Fruit acid is actually a general term for several chemical substances. Such as citric acid in citrus fruits, malic acid in apples, tartaric acid in wine, and glycolic acid extracted from sugarcane. Although most of the fruit acid products on the market are different combinations of glycolic acid or other fruit acids, they are usually not accurately labeled with which fruit acid is the main one, but are simply covered by AHA. This poses a risk for allergic reactions. Allergies are commonly manifested by local reactions such as skin flushing, edema, exudation, itching, eczema, or even ulceration. But a few may have systemic reactions, such as asthma, sneezing, perineal edema, etc.
