C12-20 Acid PEG-8 ester refers to a group of compounds with varying functions in cosmetics and skincare. Some acids, like glycolic acid and lactic acid, belong to the alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) family and are used as exfoliants to remove dead skin cells, improve skin texture, and promote cell turnover. Others, such as hyaluronic acid, function as hydrating agents that attract water to plump and smooth the skin. Acids can also help maintain the skin’s pH balance, ensuring that formulations remain effective and skin-friendly.
