Citric acid, a naturally occurring alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from citrus fruits, is widely used in cosmetics for its exfoliating and pH-balancing properties. It helps remove dead skin cells, refine texture, and promote a brighter, more even complexion.
Citric acid is often included in exfoliating products, toners, and serums, targeting dullness, uneven tone, and rough skin. Its ability to adjust product pH levels also enhances the efficacy and stability of skincare formulations.
