It appears that this article is topically focused more in cosmetics than in chemistry. While chemically, there is such a thing as an α-hydroxy acid, it's colloquial meaning (with roots in cosmetics) takes the article (and term) outside of the arena of natural science. I made several spelling changes and added a sentence on the etymology, but changed the category to cosmetics. rmosler 10:50, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. I have no knowledge about the chemical aspect of AHA, only the cosmetic ones. More revisions and contributions would be HIGHLY appreciated.--Chicbicyclist 23:31, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
