Citric Acid Anhydrous for the Skin
Belonging to Alpha-Hydroxy Acid family, Citric acid is a great exfoliant that helps remove the top layer of dead skin - leaving your skin looking smooth and radiant. It can be used as a pH neutralising agent in shampoos, dye, creams, and lotions.
Citric acid is slightly gentler compared to other acids and can be used in sensitive skin. However, make sure to perform a skin patch test first before using it to avoid complications.
