimal. They may cause temporary redness, irritation, and increased sensitivity to the sun.
