Citric acid
INCI Name: Citric Acid
In cosmetics, citric acid is widely used as an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) and pH adjuster. As an AHA, it gently exfoliates the skin by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting smoother and more radiant skin. Citric acid is especially beneficial in products targeting uneven skin tone, fine lines, and dullness, as it encourages cell turnover.
Furthermore, it acts as a pH adjuster, helping to stabilize the formulation and maintain a pH level suitable for skin health. Citric acid can also provide antioxidant benefits, protecting the skin from environmental damage.
