Citric Acid

Citric acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that can be derived either synthetically or from various citrus fruits. It serves as an effective brightening agent for dull skin and dark spots, gently exfoliating and unclogging pores. As an exfoliant, citric acid helps lift off dead skin cells, resulting in a smoother and fresher complexion. Additionally, it is used to adjust the pH in skincare formulas.
