Glycolic acid (hydroacetic acid or hydroxyacetic acid); chemical formula C2H4O3 (also written as HOCH2CO2H), is the smallest α-hydroxy acid (AHA).

This colorless, odorless, and hygroscopic crystalline solid is highly soluble in water.

It is used in various skin-care products.

Glycolic acid is found in some sugar-crops.

A glycolate or glycollate is a salt or ester of glycolic acid.

Ceramides are a family of waxy lipid molecules.

A ceramide is composed of sphingosine and a fatty acid.

Ceramides are found in high concentrations within the cell membrane of cells, since they are component lipids that make up sphingomyelin, one of the major lipids in the lipid bilayer.

Contrary to previous assumptions that ceramides and other sphingolipids found in cell membrane were purely supporting structural elements, ceramide can participate in a variety of cellular signaling: examples include regulating differentiation, proliferation, and programmed cell death (PCD) of cells.
