Fruit acids are natural, organic acids found in foods such as milk, fruit or, in the case of Glycolic acid, sugar cane. Glycolic acid is water-soluble and consists of small molecules. This allows it to penetrate deeper into the skin, but can also irritate more quickly. Glycolic acid is therefore not recommended for sensitive skin. For dry, mature skin it is very suitable.
