Polysaccharides in aloe vera, which give the gel its tremendous moisture binding properties, are known to have some effect on aging. Polysaccharides are believed to reorganize epidermal cells located in the upper layer of the stratum comeum - the skin's thin protective surface barrier. As we age, cells in this top region become looser. Water escapes more easily, skin cells don't mature properly, bacteria and other bad guys - usually held out - can gain entry. Dry, scaly, aging skin takes over. By making epidermal cells more tight-fitting, complexions grow younger-looking and the barrier to the outside world is restored.

Found in the sugar cane plant,  it is also contained in juices from grapes, citrus fruits and milk or lactic acid.  It is used to refine the skin and removes discoloration, fine lines and wrinkles, small acne lesions and keratinocytes or dead skin cells leaving the skin lighter, fresher, with less discoloration and a smaller looking pore size.  AHA removes the substance that holds the skin cells together thus allowing the dead skin to peel off. The skin underneath is fresh and has healthier texture.
