For any topical compound to be effective, including Alpha Hydroxy Acid, it must penetrate into the skinwhere it can act on living cells. Bioavailabilityis an important factor in a compound's ability to penetrate the top layer of the skin.
Glycolic acid, having the smallest molecular size,is the Alpha Hydroxy Acid with greatest bioavailabilityand penetrates the skin most easily; this largely accounts.
